Tap to Pay on iPhone Expands to Nine New Countries

Apple has announced a significant expansion of its Tap to Pay on iPhone service, which allows small businesses to accept contactless payments directly through their iPhone without any additional hardware. The feature, first introduced in 2022, is now available in Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Liechtenstein, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Switzerland.

Key Points:

• Convenience for Small Businesses: Retailers can accept contactless payments from mobile wallets and physical cards using only their iPhone.
• No Additional Hardware Needed: Unlike traditional payment methods that require separate terminals or card readers, Tap to Pay on iPhone eliminates the need for extra hardware.
• Gradual Rollout: The service was initially launched in the US and has been gradually expanding to other countries.
• Multiple Payment Providers: Each country supports various payment providers such as Adyen, Revolut, Stripe, and others.
• Contactless Payments Only: The feature is limited to contactless transactions, which may have varying transaction limits.
• QuickBooks Integration in the US: Intuit has added a QuickBooks integration for seamless accounting of contactless payments.
