Take payments everywhere you do business
Your iPhone becomes a complete point of sale system. Process transactions anywhere — at a customer’s location, on a delivery route, or even moving between service areas. You’re not tied to a fixed terminal or specific workspace.
Get up and running instantly, no hardware required
Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the NFC technology already built into iPhone XS and newer models (the same technology that powers Apple Pay). That means there are no card readers to charge, no terminals to maintain, and no equipment to replace.
Robust security and fraud prevention, even on the go
Leverage the built-in security features of iPhone alongside Aurora’s added protections to help keep customer payment data private and secure with every tap.
Embed tap payments natively into your platform
If you’re building software for merchants who need in-person payments, Tap to Pay on iPhone lets you enable contactless acceptance directly in your mobile application.

When you’re processing payments on the move, you need answers fast. Aurora’s support team understands mobile payment processing and can help you troubleshoot issues, optimize your setup, or answer questions about specific transaction scenarios.
Contactless payments that work wherever you do
Accept payments with just an iPhone — no hardware, no delays, no being tied to a counter. Just download the app and go. From storefronts and field services to software providers, Tap to Pay on iPhone makes it easy to take payments wherever business happens.
