We are one step closer to supporting all businesses, no matter the size, to accept payments on any device in a way that works for them. This cutting-edge feature, coupled with Viva.com’s easy-to-use Terminal iOS app, caters to a diverse range of merchants, providing a streamlined and more effective payment solution and powering growth. We believe that our merchants in Italy will embrace this groundbreaking technology, which will support them in overcoming the practical hurdles associated with traditional payment hardware.”
Tap to Pay on iPhone enables Viva.com’s network of merchants to use a payment solution that is easy to set up and use. On an iPhone XS or later running the latest iOS version, merchants can download the viva.com terminal app on the Apple App Store to start using Tap to Pay on iPhone within minutes. At checkout, the merchant will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless credit or debit card, their iPhone or Apple Watch, or other digital wallet near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed.
