Apple\u2019s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in features of iPhone to keep the businesses\u2019 and customers\u2019 data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn\u2019t store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a small business owner at a weekend farmers market, an independent contractor on the go, or an in-person business of any size, this solution lowers barriers to accepting payments wherever your customers are. Established merchants can also leverage this technology to create new transaction methods, improving their overall customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At checkout, merchants simply enter the transaction amount using a Tap to Pay on iPhone-enabled iOS&nbsp;app and present their iPhone to the customer, who then holds their Interac Debit card horizontally at the top of the iPhone, or by using Debit with a digital wallet such as Apple Pay. When the merchant sees the Done checkmark, the card read is complete and the transaction is being processed. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meeting Consumer Preferences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith Tap to Pay on iPhone, we are making it easier and more accessible for businesses to accept Interac Debit,\u201d said Giles Sutherland, Head, Business Development, Interac Corp. \u201cMore and more Canadians are showing a preference for using debit with contactless options; now businesses of all sizes can deliver this customer experience, no matter where they choose to sell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interac.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Interac_The_Big_Shift_EN_FINAL.pdf\">72% of Canadians previously polled by Interac<\/a> have indicated they want to use their debit cards everywhere they shop \u2013 online, in-app, and in-store. Tap to Pay on iPhone delivers on this demand by providing new ways for businesses to conveniently accept in-person contactless payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Start selling with Tap to Pay on iPhone today<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses in Canada can start accepting in-person payments on their iPhone today with Adyen, Moneris, Square and Stripe. Additional acquirers will launch in Canada later this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on how to start using Tap to Pay on iPhone, reach out to a participating acquirer today.
