Available devices
Tap to Pay solutions
Tap to Pay is offered through the Stripe Terminal iOS and Android SDKs. It includes support for American Express, Mastercard, Visa contactless cards and NFC-based mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay).
Tap to Pay on iPhone
Tap to Pay on iPhone is an easy way to enable users to accept payments directly on compatible iPhones. With Tap to Pay on iPhone, your business and customer data are protected by the security and privacy features built into the iPhone, and Apple does not store card numbers on devices or on Apple servers.
Tap to Pay on Android
Tap to Pay on Android lets users accept payments directly using contactless technology on compatible Android phones and tablets. Reach Android’s broad user base on a wide variety of NFC-enabled and Google-certified devices.
Use cases
Enable frictionless in-person payments
Use Tap to Pay to seamlessly accept—or enable users to accept—in-person, contactless payments. Tap to Pay is a feature of Stripe Terminal and integrates with the rest of Stripe, so users can manage online and in-person payments from one place.
Platforms
Expand in-person payment options via your POS app to support a number of use cases. Integrate Tap to Pay to enable users to accept payments on the go—for example at farmers markets, pop-up shops, and concerts, or after providing services such as landscaping or home repairs.
Retailers
Curate better in-person experiences for your customers. Let shoppers complete their purchases anywhere in the store for a more convenient experience, or shorten lines during seasonal influxes by equipping more staff to easily check out customers on the floor.
