In-person contactless payments
Tap to Pay for service businesses
Accept contactless card and digital wallet payments in person, then keep each payment connected to the customer, job, invoice, and service history in BetterFlow.
- Collect payment while the customer is still with you
- Use an eligible phone instead of carrying a separate card reader
- Keep in-person and remote payment workflows together
The payment moment
Get paid before you leave the job.
Service businesses often finish work face to face. Tap to Pay gives the customer a simple way to pay on the spot, reducing the gap between completed work and collected revenue.
The BetterFlow workflow
Keep payment connected to the work.
BetterFlow brings the in-person payment into the same operating flow as booking, customer details, estimates, invoices, and follow-up.
How it works
A faster in-person checkout for service work
When Tap to Pay is available and configured on an eligible device, the payment can happen in three simple steps.
Customer holds their card or wallet near the phone
The customer uses a supported contactless card or digital wallet at the prompted area of the device.
Confirm and continue
Once approved, keep the payment result with the customer and service record so the next action is clear.
