Enhanced customer engagement:

Increased sales
By accepting mobile payments, businesses can reach a wider range of customers who prefer to pay with their mobile devices. This can lead to increased sales and revenue.

Mobile payments provide digital receipts and records, which makes it easier for businesses to track sales and manage inventory.
Better Insights
With the ability to track the data and customer behavior, businesses are able to have a better understanding of the customers needs, preferences, and spending habits which can help them to make more effective business decisions.
How Tap on Phone Works
Tap on Mobile functionality relies on the NFC (Near Field Communications) capability of compatible iPhone and Android devices to securely read information from Contactless Cards.
NFC is a set of short-range wireless technologies, typically requiring a distance of 4cm or less to initiate a connection. NFC allows compatible iPhone and Android devices to securely share small payloads of data with a Contactless payment card or another NFC capable device.
The card being used for payment has to be a Contactless payment card or loaded into a digital wallet such as Apple Pay or Google Pay, in order for the card to be able to interact with the mobile device via NFC.
