Clip Unveils Revolutionary Tap to Pay Solution
In a significant leap for digital payments, Clip, the premier digital commerce platform in Mexico, has launched its latest feature,
Tap to Pay, tailored for Android devices. This innovative technology empowers businesses to transform their smartphones into contactless payment terminals, allowing for seamless transactions with just a tap.
What is Tap to Pay?
The Tap to Pay solution leverages NFC (Near Field Communication) technology alongside the Clip app, enabling businesses to accept payments without needing to invest in costly physical card terminals. This solution is particularly beneficial for
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), who play a pivotal role in Mexico's economy, generating approximately 52% of the national GDP and providing nearly 70% of formal jobs, as reported by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).
Fernando Gómez Rayón, Clip’s Head of Payments and Go-to-Market, emphasized the importance of this new feature, stating, "This solution addresses the demands of millions of small merchants seeking a quick and straightforward means to participate in the digital economy. Our objective is to establish this tool as a trustworthy ally for businesses, ensuring security and confidence with every transaction."
Features and Benefits
Here are some key benefits of the Tap to Pay system:
- - Instant Terminal Access: Businesses can start accepting digital payments instantly without the need for extra hardware.
- - Quick Activation: The service can be activated in just five minutes directly through the Clip app.
- - Security: Tap to Pay adheres to stringent industry standards. No card data is stored on user devices, ensuring maximum security.
- - Digital Management: Users can send digital receipts through SMS or email, integrating seamlessly with the Clip digital catalog.
- - Daily Transaction Capability: The app is designed to handle transactions up to $1,000 MXN, making it ideal for everyday use in small business settings.
