Tap to Pay: accept payments with your phone

Turn a compatible smartphone into a contactless terminal—no extra card reader required.

Tap to Pay lets you accept NFC payments with a card or digital wallet from the Avirato Payments app on supported devices (iPhone and Android, subject to system requirements).

Payments are recorded in the dashboard with the same detail as other channels: amount, status, payment method, and reference.

What you need

Before your first payment, confirm you meet these requirements:

  • An active Avirato Payments merchant account.
  • The app installed and signed in with your dashboard user.
  • A device with NFC and an operating system that supports Tap to Pay.
  • A stable internet connection at the time of payment.

Best practices when taking payment

To reduce declines and improve the customer experience:

  • Enter the amount in the app before the customer taps their card or phone.
  • Wait for on-screen confirmation before delivering the product or service.
  • Check the dashboard to confirm the transaction shows as approved.
  • If an error occurs, check connectivity and retry; do not duplicate charges without verifying.
