Tap to Pay lets you collect an unpaid invoice in person right from the Session iOS app. Your client can pay with a contactless card or digital wallet using your iPhone, with no additional card reader required.
Important: Tap to Pay currently only works with Stripe. You must have Stripe connected to your Session account before you can use Tap to Pay.
Set up Tap to Pay
The first time you use Tap to Pay, you’ll need to complete a one-time setup.
- Open the Session app on your iPhone.
- Open a session with an unpaid invoice.
- View the invoice.
- Under Tap to Pay, select Set up Tap to Pay.

You only need to set up Tap to Pay once.

Once Tap to Pay is set up:
- Open the Session app and view the unpaid invoice you want to collect.
- Select Tap to Pay.
- Follow the prompts on your iPhone.
- Have your client hold their contactless card or digital wallet near your iPhone.

Once the payment is complete, the invoice will automatically update in Session.
