Tap to Pay on iPhone has been available in the US version for since Q3 last year (https://squareup.com/us/en/townsquare/tap-to-pay-iphone), why hasn't this made its way to the Australian version yet?

We want this asap.

Hey @WRamsay,

Thanks for inquiring about the Tap to Pay feature!

We're working closely with Apple to bring this to Australia, and markets outside the US. I'd personally also love to see this come to Australia asap as an avid iOS user. We can't share a timeline, but we will post an update as soon as it's available here.

Hey Quick Question Victoria,

Will the IOS Tap to pay Transaction rate be the same as the sellers current Card-Present Transaction rate or will it default to the 1.9%

Re: Tap to Pay on iPhone in Australia

tcbau — Tue, 31 Oct 2023 01:41:05 GMT

Now that TtP on iPhone has gone live in Australia I found on the Square website that the rate is 1.9% (or better if the seller is on a better rate).

If that’s not the case can someone please reply?
