Your affordable alternative to a card reader: This is Payrexx Tap to Pay
With Tap to Pay from Payrexx you can turn your smartphone into a terminal and make yourself independent of expensive hardware. The solution is cost-efficient, flexible to use and just as secure as a classic card reader.
Imagine you run a small chestnut stall at the weekly market in the fall. The aroma of your freshly roasted chestnuts wafts across the square. Customers are queuing up and their mouths are watering. But more and more often, they pull out their card or smartphone to pay instead of cash. You quickly realize that cash payments alone are no longer enough.
A classic card reader would be an option, but it is expensive to buy, incurs monthly costs and the device is lying around unused outside of the season. TWINT alone doesn't cover all your needs either, because what about those customers who don't have a TWINT app or prefer to pay by credit card?
This is exactly where Tap to Pay from Payrexx comes into play. With the free app, you can turn your smartphone into a fully-fledged payment terminal: simply tap in the amount, hold your card to your phone or scan the QR code with TWINT. And your customers have already paid.
With the Tap to Pay app from Payrexx, you have the terminal practically in your pocket. Simply download the app from the Google Play Store, link it to your Payrexx account and you're ready to go.
Tap to Pay is currently available for merchants based in Switzerland. The solution is ideal for small businesses, food stalls, pop-up stores, seasonal markets or mobile service providers (such as personal trainers in the park or hairdressers making house calls). Tap to Pay is also a good solution for SMEs, start-ups with a small budget, courier and delivery services, independent consultants or companies looking for a backup solution for their stationary POS system.
In summary, Tap to Pay makes sense wherever flexibility counts and costs need to remain low.
What is Tap to Pay?
The technology behind Tap to Pay is SoftPOS ("Software Point of Sale"). It turns your smartphone or tablet with NFC (Near Field Communication) into a fully-fledged card reader. This technology is the same as that used for contactless payment in supermarkets. The only difference is that you receive the payment with your smartphone instead of an external terminal.
The app becomes your mobile "business cockpit": you have full control over the overview of your transactions, can easily refund payments, analyze your income and even switch between several devices if you use more than one. You can also switch on the tipping function if required.
All you need is an NFC-enabled Android smartphone (version 8.1 or higher).
Then you can quickly download the app and get started:
Download the app: Go to the Google Play Store and download the free Tap to Pay app to your device.
Link your account: Log in to your Payrexx account, go to the menu item "Tap to Pay" and follow the instructions to connect the app. If you don't have an account yet, you can create one for free and use Tap to Pay directly with your free subscription.
Get started: From now on you can accept payments wherever your cell phone has Internet reception.
The payment process is also very simple: as soon as your shoppers are ready to pay, you open the app, enter the desired amount and hold your customer's cell phone out. They then simply have to hold their card or mobile wallet up to your smartphone and the payment is made. And anyone who wants to pay with TWINT can simply scan the QR code on your display with their app.
The following payment methods are available to you:
Mastercard and Visa
Digital wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay
And now you can accept payments at your chestnut stand, ice cream cart, hairdressing salon and the like.
