Overview:
Once your Android device is registered, accepting Tap to Pay payments is fast and easy using your Pebl app.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Open your Pebl app.
Tap New payment.
Enter the transaction amount, or select from your product list.
Select Tap to Pay on Android.
Ask the customer to hold their contactless card, smartphone, or smartwatch near the NFC reader of your Android. NFC positioning varies across devices — 👉 find where the NFC reader is on your device.
Wait for the confirmation screen and transaction approval.
💡 Pro Tip
Make sure you wait for Pebl's pop-up clearly outlining whether the payment was successful or not.
The Tap to Pay on Android screens show when the tap was successful, not when the payment has processed. Pebl processes the payment after a successful tap.
This is similar to an EFTPOS terminal: you hear a beep when the tap is successful, then it takes 1–2 seconds to process before showing a success or fail message.
FAQs and Troubleshooting Tips:
How do I know if my Android phone has NFC?
Check the list here: 👉 Check NFC-compatible devices. Most modern Android phones support NFC, but it's good to double-check before you start.
Where is the best place for my customer to tap?
Usually near the back, upper-middle of your phone. If the first tap doesn't register, adjust slightly higher or lower.
What if tapping doesn't work?
Ask them to hold their card or device steady for a few seconds.
Move it slightly up or down across the back of your phone.
Ensure NFC is turned on in your Android settings.
If it still doesn't work, generate a QR code in your Pebl app to let them pay by scanning instead — no tap needed.
