TLDR: Apple’s ‘Tap to Pay on iPhone’ is now available in Canada, allowing contactless payments without extra hardware.

Apple has said that “Tap to Pay on iPhone” is now ready in Canada through chosen payment platforms.

This means businesses can take contactless payments on an iPhone, with no extra point-of-sale hardware like a Square Terminal needed.

Easy peasy.

Customers can pay by simply tapping their iPhone, Apple Watch, contactless credit or debit card, or other contactless payment options on the merchant’s iPhone. Payment is safely finished using the same NFC technology behind Apple Pay.

Available Through Select Apps

Businesses in Canada can offer Tap to Pay on iPhone through iPhone apps from:

  • Adyen
  • Moneris
  • Stripe
  • Square

In the coming months, Apple said these companies will also offer the feature in Canada:

  • Aurus
  • Chase
  • Fiserv
  • Helcim

Coming to an Apple Store Near You

Apple said Tap to Pay on iPhone will be available at Apple Store locations across Canada, and at merchants such as Sephora, later this year.

Tap to Pay on iPhone was launched in 2022 and is also available in the U.S., Australia, Brazil, France, Japan, the Netherlands, Taiwan, the U.K., and Ukraine.
