To pay with your phone instead of a card, set up a digital wallet (Apple Pay for iPhone, Google Wallet/Pay or Samsung Pay for Android) by adding your credit/debit card details in the app. Ensure NFC (Near Field Communication) is enabled in your phone's settings. At checkout, unlock your phone, hold it near the contactless terminal, and wait for the confirmation.

To use Tap to Pay on your iPhone, you typically double-click the side button (or home button), authenticate with Face ID/Touch ID/passcode, then hold the top of your iPhone near the contactless symbol on the card reader to pay with your linked cards in the Wallet app; for accepting payments as a business, you use a supported payment app (like Square, PayPal) where you start the payment and the customer taps their device or card on your iPhone's top.
You can check for NFC settings on your Samsung Android device by looking in the settings app > connections > tap NFC and contactless payments. If you see an option for NFC there, your device is enabled to make NFC payments.
Yes, tapping your card is generally considered safer than inserting it because it uses tokenization and encrypted one-time codes, preventing your actual card details from being exposed to the terminal and reducing the risk of skimming, keeping your card in your possession at all times, and often requiring biometric authentication with mobile wallets, though both methods are secure due to EMV technology. While both tap and insert (chip) use strong EMV security, tapping avoids physical contact with potentially compromised readers and keeps your data encrypted for each transaction, making it a superior choice for security and hygiene.
You can pay with Google Wallet wherever you find the contactless or Google Pay symbols on the payment terminal screen or cash register.
