Tap to Pay—Security & Limitations

Understand what each payment method requires to maintain customer information safety.

Credit Card Tendering Restrictions

Only iPhone models XS or later on iOS 16.4 and later support tap to pay with Adyen. For a register configured to use tap to pay that doesn't meet those conditions, you can only use a connected terminal for credit card tendering.

Payment Method Requirements

Tap to pay requires a credit card to conduct payments. Tap to pay doesn’t support multi-tender payments or transactions that require a pin.

Testing Requirements

For testing this feature with your test Adyen account, you'll need a sandbox. For testing tap to pay in POS 11.6.1 and greater, see Testing Tap to Pay in Non-Production Environments with the POS Beta App.
