The Tap to Pay/”iPhone smooch” function to pay for goods and services has become a lot more ubiquitous.
According to Wix.com, the Tap to Pay feature on iPhone is now available to more than 700,000 additional businesses across the U.S.
As of Monday, businesses with an online store built on the Wix.com platform can accept in-person payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone. Launched in 2022, the feature allows for iPhone-to-iPhone contactless payments, with no additional point-of-sale hardware from companies like Square or Clover required for the transactions.
Upon reaching the checkout stage, a customer can tap their iPhone, Apple Watch, credit card, or other contactless payment option on the business owner’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using the same NFC technology behind Apple Pay.
Businesses can accept payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone using the Wix Owner app on the iPhone XS and newer after setting up the feature.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
