Apple is testing its upcoming 'Tap to Pay' feature for iPhone at the Apple Park Visitor Center, according to Twitter user @NTFTWT.

The Apple Park Visitor Center is one of the only apple retail stores in the US to support contactless pay straight from an iPhone. Awesome to see in person!

Apple announced 'Tap to Pay' contactless payment for iPhone back in February. 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 merchant’s 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.

So far, Apple has partnered with Stripe and Adyen on contactless payments; however, it has yet to announce a release date for the feature.
