iOS 15.4 Beta 2 Adds 'Tap to Pay on iPhone' Framework

The second beta of iOS 15.4 adds code for the new "Tap to Pay" feature that Apple announced this morning (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/02/08/apple-announces-tap-to-pay-iphone-feature/). "Tap to Pay on iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/iphone/)" is designed to allow NFC-compatible iPhones to accept payments through Apple Pay (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-pay/), contactless credit and debit cards, and other digital wallets, without requiring additional hardware.

Tap to Pay on ‌iPhone‌ is enabled in the latest beta, but it does require third-party providers to add support, so it is not yet available for use. There are no outward-facing signs of it that are visible to end users, but there's a new "PaymentReceived" sound file and images that show off the Tap to Pay interface.





MacRumors contributor Steve Moser (https://twitter.com/SteveMoser) has also discovered references to a "ContactlessReaderUIService" in the code, as well as mentions of alerts that end users will see. The feature will support reward passes and refunds.


<ul>


    <li>&zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; ready to accept a contactless payment.</li>


    <li>Hold your card or device to the seller's &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; and wait for the success sound.</li>


    <li>To accept contactless payments, turn on NFC and try again.</li>


    <li>The payment timed out for your security. Try again when you are ready to accept a payment.</li>


    <li>Multiple reward passes applied</li>


    <li>Pay %@ %@</li>


    <li>Refund from %@ for %@"</li>


    <li>Try Again &amp; Hold Card Longer</li>


    <li>Use your &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; to accept payments from contactless credit and debit cards, &zwnj;Apple Pay&zwnj;, or any other contactless payment devices.</li>


</ul>


The Tap to Pay feature will work with the &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; XS or later, and will allow supported iOS apps to accept &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; to &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; payments. At checkout, a merchant is able to prompt a customer to hold their &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj;, Apple Watch, contactless credit or debit card, or other digital wallet close to the merchant's &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; to complete a payment over NFC.





Stripe has announced (https://www.macrumors.com/2022/02/08/stripe-tap-to-pay-on-iphone-beta-program/) that it will be the first payment platform to offer Tap to Pay on &zwnj;iPhone&zwnj; to business customers, including Shopify users, later this spring. Apple Stores in the U.S. will also roll out support for the feature later this year.<div class="linkback">Related Roundups: iOS 15 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-15/), iPadOS 15 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipados-15/)</div><div class="linkback">Tag: Tap to Pay on iPhone (https://www.macrumors.com/guide/tap-to-pay-on-iphone/)</div><div class="linkback">Related Forum: iOS 15 (https://forums.macrumors.com/forums/ios-15.233)</div>
