Tap to Pay on iPhone

WooCommerce launched as an e‑commerce platform that helps businesses build and grow their websites. Businesses also wanted to increase in-person sales, so Woo expanded its platform to integrate Tap to Pay on iPhone.

These businesses can now offer shoppers a more flexible buying experience. And Woo can offer businesses a platform that syncs between online and in-person purchases. With that support, they can set up shop at events such as farmers markets, pop-ups, and street fairs to sell their wares just as easily as they can online.

“Accepting payments so soon after signing up for Woo means anyone with an iPhone can get a business started in minutes.”

Doug Aitken, Payments Operations Manager, WooCommerce

By enabling Tap to Pay on iPhone, Woo merchants can offer their customers a more streamlined checkout and accept payments anywhere they take their iPhone. No additional hardware needed.

Since opening in 2013, Darianna Bridal and Tuxedo owners Franco Salerno and Wendy Ianieri-Salerno have regularly updated their store to meet customer needs. They strive to stock the latest fashions and use the latest technologies. So when they faced a demand for contactless payments, they turned to Square and Tap to Pay on iPhone.

Tap to Pay on iPhone is popular with Darianna’s young, digitally savvy customers who frequently shop without their wallets. They’re pleasantly surprised to be able to pay using their phones from anywhere in the store.

“Customers are fascinated by the ability just to hold the card over my iPhone to pay.”

Franco Salerno, Co-Owner, Darianna Bridal and Tuxedo

Tap to Pay on iPhone has allowed Franco and Wendy to seamlessly adapt to changing customer preferences by using a technology that’s already on hand — their iPhone. And simplifying checkout has enabled Darianna’s employees to focus on the most important part of their job: finding the perfect dress.

Jobox was created to give home service professionals — such as electricians and locksmiths — powerful digital tools that make their jobs simpler and more efficient. These workers are always on the go, and they need customers to pay for services onsite. So Jobox added Tap to Pay on iPhone.

“Being able to use a seamless payment solution on an iPhone eliminates so much friction when accepting payments.”

Yossi Shemesh, Director of Product, Payments, Jobox

Now Jobox professionals can easily take payments onsite at the time of service with only an iPhone. Tap to Pay on iPhone is integrated directly into the Jobox app and is so easy to set up that new users can take payments on day one.
