Apple Inc. said it will launch a tap-to-pay feature that will
allow businesses and retailers to use an iPhone to accept Apple
Pay, contactless credit and debit cards as well as other digital
wallets without any other hardware necessary.
Apple said the feature will be made available to payment
platforms and app developers to integrate into their iOS apps and
offer as a payment option to business customers.
Payment processor Stripe Inc. will be the first platform to
offer the feature this spring to its customers, which include
Shopify's point-of-sale app, Apple said. Other payment platforms
and apps will start offering the feature later this year, the
company said.
"As more consumers are tapping to pay with digital wallets and
credit cards, Tap to Pay on iPhone will provide businesses with a
secure, private, and easy way to accept contactless payments and
unlock new checkout experiences using the power, security and
convenience of iPhone," Apple's vice president of Apple Pay and
Apple Wallet Jennifer Bailey said.
Apple said that the company won't be able to access what is
being purchased or who is buying it. It said payment data is
encrypted and protected by the same technology used for its Apple
Pay.
Apple said the feature will work with credit and debit cards
from various payment networks, including American Express,
Discover, Mastercard, and Visa.
