Turn your smartphone into a card terminal! Find out how PaymashPay can help small shops and self-employed people accept card payments easily and cost-effectively thanks to Tap to Pay.
Modern payment solutions for SMEs and the self-employed
For a long time, accepting card payments was an expensive and cumbersome undertaking, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), market stall operators and mobile service providers. High acquisition costs, monthly service fees and clunky hardware were the norm. But thanks to innovative technologies, this is now a thing of the past.
What is Tap to Pay? The power of software
The idea is very simple: it is an app that, when installed on an NFC-enabled device, turns it into a certified payment terminal. Instead of using a separate reader, merchants can accept payments from contactless debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro) and mobile wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) directly on their smartphone. The customer briefly holds their card or mobile phone up to the merchant's smartphone and the transaction is securely completed.
Requirements: Turn your smartphone into a card terminal with just a few clicks
The threshold for using Tap to Pay is deliberately kept low in order to offer flexibility. To get started with Tap to Pay, for example from PaymashPay, you essentially only need three things:
- An NFC-enabled Android smartphone or tablet: NFC technology is the core component for contactless payment without additional hardware.
- The Paymash POS app: This app is the key to turning your smartphone into a card terminal.
- The Adyen Payments app: This app securely handles all payment logistics.
