`CUPERTINO, CALIFORNIA — Apple today announced plans to introduce Tap to Pay on
`iPhone. The new capability will empower millions of merchants across the US,
`from small businesses to large retailers, to use their iPhone to seamlessly and
`securely accept Apple Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital
`wallets through a simple tap to their iPhone — no additional hardware or payment
`terminal needed. Tap to Pay on iPhone will be available for payment platforms
`and app developers to integrate into their iOS apps and offer as a payment
`option to their business customers. Stripe will be the first payment platform to
`offer Tap to Pay on iPhone to their business customers, including the Shopify
`Point of Sale app this spring. Additional payment platforms and apps will follow
`later this year.
`
`“As more and more consumers are tapping to pay with digital wallets and credit
`cards, Tap to Pay on iPhone will provide businesses with a secure, private, and
`easy way to accept contactless payments and unlock new checkout experiences
`using the power, security, and convenience of iPhone,” said Jennifer Bailey,
`Appleʼs vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet. “In collaboration with
`payment platforms, app developers, and payment networks, weʼre making it
`easier than ever for businesses of all sizes — from solopreneurs to large retailers
`— to seamlessly accept contactless payments and continue to grow their
`business.”
`
`Once Tap to Pay on iPhone becomes available, merchants will be able to unlock
`contactless payment acceptance through a supporting iOS app on an iPhone XS
`or later device. At checkout, the merchant will simply prompt the customer to
`hold their iPhone or Apple Watch to pay with Apple Pay, their contactless credit
`or debit card, or other digital wallet near the merchantʼs iPhone, and the payment
`will be securely completed using NFC technology. No additional hardware is
`needed to accept contactless payments through Tap to Pay on iPhone, so
`businesses can accept payments from wherever they do business. Apple Pay is
`already accepted at more than 90 percent of US retailers, and with this new
`capability, virtually every business, big or small, will be able to allow their
`customers to Tap to Pay on iPhone at checkout. Tap to Pay on iPhone will also roll
`out to Apple Store locations in the US later this year.
`
`Privacy is fundamental in the design and development across all of Appleʼs
`Search Newsroom
`payment features. With Tap to Pay on iPhone, customersʼ payment data is
`protected by the same technology that makes Apple Pay private and secure. All
`transactions made using Tap to Pay on iPhone are encrypted and processed
`using the Secure Element, and as with Apple Pay, Apple doesnʼt know what is
`being purchased or who is buying it.

`
`Apple will work closely with leading payment platforms and app developers
`across the payments and commerce industry to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone to
`millions of merchants in the US. Tap to Pay on iPhone complements and
`enhances the robust suite of payment and commerce tools that payment
`platforms and app developers provide to their merchant customers to help them
`run and grow their businesses. Tap to Pay on iPhone will work with contactless
`credit and debit cards from leading payment networks, including American
`Express, Discover, Mastercard, and Visa.
`
`“Whether youʼre a salesperson at an internet-first retailer or an individual
`entrepreneur, you can soon accept contactless payments on a device thatʼs
`already in your pocket: your iPhone,” said Billy Alvarado, Stripeʼs chief business
`officer. “With Tap to Pay on iPhone, millions of businesses using Stripe can
`enhance their in-person commerce experience by offering their customers a fast
`and secure checkout.”
`
`Tap to Pay on iPhone will be available to participating payment platforms and
`their app developer partners to leverage in their software developer kits (SDKs)
`in an upcoming iOS software beta.
