PIN Entry in Education

In regions where PIN is a common part of the checkout experience, you must provide PIN entry and accessibility details in the merchant education.

Fallback Payment Method

In regions where a significant number of cards cannot be used with contactless under specific circumstances (e.g., offline PIN markets), the app must support at least one (1) accepted alternative payment method and fulfill the following requirements:

  • All merchants must have at least one (1) accepted alternative payment method to complete in-person transactions. Check with your PSP for accepted alternative payment methods.
  • Ensure the app provides a seamless transition between the Tap to Pay on iPhone UI and the merchant's accepted alternative payment method.
  • Provide details on the fallback mechanism as part of the merchant education.
