Apple has rolled out Tap to Pay on iPhones in Canada, meaning businesses there can now accept payments from customers on iPhones.
Two years after Apple first launched it in the US, Tap to Pay on iPhone is now available to merchants in Canada, allowing them to accept contactless payments using their phones instead of dedicated readers. It also allows app developers to include this feature in their iOS apps.
“Canadians are increasingly relying on a variety of digital and contactless payment options,” Jennifer Bailey, Apple's vice president of Apple Pay and Apple Wallet, said in a statement, “so we're excited to collaborate on a payment platform.” to offer merchants across Canada a private, secure and easy-to-use experience that meets customers where they are. “We've seen merchants and customers around the world appreciate the versatility of Tap to Pay on iPhone.” , she continued, “and in a region as diverse as Canada, we look forward to simplifying this feature so businesses of all sizes can transact from coast to coast with just an iPhone.” to Pay on iPhone replaces the separate, single-purpose handheld devices that financial platforms sold to businesses to accept contactless payments. Now that the payment platform is rolling out the new feature, its users will be able to accept payments simply by using the iOS app and keep their iPhone close to the customer.
Apple says that at launch, the first payment platforms to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone will be Adyen, Moneris, Stripe and Square. It says other companies, including Aurus, Chase Payment Solutions and others, will introduce the feature over the next few months.
Tap to Pay on iPhone will also be available in Apple Stores in Canada later this year.
This feature is coming to Canada just over a week after Apple launched it in Japan.
