Tap to Pay on iPhone has officially launched in Malaysia, adding a cost-effective solution for small businesses to accept contactless payments directly through their devices. This service, now available in over 50 countries, offers an alternative to traditional payment terminals, which require businesses to purchase or lease equipment.
Five payment platforms are initially supporting this feature in Malaysia: ADAPTIS, Fiuu, HitPay, Stripe, and Zoho. These platforms enable a wide range of sectors, including retail and food services, to utilize the Tap to Pay capability at checkout. Although it is not yet available in Apple’s own retail store in Malaysia, it is expected to launch there soon.
Apple's service allows users to accept payments with various cards such as American Express, Mastercard, and Visa. However, there may be instances where customers need to insert their cards and enter a PIN, although this is a rare occurrence with Tap to Pay on iPhone.
