How customers should tap their card or phone
When the Tap to Pay on iPhone screen appears, present your iPhone to the customer. The screen will show where the customer should tap their card or device.
Contactless cards
Ask the customer to hold their card flat and horizontally on the tap area shown on your iPhone.
The card should stay there for a few seconds until the payment reads.
Apple Pay on iPhone
Ask the customer to open Apple Pay on their iPhone and authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or their passcode.
Then ask them to hold their iPhone near the tap area shown on your iPhone until the payment reads.
Apple Pay on Apple Watch
Ask the customer to open Apple Pay on their Apple Watch.
Then ask them to hold their Apple Watch near the tap area shown on your iPhone until the payment reads.
Other digital wallets
Customers can also pay with other contactless digital wallets.
Ask the customer to hold their phone, watch, or payment device near the tap area shown on your iPhone until the payment reads.
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.
