Sumup - Tap To Pay
« on: December 28, 2023, 07:50:42 am »
Pretty cool. Only noticed it when setting up / testing my phone nua - TCL 40, €129 Clubcard price from Tesco. Gives another option for those who have reported issues with reader connections.











If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

Yes, the phone is all you need. I paid myself a Euro without going near the car to find the reader.

I don't think it was on my last phone either, Pixel 2 - if it was I didn't notice it... but the bugger's dead now and doesn't hold it's charge* anymore so can't check... might plug it in later and have a look.

*needs to be plugged in for a good hour before it'll start and then can't be unplugged for more than 11.5 minutes or it dies.

Maybe you need a NFC chip inside your phone?

Dunno... I think they all have some sort of NFC... I know one could, at least theoretically, use the dinosaur Pixel 2 to make contactless payments. Might be an Android Version / software thing?

I've Tap to Pay on the OnePlus 11. Not sure how you would be fixed if the customer needs to insert card though.

You'd have to get cash. AFAIK the relevant regulations only require us to have a "contactless" solution... also, bear in mind, that according to NTA you may insist on cash if your payment device or it's connection fails... the legal bit of their explanation being that a client is obliged to comply with any reasonable request made by a driver and a request for cash in such circumstances falls within the same.

If they throw cash at you is that considered contactless?

I used to find that offensive, but now I'd be quite happy with that kind of contact less payment.
