Tap to Phone allows customers to pay by simply tapping their contactless-enabled credit card, debit card, or mobile device (such as a smartphone or smartwatch) on a compatible device—no credit card reader is needed.
Tap to Phone supports all major credit and debit cards with the NFC icon and digital wallets, like Google Pay, Apple Pay, and Samsung Pay. You can start accepting credit cards as soon as you sign up for Vagaro Credit Card Processing by connecting your Apple ID to your merchant account, which only takes a few moments.
