Tap to Pay requirements
In order to use the tap-to-pay app, you will need the following:
- An iPhone model XS or newer updated to iOS 15.5 or later
- A Zeffy account connected to an American bank account
Setting up the App
Open up the app and login with your Zeffy email and password.- The app will then proceed to check if you need all the requirements. If all requirements are met, they will turn green and you will be able to click on next.
Configure the Reader
Once you've logged into the account, you will be prompted to configure the card reader on your phone. To set it up > Click Configure > Discover Readers > Apple Built-In (XXX).
Once you click on Apple built-in, you'll see a little spinning circle and the mention "connecting." It may take up to a minute for the reader to connect. You'll see a pop-up that the connection was successful when the reader has been connected.
Accepting a payment
Once your reader is successfully connected, you will see a list of your Zeffy forms on which you can accept payments.
⚠️ Tap-to-pay is currently only compatible with single-date events, raffles and e-commerce / boutiques.
If your form is a multi-date event form, membership form, or donation form, it will not show up in your tap-to-pay app. Donation forms and campaigns are not currently supported by the tap-to-pay app.
Select the form for which you want to make a sale. You will see a list of your different rates. If you have enabled the "extra donation" feature on your form, you will also see the option to add an extra donation for your non-profit. Confirm your selection and pass the phone to the buyer.
They will see a summary of the payment and checkout total. They will be asked to enter their email address to receive their confirmation email and their payment receipt. Once they have filled out their information, they will be prompted to tap their card to the phone in order to complete the payment.
