With Tap to Pay on iPhone, your iPhone becomes the card reader: accept contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and other digital wallets — no additional hardware required.

Where it works

  • In the ORAVA app on iPhone, with a recent version of iOS. It is not available on Android, iPad or in a web browser.
  • For businesses in supported countries (including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and much of Europe). Elsewhere the option is hidden.
  • Your business needs a Stripe account connected in Payments Setup, with its business address complete.

Enable it (once per business)

  1. Open Payments Setup and tap Enable Tap to Pay on iPhone — or tap the Tap to Pay tile the first time you get paid.
  2. Tap Continue. Apple asks you to accept its terms; it takes a minute and only needs doing once.
  3. Only an administrator of the business can accept them. Each business you run accepts them separately.

Tap See how it works any time for Apple's short guide.

Take a payment

  1. Open an invoice, tap Get paid, then Tap to Pay on iPhone (it is also a payment method at the Point of Sale).
  2. Present your iPhone to the customer. They hold their card horizontally, or their phone, at the top of your iPhone for a few seconds.
  3. When the check mark appears, the payment is done and the invoice is marked paid. If a PIN is needed, the customer enters it on your iPhone.

Refunds
Open the invoice and tap More → Refund.
