Take a card on your Android phone
Tap to Pay on Android takes a contactless card against the back of your phone — no reader, no extra hardware.
Hold the client's card flat against the back of your phone until you see the tick. The screen shows where. No reader to carry.
Set it up first with the Set up Tap to Pay button, once your card payments are live. Only the business owner can set it up.
In the appSettings → Ways to get paid → Tap to Pay on Android
Switch off "On invoices" on Ways to get paid and Tap to Pay is off too.
It needs Android 13 or newer with NFC, an unmodified phone, and Developer options off. The app tells you if yours can't do it — you can still take cash, PayID, or send a payment link.
The first time, the phone asks for your location. Say yes and choose Precise — Stripe checks where the payment happens to protect you from fraud.
Taking one
At checkout, tap Take, then Tap to Pay. It says how much you're taking and from whom, then gets the phone ready — wait for that before the card goes near it. When it's done you'll see what was charged, and you can send a receipt.
