Xero Tap to Pay (sometimes called Tap to Go) lets you take a card, phone, or smartwatch payment on the spot without buying a separate terminal. Open the Xero Accounting app, raise an invoice, and your customer taps their device on yours. Stripe processes the payment and Xero marks the invoice as paid, all in a few seconds.
Which problems does it remove?
Carrying a bulky point of sale terminal or paying monthly rental is no longer necessary because your existing smartphone is the only hardware you need.
Waiting days or weeks for bank transfers is replaced by instant settlement while you are still with the customer, improving cash flow. Manual data entry disappears since each payment is matched automatically to the invoice in Xero, which reduces errors.
Customers get more ways to pay because Tap to Pay accepts contactless cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and most wearables. Finally, money moves straight into Stripe so there is no cash to handle or store, lowering security risk.
