Imagine running a small chestnut stand at the weekly market in the autumn. The scent of your freshly roasted chestnuts wafts across the square. Customers are lining up, and their mouths start watering. But increasingly, instead of cash, they pull out their cards or smartphones to pay. You quickly realize: Cash payments alone are no longer sufficient.

A classic Kartenlesegerät would be one option, but acquiring one is expensive, it incurs monthly costs, and it sits unused outside of the season. TWINT alone also doesn't cover all your needs, because what about those customers who don't have the TWINT app or prefer to pay with a credit card? 

This is exactly where Tap to Pay from Payrexx comes into play. With the free app, you transform your smartphone into a fully functional payment terminal: Simply enter the amount, hold the card to your phone, or scan the QR code with TWINT. And your customers have paid.

With the Tap to Pay app from Payrexx, you practically have the terminal in your pocket. Just download the app from the Google Play Store, link it to your Payrexx Una cuenta, and you're ready to start.

Currently, Tap to Pay is available for Comerciante with headquarters in Switzerland. The solution is ideal for small businesses, food stands, pop-up stores, seasonal markets, or mobile service providers (such as personal trainers in the park or hairdressers for home visits). Even for SMEs, startups with a small budget, courier and delivery services, independent consultants, or companies looking for a backup solution for their stationary POS system, Tap to Pay is a good solution.

In summary, Tap to Pay is useful wherever flexibility counts and costs remain low.

What is Tap to Pay?

Behind Tap to Pay is the technology SoftPOS (“Software Point of Sale”). It turns your smartphone or tablet with NFC (Near Field Communication) into a fully functional Kartenlesegerät. This technology is the same as you know from contactless payments in the supermarket. 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 your transaction overview, can easily refund payments, analyze your revenue, and even switch between multiple devices if you use more than one. You can also activate the tipping function if needed. 

All you need is an NFC-enabled Android smartphone (from version 8.1).

Then you can quickly download the app and get started: 

• Download app: Go to the Google Play Store and download the free Tap to Pay app to your device.

• Link account: Log into your Payrexx Una cuenta, go to the “Tap to Pay” menu 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 the free subscription. 

• Get started: From now on, you can accept payments anywhere your phone has internet reception.

The payment process is just as simple: Once your buyers are ready to pay, open the app, enter the desired amount, and present the phone to the customer. They simply hold their card or mobile wallet to your smartphone, and the payment is made. And those who want 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

• TWINT

• Digital wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Samsung Pay

And soon, you can accept payments at your chestnut stand, ice cream truck, hair salon, and more. 

All benefits at a glance

A pricing model that remains fair

No fixed costs, no subscription fees, no maintenance costs: Tap to Pay can be used with the free subscription at transaction fees of 1.65 % + 0.15 EUR – with the premium subscription, you pay only 1.25 % + 0.15 EUR. So, no costs arise during the off-season!

Flexibility you really need

Whether at markets, in a taxi, in a pop-up store, or at a customer appointment: With your Android device, you can accept payments anywhere you have an internet connection. You don’t need additional hardware or complex setup. This makes Tap to Pay a reliable companion in your professional life.

A solution that grows with your business

When your business grows, Tap to Pay grows with it. You can activate more smartphones at any time and use the same account as a team. While you pay a fee of 4 EUR per month for each additional active device, this is still less than what a Kartenlesegerät would cost.

Security you can rely on

An app on the phone – is it secure? Yes, Tap to Pay is just as secure as a conventional terminal! The solution meets the highest security standards in the financial industry. It is PCI-DSS compliant, which means every transaction is encrypted and tamper-proof. 

Suitable for the Swiss market

For Swiss Comerciante, simplicity is key. That's why the app is designed to be as simple as possible and can be set up in just a few steps. Refunds and cancellations can be made directly via the app or Payrexx backend and receipts can be sent digitally by email or SMS.

Already many satisfied customers - Many companies already appreciate Tap to Pay.
