PayPal Announces 'Tap to Pay on iPhone' for Venmo and Zettle Businesses in the U.S.

PayPal has announced that Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available for all Venmo business profile and PayPal Zettle users in the United States. This enables businesses to accept contactless card and digital wallet payments directly on their iPhones with no additional cost or hardware.

Consumers are increasingly going cashless. More than 40 percent of Americans surveyed say that none of their purchases are made with cash in a typical week, and that trend is expected to continue. As a result, accepting card and digital wallet payments in person is increasingly table stakes for small businesses, but until recently, businesses have had to purchase and manage card readers to do so. With Tap to Pay on iPhone, PayPal is helping millions of small businesses adapt to this shift in consumer behavior in a fast, easy, and more affordable way.

"As consumers increasingly turn to non-cash options to pay, small businesses are looking for affordable and flexible ways to offer their customers more payment choice without being tied down to a fixed location," said Nitin Prabhu, VP, Small Business & Financial Services, PayPal. "With Tap to Pay on iPhone, millions of small businesses that use Venmo and PayPal Zettle can now start accepting contactless card and digital wallet payments nearly anywhere, directly on their iPhones, which can expand their customer base and drive incremental sales."




How It Works
With Tap to Pay on iPhone, Venmo business profile and PayPal Zettle users in the U.S. can get set up in minutes and begin securely accepting contactless cards and digital wallets directly on their iPhones. They can also add taxes, accept tips, send receipts, and issue refunds. In addition, funds from sales will settle quickly into a business's Venmo or PayPal Zettle account, helping to streamline operations and manage cash flow.

Tap to Pay on iPhone will also enable Venmo business profile users to dramatically expand their customer base and accept payments from buyers even if the buyer doesn't have a Venmo account. They can also manage both their Venmo and card payment transactions directly within the Venmo app.
