'Tap to Pay': Apple announces contactless payments via new iPhones
Apple has announced to introduce 'Tap to Pay' on newer iPhones that will help millions of merchants to use their devices to seamlessly and securely accept Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital wallets with no additional hardware or payment terminal needed.
Tap to Pay on iPhone will be available for payment platforms and app developers to integrate into their iOS apps and offer as a payment option to their business customers in the US first, Apple said in a statement late on Tuesday.
Stripe will be the first payment platform to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone to their business customers, including the Shopify Point of Sale app this spring and additional payment platforms and apps will follow later this year.
"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," said Jennifer Bailey, Apple's vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet.
