Windcave now offers Tap to Pay on iPhone in New Zealand and Australia
An easy, secure and private way to accept contactless payments with only an iPhone and a supporting iOS app - no extra hardware needed.
Windcave, a leader in innovative payment solutions, now enables Tap to Pay on iPhone for merchants in New Zealand and Australia. Merchants across New Zealand and Australia can now securely accept in-person contactless payments with only an iPhone and a supporting iOS app, offering a new level of convenience for both businesses and consumers.
Tap to Pay on iPhone allows merchants to accept all forms of contactless payments, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and a supporting iOS app — no additional hardware or payment terminal needed. Windcave merchant and platform partners can seamlessly integrate this feature into their apps via the Windcave SDK, supporting both merchant and enterprise use cases.
Using Tap to Pay on iPhone is easy, secure and private. With Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone contactless payment acceptance technology, at checkout, merchants will simply prompt the customer to hold their contactless payment 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 features of iPhone to keep the business and customer data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn’t store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers.
Air New Zealand, in partnership with Windcave, is the first merchant to deploy Windcave's Tap to Pay on iPhone solution. Air New Zealand has integrated the technology across its fleet of iPhones. This partnership aims to provide an enhanced, streamlined customer experience for passengers, allowing them to complete transactions quickly and easily with their preferred payment methods.
“With the launch of Tap to Pay on iPhone, we’re excited to support New Zealand and Australian merchants in delivering fast, flexible, and secure payment options that meet the needs of today’s customers,” said Joel Martin, Sales Director for Windcave. “Our collaboration with Air New Zealand as the inaugural user of this solution from Windcave demonstrates the versatility and potential of Tap to Pay on iPhone across diverse environments.”
With Tap to Pay on iPhone, Windcave is positioned to revolutionize how businesses of all types accept payments, all while providing a secure and simple experience.
