Key Features To Include In Your Contactless Payment Application
What is Contactless Payment? Contactless payment is a means for consumers to make purchases with a payment device by tapping the device on a point-of-sale terminal. Many also refer to contactless payment as "tap-and-go" payments. The use of two different technologies makes this possible. 1.
Radio frequency identification (RFID)
2.
Near-field communication (NFC)
A contactless payment solution overrides a consumer's need to insert or swipe a credit or debit card. Consumers that use contactless payments don't have to enter their PIN or sign for the transaction.
How Does it Work? 1.
The merchant's payment terminal prompts a consumer to pay.
2.
The consumer then holds their payment device over the contactless payment symbol.
3.
Payment information is then electronically transmitted from the payment device to the bank or financial institution.
4.
If the transaction is approved, the payment terminal makes a noise or lights up, indicating the transaction is complete.
