Activation checklist
What must be in place before the first tap.
Tap to Pay is a native iPhone capability. A browser page cannot switch on the NFC payment interface or replace provider onboarding.
- An eligible iPhone running a currently supported iOS version in a supported region
- An Ardenti Pay native iOS companion app approved for Apple’s Tap to Pay entitlement
- A production Square application, seller OAuth authorization and selected Square location
- Network access, merchant identity verification and any Square account eligibility requirements
Location-aware
Every session is tied to the correct Square seller and location before collection.
Card data stays out
Ardenti Pay receives provider references and permitted card descriptors—not a full card number or security code.
Receipts and refunds
The seller remains responsible for accurate amounts, taxes, customer receipts, return policy, refunds, and required disclosures.
Payment and platform boundary
The Square seller remains the merchant of record. Square provides payment authorization, processing, settlement, dispute handling, and the approved payment SDK. Apple provides the device-level Tap to Pay on iPhone technology. Ardenti Pay provides the seller experience and normalized operational record; it does not hold funds or independently authorize a card transaction.
Availability depends on Apple, Square, device, account, region, and network requirements. Apple, Apple Pay, iPhone, and Tap to Pay on iPhone are trademarks of Apple Inc.
