Take contactless card payments on your Android phone

One of the most attractive and competitive offerings myPOS provides is instant settlement of funds. This means that as a myPOS merchant, your funds will be available seconds after the transaction.

While myPOS Glass currently works with Visa and Mastercard for NFC contactless cards, you can still accept payments through your phone via the QR code functionality. With the QR code payments, other than the usual Visa and Mastercard, you can accept AMEX, Union Pay, Bancontact, JCB payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

A QR code is easy to generate as you simply need to type in the required amount, tap the QR code function on your phone, and once generated, the code can be scanned by your client. They will then be taken to a secure page in order to complete the transaction. Once this is done, your payment will be settled in your free merchant account instantly.

Yes, you can with our new QR code payments. Simply enter the sum and generate a QR code - from there, your customer needs to scan the code from your phone. He’ll be taken to a secure online payments page where they need to enter their card details and complete the payment. Once complete, the money will be instantly settled in your account and visible in the myPOS Glass app.

To resolve this issue, try to locate the Near Field Communication (NFC) chip on the back of your phone and hold the card against this chip until you see and hear a signal that the payment has been successful. Also make sure that the card is contactless as only contactless cards can be accepted through your smartphone. An alternative would be to accept the payment via the QR code payment.

To accept online payments, simply generate a Payment Request from the “more” menu and send the link via email, chat or SMS. Your customer will be then be taken to a secure payments page to complete the payment, making it easier than ever for you to accept even remote payments smoothly and securely.

For standard Payment Requests, which can be sent to your clients via chat, email or SMS, you can check the status of the payment in your myPOS account or in your myPOS Glass app under the “More - Payment Requests” menu. There are different statuses of Payment Requests, namely seen, pending, paid, cancelled, etc. For QR codes which you’ve generated via your myPOS Glass app, you will be able to see the payment right away on your phone and account as these payments are done with the client on your side. The payments will be visible under the “Activity” tab and in the Payment Requests menu.

As a registered and licensed institution, we have the responsibility to ensure that we follow the correct onboarding procedures for new merchants. When signing up for the myPOS Glass app and in order for it to work properly, the app will ask you to enable access to three sets of data from your Android smartphone:

• Photos, media & files: such data is required for accurate account identification and verification, especially if you do not have an account with myPOS yet.
• Make & manage phone calls: this information is needed for proper account identification. In some cases, this will be necessary to initiate the process of online identification, especially in case where you do not have an account with myPOS yet.
• Device location: this is used for the correct processing of payments. The myPOS service is bound and licensed within the EEA, and it is our responsibility to ensure that your device and scope of business operations fall within the borders of the EEA.
