Tap to Pay on iPhone Now Available to Worldpay Merchants Using SwipeSimple

New York, NY – CardFlight, Inc., and Worldpay®, a global leader in payment technology, today announced Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available to all SwipeSimple® merchants. Tap to Pay on iPhone is an easy, private, and secure way to ensure a SwipeSimple Worldpay merchant will always have the tools needed to accept a payment right on their iPhone — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed.

With Tap to Pay on iPhone, at checkout, merchants will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method — such as a contactless debit or credit card, Apple Pay, or other digital wallet — near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology.

Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone to help protect your business and customer data. Apple doesn’t store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers, so merchants and customers can rest assured that their data stays theirs.*

Cindy Turner, Chief Product Officer at Worldpay, said: 

With Tap to Pay on iPhone and SwipeSimple, our merchants have access to flexible options enabling them to take payments wherever they do business, using a device they already have in their pocket. It’s a natural upgrade for service business, professional offices, local retail, and for growing teams that want speed and reliability.

Robert Newton, VP of Product at CardFlight, said:

SwipeSimple is built to make in-person payments easy and Tap to Pay on iPhone complements our mission perfectly. Merchants can begin using it immediately after opting in and keep payments flowing with the iPhone they already carry.
