Start Free — No Credit Card RequiredTap to Pay: The End of Card Reader Hardware for Service Businesses
Contactless payment acceptance has historically required dedicated hardware — a card reader that costs $50-300, needs charging, can be lost or damaged, and adds friction to the payment moment at every appointment. Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android eliminates this hardware dependency entirely by using the NFC chip already built into modern smartphones. For independent service providers — mobile massage therapists, personal trainers, hairstylists working at client locations, tutors, photographers — the ability to accept every major contactless payment method without carrying additional equipment represents a meaningful operational improvement. The phone you already carry becomes a full payment terminal capable of accepting Apple Pay, Google Pay, and any contactless card.
"Tap to Pay In-Person Payments isn't a feature — it's infrastructure. The businesses that adopt it first compound the advantage every single day."
Supported Payment Methods: Every Contactless Option Your Clients Use
Schedly's tap to pay supports the complete spectrum of contactless payment methods available to consumers in 2026, across all nine integrated payment providers. Apple Pay covers iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac with Touch ID — representing the majority of premium mobile payment volume in the US and UK. Google Pay covers Android phones and Wear OS watches across the global Android ecosystem. Samsung Pay adds broader NFC coverage for Samsung device users. Beyond mobile wallets, every major card network's contactless specification is supported: Visa payWave, Mastercard Contactless, American Express Contactless, and Discover Contactless. For European businesses, providers like Adyen, Worldline, Revolut, and myPOS additionally support regional methods including Bancontact, iDEAL, and UnionPay. Any card or device displaying the contactless symbol works immediately — your clients pay with whatever they have, and you accept everything.
Unified Online and In-Person Payment Tracking for Appointment Businesses
The most operationally powerful aspect of Schedly's integrated tap to pay is the unified payment tracking across online and in-person transactions — regardless of which provider processes each payment. A client who pays a deposit online at booking and the remaining balance in person at the appointment creates two transactions that are both automatically linked to the same Schedly booking record. Your revenue dashboard shows the complete financial picture — total collected per appointment, outstanding balances, refunds processed, and deposit-to-balance conversion rates — across all payment channels and all providers in one unified view. This eliminates the reconciliation problem that plagues businesses using separate tools for online and in-person payments: no more cross-referencing multiple dashboards to understand actual appointment revenue.
