Acceptance SmartPOS for Platforms

This guide outlines the streamlined process for connecting your platform to Tap’s payment infrastructure, enabling your merchants to accept secure, in-person payments directly through their point-of-sale (POS) system.

By integrating with our APIs, you can embed Tap’s payment terminal functionality directly within your software. This allows you to seamlessly link Tap terminals, manage transactions, and access unified reporting—all from within your platform’s interface.

For merchants, this integration delivers a faster, more efficient checkout experience, allowing payments to be processed directly from the POS screen without manual intervention or redundant data entry.

Below is an overview of roles and key workflows within the integration:

For Platform & POS Providers
