At EFTPOS Central, we’ve been on a mission to keep merchants at the forefront of payment technology. The landscape has shifted rapidly, we’re excited to introduce the latest innovation: Tap on Mobile.
As we prepare for the general release later this year, Tap on Mobile represents a significant step forward in payment solutions. But what exactly is Tap on Mobile, and how can it complement or even replace traditional EFTPOS terminals for many businesses? Let’s explore the possibilities.
What is Tap on Mobile?
Tap on Mobile, also known as SoftPOS (Software Point of Sale), turns any Android or Apple smartphone into a secure payment terminal, allowing businesses to accept contactless payments, including credit and debit cards, mobile wallets, and even wearable devices.
Gone are the days of relying solely on bulky hardware. Tap on Mobile provides flexibility without sacrificing security or functionality. With the rise of digital wallets and NFC-enabled devices, this technology offers a seamless way to process payments directly from your phone.
Adjunct to Traditional EFTPOS Terminals
While Tap on Mobile is revolutionary, it doesn’t mean the end of traditional EFTPOS terminals. In fact, for many businesses, Tap on Mobile works best as an adjunct to existing payment systems. For busy retailers or service providers, the ability to have multiple payment points during peak times can help reduce customer wait times and enhance the overall experience.
Imagine you run a café, and your traditional terminal is tied up with a customer making a large order. With Tap on Mobile, your staff can quickly process smaller transactions, keeping the line moving and customers happy. It’s an ideal way to add payment capacity without needing to invest in more physical terminals.
Evolving from Existing Mobile Solutions
For businesses already using mobile EFTPOS solutions, Tap on Mobile is a natural evolution. While mobile EFTPOS terminals have offered portability, they still require separate hardware. Tap on Mobile eliminates the need for a dedicated terminal, turning the device you’re already using—your smartphone—into a payment solution.
It’s not just about making payments more convenient. Tap on Mobile can help businesses reduce costs by minimizing the need for hardware maintenance or rental. It’s also eco-friendly, helping reduce e-waste by leveraging existing technology. The world is moving towards greener business practices, and this solution aligns perfectly with that trend.
Unlocking New Opportunities
At EFTPOS Central, we see huge opportunities with Tap on Mobile. For small businesses, mobile vendors, or event-based merchants, it opens up the possibility to offer cashless payments with minimal setup. There’s no need for a counter or a till—just a smartphone and an app. Whether you’re at a market, on the go, or providing in-home services, Tap on Mobile gives you flexibility without compromising on security or speed.
Looking Ahead to General Release
We’re incredibly excited to bring Tap on Mobile to the market later this year. The potential for growth and innovation is massive, and we believe it will be a game-changer for many of our customers. It’s not just about adapting to new technology—it’s about empowering businesses to offer better experiences to their customers.
As we near the general release, our team is already onboarding merchants to ensure a seamless transition for merchants when we launch. Tap on Mobile will be easy to use, affordable, and backed by the reliable service you’ve come to expect from EFTPOS Central.
