How to Use Tap to Pay
- On the Mobile App, choose Point of Sale.
Please Note:
Make sure that your Stripe account is connected/integrated on the Web app prior to accessing Tap 2 Pay on the mobile app. If you see a message saying "Stripe not connected" then that means you need to integrate it on the web app first.
You can integrate your Stripe account by going to Payments > Integrations > Connect with Stripe
- Ensure the location on the mobile app is configured correctly, as Tap 2 Pay only works for specific locations (Currently US only).
- Once everything has been configured and set, you can now use Tap 2 Pay. After putting in the amount and note, click on Charge (Amount)
- Wait for it to load and connect to the reader.
- Add a tip on top of the amount if necessary. You can also customize the amount for the tip by clicking "Custom." If not, then just proceed with "No tip."
- Ask your customer to tap their contactless payment method (e.g., Credit card, Apple Pay, etc.) to the App for the app to collect the payment to your Stripe account.
- Once it goes through, you'll see "Approved, Payment Successful" on the screen, the name of the business and also a transaction ID.
