Tap to Pay is a secure and convenient way for customers to pay for goods and services. With Tap to Pay, customers simply tap their credit or debit card or digital wallet on the back of a merchant's mobile device to complete a payment.
The rollout of Tap to Pay is a major win for small businesses, which have been increasingly reliant on contactless payments in recent years. According to a global consumer study by Mastercard, nearly 80% of buyers have used contactless payments to complete a purchase.
With Tap to Pay, small businesses can now accept contactless payments without having to purchase and manage additional hardware. This can save businesses time and money, and it can also help them streamline their operations.
In addition, Tap to Pay allows businesses to manage both their Venmo and card payment transactions directly within the Venmo app. This can help businesses to track their sales and cash flow more easily.

"We're unlocking access to this capability for the millions of businesses using Venmo and PayPal Zettle, helping them drive sales with frictionless payment options."
Small business owners can start accepting contactless payments with Tap to Pay today. To learn more and about either payment solution, visit the Venmo or PayPal.
