Tap to Pay is needed for Authorize.net & NMI
J
Jared Vasquez-Tineo
Enable Tap to Pay on iPhone and Android in the HighLevel mobile app for merchants using Authorize.net and NMI. No extra hardware. Card-present, contactless, fast.
Who needs this:
Field sales and service teams
Retail, pop-up, events, and on-site visits
Agencies that standardize on Authorize.net or NMI
Current workaround:
External reader hardware, higher friction and cost.
Manual card entry in the app, slower and higher risk of declines.
Proposal:
Ship Tap to Pay support tied to existing Authorize.net and NMI connections. Let users accept contactless payments in the HighLevel mobile app with NFC on iPhone and Android.
MVP requirements:
Works with existing Authorize.net and NMI accounts
iPhone and Android support
Contactless credit and debit, Apple Pay, Google Pay
Sale, tip, refund, void
Digital receipts via SMS or email
Save card to vault for future invoices and subscriptions
Taxes, service charges, and location-based settings
Basic reporting in Transactions and Opportunities
Roles and permissions for staff devices
Surcharging or cash discount rules by location
Nice to have, Phase 2:
Partial authorizations and split payments
Offline queue with auto-capture when online
QR pay fallback
Admin and UX notes:
Gateway mapping by location and user
Simple flow: New charge, amount and tip, Tap to Pay, receipt, add to contact
Clear error states and retry, with audit log
Exportable payout and fee summaries
Compliance and security:
EMV contactless support
PCI scope aligned with Tap to Pay requirements
Tokenization and gateway vault
Strong device attestation and per-device enablement
Business impact:
Faster checkout, higher close rate in the field
Fewer hardware costs. Typical readers cost 60 to 200 per unit, plus replacements
Cleaner reporting, since payments stay in the same gateway and CRM
Urgency:
Contactless is now the default for many buyers. This removes a key blocker for in-person sales without forcing a gateway change.
Success metrics:
Tap to Pay adoption rate by location
Time to charge, tap-to-receipt under 30 seconds
Increase in card-present volume and tips
Reduction in reader hardware tickets and costs
