The company said that merchants can request early access<\/a> to this feature.<\/p>\n This feature enables sellers to accept payments from cards or digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay without any additional hardware. PayPal charges 2.29% + 9\u00a2 for every sale through the tap-to-pay method across Zettle and Venmo.<\/p>\n \u201cTap to Pay is the last milestone in the democratization of in-person card payments, where users can start taking card payments with no setup cost in a matter of minutes,\u201d Ed Hallett, head of product and microbusiness at PayPal, said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re unlocking access to this capability for the millions of businesses using Venmo and PayPal Zettle, helping them drive sales with frictionless payment options.\u201d<\/p>\n Additionally, the company is rolling out support for tap-to-pay on iPhone<\/a> for Venmo for Business and Zettle customers in the U.S. after announcing the feature last November.<\/p>\n While iOS is the more popular mobile operating system in the U.S.<\/a>, Android is not far behind in terms of user base. Hallett told TechCrunch over a call that the company wants to leverage Venmo\u2019s 90 million user base \u2014 the number of end-users and not businesses \u2014 in the U.S. and allow them to accept payments without the hassle of going through any complex setup.<\/p>\n Venmo currently leverages Zettle\u2019s tech for tap-to-pay on Android. The company didn\u2019t explicitly say that they are looking to merge both products, but said they see a lot of \u201csynergies\u201d between Venmo for Business and Zettle.<\/p>\n PayPal\u2019s expansion of tap-to-pay products comes months after rival Stripe announced a product enabling an equivalent feature on Android phones<\/a> in six countries \u2014 the U.S., Canada, the U.K., New Zealand, Australia and Singapore. Comparatively, Stripe charges $0.10 per transaction for using its own payment gateway for tap-to-pay transactions with additional charges for card and digital wallet payments.<\/p>\n In February, PayPal CEO Dan Shulman<\/a> said he was leaving the company. Later in March, CFO Blake Jorgensen<\/a> also stepped down after being on leave since September 2022 for health reasons<\/a>. Currently, the fintech giant\u2019s stock is the lowest it\u2019s been in the last five years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n <\/br><\/br><\/br><\/p>\n
