Australia-based Nexxtap and Samsung have partnered to introduce a Tap to Phone payment solution on Samsung Rugged tablets, specifically the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro. This collaboration aims to streamline payments by eliminating the need for traditional terminals.
Through this initiative, businesses can leverage their smartphones or tablets as portable payment devices with Nexxtap’s SoftPOS technology integrated into Samsung’s hardware. The integration is centered around the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active4 Pro, which now serves as a versatile payment terminal thanks to Nexxtap’s secure software solutions.
At present, visitors at Bluestone Espresso Bar can experience this tap-to-pay solution first-hand by ordering and paying via a card, watch, or phone through a Samsung tablet equipped with Nexxtap’s technology. This real-world demonstration showcases how simplified transactions can enhance the overall ordering process without requiring conventional payment hardware.
Enhancing Payment Efficiency
The implementation at Bluestone Espresso Bar optimizes payments by seamlessly integrating Nexxtap’s custom Kitchen Display System (KDS) with kitchen operations. When a customer taps to pay, the order is instantly sent to the KDS, allowing for a simultaneous payment and ticket transmission process. This setup not only expedites transactions but also reduces errors and enhances operational efficiency.
The partnership between Nexxtap and Samsung underscores how software solutions can significantly improve everyday business transactions. By offering a simplified and efficient payment experience, both companies aim to support Australian businesses in navigating the evolving financial landscape more smoothly.
Exploring Versatile Use Cases
Nexxtap and Samsung plan to explore additional applications of their technology across various sectors, including:
– Tradies and mobile workers can accept payments on-site without extra hardware.
– Pop-up stores and markets will benefit from transaction processing using existing Android devices.
– Enterprise field teams can process payments in the field with enhanced payment capabilities.
– Cafes and quick-service restaurants (QSR) can simplify front-to-back workflows by connecting ordering to payment systems.
– Retail and logistics operations can integrate payments into mobile devices used for inventory, delivery, or checkout.
– Event and venue operators will have streamlined payment flows at stadiums, festivals, or ticketing locations.
As the partnership progresses, Nexxtap intends to continue developing solutions that optimize payments and reduce operational complexities, further supporting Australian businesses in their financial management.
