What changed
Adyen has launched Tap to Pay on Android, a software-based solution that allows businesses to use compatible Android devices (smartphones, tablets, kiosks, handheld devices) as payment terminals to accept contactless payments. The solution is available in the US and Singapore at launch. Oracle will incorporate this solution into its Oracle Payment Cloud Service. Oracle Payment Cloud Service is a payment processing platform that helps businesses manage transactions and financial operations.
Why a business should care
The solution reduces hardware costs, eliminates the need to visit the cash register, and enables delivery personnel to accept payments at the door. This provides a more streamlined and cost-effective payment experience for merchants and their customers.
Who it affects
US and Singapore merchants, particularly in the food and beverage, retail, and logistics industries.
What to consider doing
Merchants using Adyen in the US and Singapore should evaluate the Tap to Pay on Android solution to determine if it can reduce hardware costs and streamline their checkout processes. They should also consider integrating with Oracle Payment Cloud Service if they are in the food and beverage industry.
Uncertainty and risks
None identified. No action is required yet. A specific signal that would trigger one is if Adyen or Oracle announces expanded availability or new features for Tap to Pay on Android.
