As a merchant, setting up the infrastructure to accept payments, can be a daunting task that creates barriers with customers rather than eliminates them. According to UK Finance, 87 per cent of consumers now make contactless payments at least once a month or more frequently. This means that having the right payment infrastructure in place is key to avoid those lost sales.

But how many times have you been let down by a traditional card terminal? Payment issues can lead to longer queues that tarnish your customer experience and disrupt your business operations. That’s why viva.com has a solution with merchants and end customers in mind!

Viva.com is a European entirely cloud-based neobank that enables UK merchants to seamlessly accept in-person contactless payments with just an iPhone. By using Tap to Pay on iPhone and the viva.com | Terminal app, users can seamlessly accept contactless payments using cutting-edge technology designed for everyday use. One single smart device can save you money, time and resources; it is all about convenience and flexibility, streamlining payments so you can focus on day-to-day operations.

Tap to Pay on iPhone lets you accept contactless payments, right on iPhone – without any extra terminals or hardware. Payments can be accepted with a number of different methods, from contactless credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets. Simply download the viva.com | Terminal app on the Apple App Store to start using Tap to Pay on iPhone within minutes, enter the purchase amount, present the iPhone to the customer and allow them to tap their card or digital wallet over the contactless symbol to finalise the transaction.

Additionally, having the viva.com | Terminal app readily available on iPhone is as sophisticated as it is simple and lends itself to a number of different case-by-case uses. For example, being able to complete restaurant orders from any location ensures fast and simple completion, without the worry of card terminals losing signal from its central docking station. On top of that, restaurant managers can use the “Batches” feature of the viva.com | Terminal app that allows for a comprehensive breakdown of daily performance that can be easily tracked.

Maximise your business operations

Tap to Pay on iPhone can be used to take payments around a store – whether that’s a local store or on the high street. Giving customers the option to pick up and purchase can help eliminate long queues! Business is streamlined, customer experience is elevated, and sales are boosted.

But this is not just limited to shops, restaurants or cafes. Independent retailers, taxi drivers, hotels, enterprises, any business of any size in any industry can also benefit from the viva.com | Terminal app’s numerous features.

Having outstanding balances that need to be settled can also be a needlessly frustrating exercise for all involved, particularly when you have the means to pay. This is why Viva.com recently introduced near-instant access to funds, with transactions settled in up to 60 minutes. This also means that you can effectively settle your bills, pay your employees and quickly access your earnings all within one hour after payment, helping you to remain agile as you go about your daily business. Viva.com’s expanding innovative business product suite also includes the business debit card to manage, automate and monitor corporate expenses, while decreasing transaction fees to as low as zero per cent!

Digital receipts can be retained via SMS or email and customers can also make tips if they choose to do so. On top of that, the viva.com | Terminal app is free to be downloaded on as many handsets as necessary – all at no additional cost.

But as streamlined as it is for businesses to use, it also places the customers’ wellbeing at the heart of its innovative technology. Tap to Pay on iPhone uses the built-in features of iPhone to help keep your business and customer data private and secure. When a payment is processed, Apple doesn’t store card numbers on the device or on Apple servers, so you can rest assured knowing your business stays yours.
