Bring the payment to the customer.

For a field-service visit, a pop-up counter, or an appointment, carrying another device is not always the best fit. Tap to Pay on iPhone lets supported merchant apps accept contactless cards and compatible digital wallets on an eligible iPhone without a separate card reader.

  • Take supported contactless payments where you work
  • Use a compatible iPhone with the supported merchant app
  • Consider a handheld terminal when your needs go beyond phone acceptance
02 /

Set up the right app and account.

You need more than a phone: the supported app, a compatible device and operating system, connectivity, and an approved merchant setup must all work together. Circle helps you understand the requirements and available processing options before you start.

  • Confirm device, software, and geographic availability
  • Review account approval and app setup
  • Learn the customer-facing payment and receipt flow
03 /

Keep the experience professional.

A mobile checkout is still part of your brand. Discuss available receipt and branding options, who on your team will take payments, and how those transactions fit your reporting. App features, transaction limits, and available payment methods depend on the selected provider.

  • Choose a setup for one person or a mobile team
  • Understand reporting and transaction visibility
  • Know how to reach support when you are away from the counter

Your questions.
Clearer answers.

Do I need a separate reader?

For supported Tap to Pay on iPhone contactless transactions, a separate card reader is not required.
