With Tap to Pay on iPhone, you can accept in-person contactless payments directly on a compatible iPhone. Customers can pay with supported contactless credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets — no extra card reader or payment terminal required.
What you need
Before using Tap to Pay on iPhone in Duranta, make sure you have:
An iPhone XS or later with the latest supported version of iOS
The Duranta mobile app
A Duranta account with payments enabled
An approved payment account
Location Services enabled for Duranta, if prompted
Accepted card networks follow your connected payment account and may include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
Step 1 — Enable payments
Open the Duranta app.
Go to More → Payments.
Tap Enable payments.
Complete the secure in-app onboarding to verify your business. This is handled by Stripe and usually takes less than 15 minutes.
When your account is approved, Duranta will notify you that Tap to Pay on iPhone is ready to set up.
Approval is not always instant. Verification may take additional time depending on your business details.
Step 2 — Set up Tap to Pay on iPhone
From More → Payments, open the Tap to Pay on iPhone section.
Tap Set Up Tap to Pay.
Review and accept the Tap to Pay on iPhone Terms and Conditions when prompted.
Wait while your iPhone finishes setup. Duranta will show a Setting Up Tap to Pay progress screen.
Complete the Tap to Pay on iPhone tutorial.
Tap to Pay on iPhone is not ready to use until setup is complete.
Once setup finishes, the Tap to Pay on iPhone section will show Ready to accept payments.
Step 3 — Take a payment
Open an invoice with an outstanding balance.
Tap Charge.
Choose Tap to Pay on iPhone, if prompted.
Confirm the payment amount.
Ask the customer to hold their contactless card, iPhone, Apple Watch, or supported digital wallet near the top of your iPhone.
Keep the card or device near your iPhone until the payment is read.
Wait while the payment is processing.
Review the payment result.
Duranta will show whether the payment was approved, declined, or timed out.
If a card cannot be read
Ask the customer to try again and hold their card or device near the top of your iPhone.
If the card still cannot be read, ask the customer to try another contactless card or digital wallet.
In Canada or other regions where a fallback payment method is required, some cards may not be able to complete contactless transactions using a PIN. If this happens, ask the customer if they have an alternative contactless card or digital wallet and continue the transaction using Tap to Pay on iPhone.
You can also use another available Duranta payment option:
Record Payment — Cash, Check, manually entered Credit Card, or Wire/ACH
Share invoice — Send a payment link by text, email, or copied link
Receipts
After a successful payment, Duranta can email the customer an invoice receipt when paid-invoice email notifications are enabled.
