Mobile payments platform, Zapper, says that merchants can now accept tap-on-phone payments.
The new functionality gives them access to virtually all digital payments without the need for any additional point of sale hardware and irrespective of whether consumers have the Zapper app.
This includes Samsung Pay, Apple Pay, and Garmin Pay. All consumers in South Africa will be able to make use of the new payment option whether they have the Zapper consumer app on their phone or not. “Previously our merchant app was primarily a tool for our merchants to get their payment confirmation feeds through a push notification, in real-time, eliminating the need to wait for an SMS, email, or logging into the merchant portal online. It also allowed merchants to generate a QR code or payment link quickly and easily. Now, the app also turns the merchant’s phone into a point-of-sale device without the need for any additional peripheral hardware,” said White.
