Square Software Turns Android Devices Into Powerful Payment Technology

Tap to Pay on Android lets sellers accept contactless payments directly from their phone, without the need for additional hardware.

Square today launched Tap to Pay on Android for sellers across the U.S., Australia, Ireland, France, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The new technology empowers sellers to securely accept contactless payments with a compatible Android device, and at no additional cost.

With Tap to Pay on Android, Square is making it even easier for new sellers and established businesses to conduct in-person commerce. Using a compatible Android device, a seller simply opens the Square Point of Sale, Square Appointments, Square for Restaurants, or Square Invoices app, enters the sale, and presents their smartphone to the customer. From there, the buyer will see the total they owe along with the familiar contactless payments symbol, and can choose to complete the payment with a contactless credit or debit card, or a digital wallet such as Google Pay.

“We operate a large fleet of technicians who are always on the move, responding to multiple calls a day. Time is money for us, literally,” said Lena Furr of Overhead Door Company of Washington D.C., which has been in business for over 50 years. “With Tap to Pay on Android, we’re getting both convenience and speed combined with an experience our customers love. When our technicians are wrapping up an onsite job, they can just take out their phone, have the client tap their card or phone, and hit the road for their next appointment. Meanwhile, we’re able to keep track of all the sales our crews make in the field right from our Square Dashboard.”

Tap to Pay on Android is powered by Square’s elegant, intuitive software which gives sellers a flexible, mobile solution that meets consumers’ growing preferences for contactless payments. Square’s software also benefits consumers by offering them a smooth and straightforward checkout experience, enabling them to see all the information needed to help them complete their purchase with confidence.

“Square’s goal is to make sure that our sellers, no matter where they are or who they are serving, never miss a sale,” said Alexis Sowa, General Manager of Square Point of Sale. “Our launch of Tap to Pay on Android brings a unique technology to millions of sellers globally, giving merchants a simple way to accept payments and access world-class, integrated software for their business. Even though Tap to Pay technology has only been available for a short time, the breadth of applications and use cases we’re seeing across our seller base already reinforce its staying power.”

Square sellers and new merchants can begin using Tap to Pay on Android today by downloading the Square Point of Sale, Square Appointments, Square for Restaurants, or Square Invoices app on compatible Android devices. For more information, please visit squareup.com/get/tap-to-pay-android.
