Stripe Terminal Tap to Pay readers

Terminal’s Tap to Pay readers are compatible with the iOS, Android, and React Native SDKs.

Reader software updates

Tap to Pay readers often initiate automatic software updates upon connecting to your point of sale system. Your application needs to support these automatic updates. Failing to install critical updates can prevent a reader from processing payments, potentially disrupting your business operations.

Compliance

Stripe is committed to the security and compliance of payments processed through Tap to Pay. We have partnered directly with Apple and Google to build a solution that supports the security features of each mobile OS.

For Tap to Pay on iPhone, Apple completed an MPoC (Mobile Payments on COTS) certification as a Monolithic Solution.

For Tap to Pay on Android, Stripe is actively undergoing an MPoC evaluation, and you can see our MPoC Security Guidance.

Prior to the PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) releasing the MPoC standard, Stripe completed security assessments directly with the major payment networks. These assessments demonstrated that our Tap to Pay solutions are secure and comply with all network requirements applicable to Stripe.

Stripe is a PCI Principal Participating Organization and a member of the PCI Board of Advisors, and continues to be involved with development of the MPoC standard.
