Take card payments in person on your phone, with no separate card reader. The customer taps their card or phone on yours and the money settles through your connected Stripe account.
In a hurry? Quick steps

What you need
You need a connected Stripe account, a supported phone with contactless hardware, and the customer in front of you with a contactless card or a phone wallet. Device support varies, so check that your phone is supported.
How it works
Tap to Pay turns your phone into the card terminal. There is no separate reader to buy, carry or charge. The customer taps, the payment is taken, and it settles through Stripe alongside your other card payments.
When to use it
It is built for taking payment on site, for example at the end of a job when the customer wants to pay there and then by card.
