NFC technology allows two devices within close proximity, such as a smartphone and a payment terminal to wirelessly transfer data between each other. Your customers can securely send their credit or debit card information to your terminal without any physical contact.
NFC powers the technology behind mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and Google Pay, but the capabilities don’t stop there. Nowadays, consumers can use their fitness trackers and watches to make NFC payments, and if the contactless symbol is present on your physical credit or debit card, you no longer have to swipe or dip to complete your purchase.
Customers will know your business accepts near field communication payments if they see the contactless symbol displayed on your credit card terminal or card reader. Just as if he or she were to open their physical wallet or purse, the customer must open the NFC payment app on the smartphone or wearable device and select the payment method to be used, whether that is a credit card, a debit card, or a gift card. Once payment type is selected, the customer simply waves or taps their device over the NFC-enabled terminal to complete the transaction.
Today’s consumers desire a frictionless purchasing experience from start to finish. NFC-enabled equipment equals more sales by the hour. Couple that with enhanced security (tokenization), multi-factor authentication, and no contact with card and you offer your clients an attractive payment method. You can even bring loyalty programs and other value-added services to your customers with smart-tap NFC messaging.
