Zebra Technologies has teamed up with Worldline and validated the Tap-on-Mobile Softpos application in an exciting development for the Worldline partnership ecosystem. Zebra Technologies is a global leader in enterprise asset intelligence, providing handheld devices for various business verticals. The new global strategic partnership is set to unlock the benefits of the latest developments in mobile payment technology while taking contactless payments to the next level with Worldline Tap on Mobile.

A solution for the future of contactless payments.

In a payments landscape where contactless is increasingly becoming the preferred option (the global contactless payment terminals market is expected to almost quadruple from 2021 figures to $51 billion by 2026), the demand for merchants to provide convenient contactless options to consumers for an array of transactions is greater than ever.

Providers of Android handheld devices set their sights on upgrading millions of existing COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf) devices across Europe. As part of their mission to enhance existing mPOS offerings with contactless payment on COTS devices, they partner with Worldline.

The new Worldline Tap on Mobile solution, which enables merchants to accept card payments without buying a separate card reader, is now available to all Zebra distributors and integrators. Worldline Tap on Mobile supports Zebra in its ambition to work with its global community of over 10,000 partners to equip merchants with validated applications and solutions across multiple business sectors (including retail, transport, hospitality and government).

The Worldline Tap on Mobile solution is compatible with Android (8+) devices with NFC (Near Field Communication), making it a powerful tool to upgrade a wide range of existing devices with the capability to accept contactless payments with or without a PIN.

The new partnership between Worldline and Zebra is set to deliver key benefits that will boost growth for the integrators and partners of Zebra and their merchants by delivering increased conversions, convenience and cost-savings.

  • Innovation: Worldline Tap on Mobile enables retailers and merchants to innovate check-out and the entire consumer journey without costly extra hardware investment.
  • Consolidation: payment API connectivity offers Zebra distributors and integrators a single solution across Europe and verticals.

Our world-class combo of enterprise HW and Android OS, offers the ideal Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platform for merchants to speed up checkouts, increase satisfaction, and ultimately, increase revenue, based on Worldline Tap on Mobile”
