What it is for

Tap on Phone, in practice.

  • Nothing extra to carry

    Take a card payment with the phone you already have on you: at the counter, at a market stall or on a delivery.

  • One tap for the customer

    A customer holds their contactless card or phone to yours. No card to insert and no number to type.

  • Recorded like any sale

    It lands in the same ledger as every other payment, with the same digital receipt.

  • A backup for busy days

    Keep the card reader at the counter and use your phone when the queue grows or you are away from the till.

How it will work

Amount in. Tap. Done.

The whole sale happens on one screen of the app you already use, so there is nothing new to learn and nothing to set up at the counter.

  • The customer taps a contactless card or phone
  • The payment appears in your ledger
  • A digital receipt can be sent straight away

FAQ

About tap on phone.

Straight answers about Payble, your money and how it works.

When can I use Tap on Phone?

It is coming soon and there is no date yet. Nothing has been switched on for any business.

Do I still need a card reader?

Not for this. Tap on Phone is being designed so a supported phone can take contactless payments by itself. A card reader stays a good fit for a busy counter, and both will record into the same ledger.

Which phones and cards will it work with?

We will list the supported phones and cards before it opens, so you know before you rely on it.

Will it cost extra?

Pricing has not been announced. We will publish it here when the feature is available.

How do I hear when it is ready?

Register your interest on this page and we will email you as soon as it opens.
