“Contactless payments are increasingly becoming the norm, therefore it's crucial that businesses of all sizes are able to accept this form of payment,” Google Payments director of product management Dong Min Kim said. It is now live in six markets - the UK, US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Singapore - and supports transactions through Mastercard, Visa, American Express and mobile payments such as Google Pay. Instead businesses can turn any compatible Android device into a contactless mobile card reader, fully integrated with the rest of Stripe. Tap to Pay is a feature of Stripe Terminal, and provides an alternative for businesses to the dedicated card readers.
“Now any business can set up in-person checkout in minutes.” “ Stripe’s launch of Tap to Pay on Android puts contactless payments hardware into the pockets of millions of businesses around the world,” Stripe Terminal business lead John Affaki said. Now the fintech is massively expanding its reach by allowing anyone with an NFC-equipped Android device to carry out Tap to Pay transactions as well.
The payments giants became Apple’s first payment partner last year, enabling any iOS device to act as a payment-making or -taking terminal. Stripe is expanding its ‘Tap to Pay’ offering to include Android.
