Through Tap to Pay on iPhone, Square is providing a solution
that makes it easier for both new sellers and established
businesses to conduct in-person commerce. Any Square merchant with
a compatible iPhone can accept contactless payments by simply
opening the Square POS app, ringing up the sale, and presenting
their iPhone to the buyer. The buyer completes the payment by
tapping a contactless payment method such as Apple Pay, another
digital wallet, or a contactless credit or debit card. Tap to Pay
on iPhone uses the built-in features of iPhone to keep the
business’ and customers’ data private and secure. When a payment is
processed, Apple doesn’t store card numbers on the device or on
Apple servers.
Today’s public launch follows Square’s Early Access Program for
Tap to Pay on iPhone, which began in June. Over the course of the
program, a wide range of sellers found new value in the ability to
seamlessly and securely conduct business with no additional
hardware:
- Mobile professionals like contractors and caterers gained the
ability to securely take contactless payments onsite at their
project location.
- Retailers found new efficiency through line busting and the
convenience of helping shoppers complete their purchase wherever
they are in store.
- Hairstylists and beauty professionals benefited from the speed
and ease of enabling customers to pay for their services right from
their chair.
“Deploying Tap to Pay on iPhone has really enhanced the retail
experience we’re able to provide our shoppers, in multiple ways,”
said Franco Salerno, owner of Warrington, Pennsylvania-based
Darianna Bridal & Tuxedo and an Early Access Program
participant. “Our young customer base would rather use their
digital wallets or contactless cards, and rolling out Tap to Pay on
iPhone has helped us meet our shoppers’ preferences with a
convenient solution that also brings an air of sophistication to
the buying experience. What’s more, given our store’s large
footprint, we’ve been able to speed up purchases by bringing the
checkout process to wherever our shoppers are.”
Powered by Square’s elegant, intuitive software, Tap to Pay on
iPhone gives sellers a flexible, mobile solution that can adapt to
any environment while meeting evolving consumer preferences for
contactless payments. Shoppers also benefit from Square’s software,
which creates a smooth, straightforward checkout experience that
provides them with all the information needed to help them complete
their purchase with confidence.
“As commerce continues to rapidly evolve and contactless
adoption in the U.S. continues to grow, Square is focused on
ensuring sellers of all types and sizes have the technology needed
to delight their customers and never miss a sale,” said David
Talach, Head of Financial Services at Square. “Tap to Pay on iPhone
offers a new level of accessibility for merchants to begin taking
payments in minutes and processing transactions in seconds from
anywhere in the store or on the go without the need for a separate
payments device.”
Tap to Pay on iPhone is the latest addition to Square’s growing
slate of software-powered commerce tools and provides new merchants
with an easy entry point into the company’s broader ecosystem of
innovative business offerings. With just the Square POS app and a
compatible iPhone, sellers can gain access to a fully integrated
technology stack that helps them start, run, grow, or adapt their
businesses.
Square sellers and new merchants can begin using Tap to Pay on
iPhone today by downloading the Square POS app on compatible
devices. For more information, please visit
