The checkout experience makes it easy to reach new customers, take payments on the go, and explore new setups, like line busting. All you need is a mobile phone and the Squarespace app.

No additional hardware

There’s no need to invest in and manage card readers and terminals. Tap to Pay makes it simple to start a new business or expand current one. With just a phone and the Squarespace app, anyone can accept contactless payments. It’s that simple.

Privacy and security built in

Tap to Pay uses the built-in security and privacy features of your phone to help protect your business and customers’ data. When a payment is processed, your provider doesn’t store card numbers on your phone or on its servers. So merchants and customers can rest assured that their data stays theirs.

No recording

When a payment is processed, Tap to Pay is designed to prevent all photo, video, screenshot, and screen-recording features from capturing a customer’s card number.
