How to Process a Payment Using Tap to Pay

In this guide, we’ll show you how to use the Tap to Pay feature to accept payments by turning your iPhone into a payment terminal.

Step 1: Raise an Invoice

In the Pabau GO app, you can raise invoices in three ways: directly from the Calendar, from the client journey, or through the POS (Point of Sale).

Step 2: Select Payment Method 

Once you've selected the client and items, proceed to the Cart by clicking on the cart icon in the top-right corner. Then, click the "Continue" button to choose your payment method.

If you have enabled the Tap to Pay feature, the "Tap to Pay" option will appear as a payment method. Tap on it to continue.

NOTE: The Bluetooth card terminal and Tap to Pay on iPhone cannot be used simultaneously.

If you want to switch from your Bluetooth terminal to Tap to Pay on iPhone, you would need to disconnect the terminal by force-closing the app and turning off Bluetooth on your device.
To switch from Tap to Pay on iPhone to Bluetooth terminal, force-close the Pabau GO app by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and swiping it away.

Step 3: Tap Payment Method to iPhone

Now, hold your client's iPhone, card, or wearable near your iPhone to accept the payment.

Step 4: Confirm Payment

Once the payment is successfully processed, the Point of Sale will display the checkout completed screen, an invoice will be generated, and the payment method will be listed as Card Terminal, the same as payments processed through the terminal.

By following these steps, you can process payments using Tap to Pay.
