TapPay enables merchants in Taiwan to accept contactless payments

By Leandra Monteiro

TapPay has launched the Tap to Pay feature for iPhone users, now enabling merchants in Taiwan to accept contactless payments.

Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all forms of contactless payments, including Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the TapPay app. This feature will be available for TapPay’s merchants across industries such as dining, entertainment, and more.

At checkout, merchants can simply ask the customer to hold their contactless payment mode near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. 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.

TapPay, Vice President, Joseph Liao stated, “In response to the prevalence of non-cash transactions, we’re excited to enable Tap to Pay on iPhone for our merchants. We’re looking forward to merchants being able to accept payments seamlessly through Tap to Pay on iPhone, which will make it suitable for tableside checkout, exhibition markets, pop-up stores, and delivery payments. With greater flexibility at checkout and payment acceptance through Tap to Pay on iPhone, payments can be made anytime, anywhere, regardless of the store’s environment or scene.”

TapPay leverages technology as its core, enhancing digital financial technology services, and combining multiple channels to provide businesses and consumers with more convenient and secure all-round financial technology products.
