This is seriously gunna be a game changer. Small business guy here and I used to use PayPal readers but they stopped that here in Australia a little while ago. I have no idea why. This would be just awesome. Thanks 🙏 Apple.

I wonder if this feature will also be used to verify digital state ID’s, like the upcoming one for the Apple Wallet.

I have literally said this on other forums on social media and I will say it again here

That IS WHY the iPad DESERVES NFC

On a peer to peer viewpoint like sending your friends and family money it's good BUT on consumer to business viewpoint the iPad DESERVES TO BE THE NFC ENABLED HARDWARE to pay for goods and services at businesses

I’m also curious what fees will be charged per transaction. I would be willing to get rid of one of my business payment methods in favor of this system. Because as of right now, I use Square for all transactions.

This is crazy cool! Those Square and Shopify readers are glitchy and run out of battery super fast. At a convention/event you can’t afford that kind of friction when someone is making a purchase. Can’t wait for this!

Wich app I need to download for tap to pay in the uk ?

[xcarlittosx]

Will I be able to use the NFC chip for terminals that don’t accept wireless payments??? (Apple pay, google pay)

The mobile payment system landscape is quite confusing.

But what’s the difference between sending money thru iMessage? Is it more secure for business? Does this help the business with their taxes and documents?

[Iamjanetlove]

I would love to use this feature but I cannot figure it out. Do I need too download a payment app? I have an iphone 13. Please help. I just started a new small vendor business and would love to use my iphone rather then sqaure.

They have had something like this in Japan for a while. Unfortunately it has a lot of issues for the train. I went back to the physical card shortly after trying it and being late to work numerous times because of the phone version not working/ scanning properly.

[UnBiasedConsumer]

How much different is this than what people had using Android? I thought for sure tap to pay features could be used on pretty much any Android phone. Is this the same or much different?

[adampauldricco]

Apple says XS and later will the XR have this feature?

[montavio]

When is this coming? We already on ios 16.1

[monkeybusiness]

Cool. The only hindrance is small merchants will have to buy expensive iphone. So there is no way this will be adopted widely in many countries.

[kinocchio]

We don't even have Apple Card in Europe.

[tauk]

Please please please bring this to the UK too. It’ll help my small business so much

[MediSpring]

I have iOS 15.4 now. Where is tap to pay?

[Anony.Mousse]

Takes the whole “I don’t have cash” meme with the street beggars to the real level.

[Aladinzc]

It is quite vague for me how do I receive payment? Can my Wallet app be able way to accept payment. I would be natual way for me.
Or can be my banking app be supporting this feature and be acepting payments? That would be best way for me as small business. Why woudl I need another middle man to pay commision to?
