Today, iStore Pay, iStore’s all-new business payment solution designed to empower the modern entrepreneur, now enables local businesses in South Africa to seamlessly and securely accept all forms of in-person contactless payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the iStore Pay app — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed.
At checkout, the merchant will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment method near the merchant’s iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.
Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone to help protect customer data. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn’t store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers, so businesses can rest assured that their data stays theirs.*
Tap to Pay on iPhone enables iStore Pay customers to use a contactless payment acceptance solution that is easy to set up and use. Merchants using an iPhone XS or later running iOS 18 or later, can start accepting contactless payments with Tap to Pay on iPhone within minutes through the iStore Pay app from the Apple App Store.
