Cielo, one of the largest and most traditional acquirers in Brazil, now allows its Brazilian customers to accept contactless payments in person with Tap to Pay on the iPhone in an easy and secure way.
Tap to Pay on iPhone accepts all contactless payment methods from Visa and Mastercard, including contactless credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets, using only an iPhone and the Cielo app for iOS without the need for an additional payment terminal. At checkout, the customer simply holds their contactless payment method near the merchant's iPhone, and the payment will be securely completed using NFC technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone also supports PIN entry, which includes accessibility options.
Apple's Tap to Pay contactless payment technology on the iPhone uses the iPhone's built-in features to keep merchant and customer data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple does not store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers.
Tap to Pay on iPhone allows Cielo customers to use an easy-to-set-up and easy-to-use payment solution. Merchants will be able to unlock contactless payment acceptance through the Cielo app for iOS on an iPhone XS or later with the latest version of iOS. Merchants can simply download the Cielo app from the Apple App Store to start accepting payments within minutes.
Tap to Pay on iPhone is also available to Cielo customers through an SDK, enabling developers who want to integrate the frictionless payment experience into their apps.
