Tap & Pay: How to Collect Contactless Payments

Tap & Pay lets you collect contactless payments in-person without a card reader or terminal. It works with physical cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other digital wallets.

✅ For iPhone users: Tap & Pay works on iPhone Xs or later with iOS 16.4 or higher.

Step 1: Enable Tap & Pay

Step 2: Set Up in the Rubric App

  4. Select your club or union name.

  5. Choose an item category (e.g., Membership), then select the specific item.

  6. Enter the buyer’s email address and tap Proceed, then Tap & Pay.
