Tap into Efficiency: MyTime’s Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android Solution with Stripe

Tap to Pay on iPhone® and Android™ Now Available with MyTime Pay and Stripe

Customers demand a seamless and modern checkout experience in today's fast-paced retail environment. For franchise owners and operators aiming to stay ahead, adopting technologies like contactless payments is no longer a luxury—it’s essential. With Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android, MyTime delivers a secure, convenient, and hardware-free payment solution, making it easier than ever to meet these expectations.

The Shift to Contactless Payments: Meeting Customer Expectations

Today’s consumers are increasingly adopting contactless payments through mobile wallets like Apple Pay®, Google Pay™, and tap-enabled credit cards for fast and secure transactions. In fact, 51% of Americans now use contactless payments, according to Mastercard. Additionally, 1 out of 3 Americans uses contactless payment methods, which has surged 7 times in adoption over the past three years. Globally, 74% of in-person transactions outside the U.S. were conducted using contactless payments. Despite this shift, many businesses still rely on outdated payment systems that lack the NFC (Near Field Communication) technology that is required to accept contactless payments, making them less competitive and potentially alienating customers.

Thanks to an integration with Stripe, the MyTime Scheduler app now supports Tap to Pay on iPhone and Tap to Pay on Android. With this powerful update, businesses can easily accept NFC-enabled payments using their iOS or Android mobile devices. This feature allows businesses to meet modern customer expectations by offering a simple and secure way to process payments with a tap—no additional hardware required.

How it Works: Easy, Fast, and Secure

Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android simplifies payment processing, making transactions faster and more secure. Here's how it works:

• Simple Setup: Once your business is set up with Stripe and MyTime, employees can process payments by simply tapping the customer’s NFC-enabled card or mobile wallet against the mobile device.
• No Extra Hardware Needed: Say goodbye to charging batteries, damaged devices, or lost terminals. This update leverages the technology that is already built into your iPhone or Android device, eliminating the need for separate card readers. It operates directly through the MyTime Scheduler app, powered by Stripe’s secure payment gateway.
• Seamless Transactions Everywhere: Payments are processed quickly and securely, providing a frictionless checkout experience anywhere you do business, whether at a customer’s home or at a pop-up event.

Simplify Multi-Location Operations with a Software-Only Payment Solution

This feature offers incredible benefits for multi-location businesses and franchises that offer services that take place outside of any one location:

• Lower Operational Costs: No need for separate card readers or terminals, reducing costs and complexity.
• Less Equipment to Manage: Simplify operations by eliminating the need for Wifi, Bluetooth, or extra devices. Just enable the feature in the MyTime Scheduler app, and your staff is ready to process transactions with minimal equipment management or maintenance.
• Quick Implementation: Employees can process payments directly from their mobile devices, speeding up transactions and improving customer satisfaction.
• Unified Payment Solution: As a part of MyTime Pay, this feature is intuitive and easy to roll out across all locations, ensuring consistency and efficiency.
• Simplify Multi-Location and Mobile Operations: Staff can process transactions effortlessly on-the-go, enabling quick and easy checkouts at any location or mobile service, such as mobile dog grooming or at-home consultations. This simplicity helps to reduce wait times and improve convenience for both customers and businesses.

Whether you have one location or hundreds, MyTime Pay with Stripe streamlines your operations while offering your customers a modern, contactless, and secure payment experience.

Stripe-Backed Payment Security: Ensuring Trust and Compliance

Security is critical in payment processing, especially with the growing concerns of data breaches and fraud. Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android is supported by MyTime’s integration with Stripe’s industry leading payment processing technology, ensuring businesses can have confidence in secure transactions.

• Encryption & PCI Compliance: Every transaction is fully encrypted and meets PCI compliance standards.
• Advanced Fraud Prevention: Stripe’s fraud prevention tools protect against unauthorized payments.
• Chargeback Liability Shift & Reduced Chargebacks: Contactless payment shifts fraud liability to the bank by verifying the card is present during the transaction, reducing chargebacks and protecting merchants—especially for high-ticket services like IV treatments ranging from $500 to $1,500.

This level of security not only enhances customer trust but also makes it ideal for franchise businesses, further safeguarding against fraud and improving transaction security.
