Process Contactless Transactions in Activate Classic for Appetize

Description: Learn how to process a contactless payment, also known as Near Field Communication (NFC), which allows two devices to talk to each other when they're close together (Ex: Apple Pay, Android, etc.). Contactless payments are compatible with iPads using the mTab credit card readers or terminals using NFC compatible FreedomPay credit card readers.
