Troubleshooting Tap to Pay on iPhone

  • Updated

Tap to Pay on iPhone lets you accept contactless payments with just your phone — no reader needed. You'll need an iPhone XS or later running iOS 18 or later. If it's not working, here are the usual culprits:

  • Running a beta version of iOS
  • Trying to use Tap to Pay on an iPad (it's iPhone-only)
  • Your Stripe account is based in a country where Stripe doesn't offer Tap to Pay on iPhone yet (it's live in 22 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and much of Europe, with more in preview; see Stripe's full list)
  • Location services aren't enabled for the Payment app

If you hit a problem adding your business location, add it manually in your Stripe Dashboard at dashboard.stripe.com/terminal/locations (use your business address).
