The latest mobile app update (v3.98.1) introduces a new way to accept in-person payments using Tap to Pay on Square. This means merchants can now accept contactless payments directly through the app without needing extra hardware—making in-person payments faster and more flexible.

What’s New: Tap to Pay for POS & Mobile Payments

The mobile app now supports Tap to Pay on Square, in addition to existing methods like:

• Cards on File

This means your customers can now pay with:

• Other NFC-enabled devices

Requirements to Get Started

Before using Tap to Pay, make sure you meet the following:
