New technology provides sellers with more
flexibility at checkout and an easy onramp to Square ecosystem
Sellers can begin testing the Square
integration of Tap to Pay on iPhone through the Early Access
Program this summer
Square today announced that it is working with Apple to enable
Tap to Pay on iPhone, Apple’s contactless payment acceptance
capability, within the Square Point of Sale app. The new offering
enables sellers of all sizes to seamlessly and securely accept
in-person contactless payments with only an iPhone and Square’s
industry leading POS app. Ahead of publicly launching the service
later this year, Square also announced an Early Access Program for
Tap to Pay on iPhone, allowing select sellers to begin testing the
new technology.
Tap to Pay on iPhone provides sellers with a simple solution to
accept contactless payments with no additional hardware, and
integrates with Square’s broader ecosystem of tools built to help
them start, run, and grow their business. Using just the Square POS
app and an iPhone, sellers will be able to seamlessly and securely
take contactless payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone. This builds on
Square's powerful software which helps sellers drive more business
with marketing and loyalty programs; easily track and manage
product inventory; and even simplify their cash flow with business
banking tools that provide them instant access to their Square
sales.
“As a seasonal business that’s always on the move, it’s
important to have an easy-to-use, reliable mobile option for taking
payments,” said Teddy Rojas, owner of Kona Ice Vacaville, an early
participant in Square’s Early Access Program. “Square and Apple are
making it really convenient to make sure we never miss a sale. With
Tap to Pay on iPhone, I can process contactless payments quickly,
even on cellular service, and it provides a really straightforward
experience so new staff can easily get up and running on taking
payments on an iPhone.”
The in-person payments landscape continues to evolve, driven by
buyer preferences for contactless payments and encouraged by an
industry-wide migration towards more secure payments enabled by NFC
technology. Since democratizing card acceptance more than a decade
ago, Square has remained committed to lowering the barrier to entry
for new entrepreneurs while ensuring sellers can continue to meet
their business and customers’ needs with innovative products.
With Tap to Pay on iPhone, sellers gain more flexibility to
unlock new commerce experiences and help ensure they never miss a
sale, whether that involves empowering staff to line bust in retail
environments for faster checkouts, or equipping professional
services workers to take contactless payments on the go. Customers
get the convenience of using contactless credit or debit cards, as
well as digital wallets such as Apple Pay, to make seamless and
secure purchases wherever they shop.
“Square’s purpose is rooted in economic empowerment, which is
why we’ve always offered a free way for businesses to get started
using our services,” said David Talach, Head of Financial Services
at Square. “Bringing Tap to Pay on iPhone into the Square ecosystem
ensures that new sellers will have another free option to get up
and running, while providing businesses of any complexity with more
flexibility to adapt their commerce experiences to evolving
consumer preferences and changing industry trends.”
Space in Square’s Early Access Program for Tap to Pay on iPhone
is limited. Square sellers and new merchants interested in learning
