Apple has rapidly been making efforts for the worldwide expansion of its feature Tap to Pay on iPhone. After its release in Italy in coming month, this feature which allows vendors to receive payments through their phones can now be accessed by users with iPhones in Germany.

The news was verified to the media on Tuesday by Apple. The company stated, “Apple today introduced Tap to Pay on the iPhone in Germany, enabling millions of merchants to use the iPhone for a smooth and secure processing of a contactless payments in the retail store”.

Like in rest of the countries where the Tap to Pay feature is already accessible, Apple collaborated hand in hand with major payment services in order to get their assistance for the feature right from the start. In Germany, the very first payment platforms to roll out this Tap to Pay feature on iPhone are Nexi, Commerz Globalpay, SumUp, Adyen, Viva, and myPOS.

The Tap to Pay feature enables merchants to receive contact-less transactions using a suitable iOS app on any iPhone Xs or more recent having the newest iOS version. Amidst cash out, the merchant just requests the buyers to keep their Apple Watch, iPhone or suitable NFC card close to the iPhone of merchant in order to finish the transaction.

In 2022 Tap to Pay feature was initially launched in iPhone in Us, and extended globally to France, Australia, the UK, Taiwan, Ukraine, Brazil, Italy, Canada, Japan and the Netherlands.
