Why merchants want Tap & Chip

Tap & Chip turns a compatible Android phone into a card terminal, helping small businesses accept contactless and chip & PIN payments without renting a separate card machine.

No extra terminal

Merchants can use a compatible Android device to accept card payments on the phone.

Fast checkout

Enter the amount, tap Charge, and ask the customer to tap or insert their card when prompted.

Receipts included

Merchants can email or print receipts after successful payments.

Wallet and payouts

The app shows wallet balance, transaction history and payout status.

Made for mobile businesses

Useful for markets, events, delivery services, salons, cafés, takeaways, taxis and freelancers.

Stripe powered

Payments are processed securely using Stripe Terminal infrastructure.

Referral maths that is easy to understand

Your reward is designed as a lifetime income stream. You earn only when your referred merchant is active and taking eligible live payments, so rewards are linked to real business activity.

500 transactions per month£25
