Apple’s Tap to Pay on iPhone technology uses the built-in security and privacy features of iPhone to help protect business and customer data. Apple doesn’t store card numbers or transaction information on the device or on Apple servers, so merchants and customers can rest assured that their data stays theirs.*
Developers can use the MagTek iOS Virtual Reader SDK to integrate Tap to Pay on iPhone into their payment applications. MagTek works with developers across the restaurant, retail, hospitality, healthcare, transportation, OEM, and banking industries. The SDK is available for free on MagTek.com for developers integrated with the Magensa Payment Protection Gateway via Unigate using iPhone XS or later running the latest version of iOS.
