TAP Touch™
The TAP Touch provides the ultimate in mobile unattended payments and donations.
A high resolution color touch screen permits donors to choose the exact donation amount they're comfortable with, and much more.

The TAP Touch is capable of reading both contactless (tap) and contact (dip) payment cards in one small, powerful compact unit.
For network connectivity, units can be connected to smartphones via Bluetooth, or can be configured to be completely standalone and unattended using the latest LTE-M cellular technology.
Because of its small size, a TAP Touch can be used in various configurations.
For example, it can be simply handheld or used as a wearable with a neck lanyard. The included lithium-ion rechargeable battery provides approximately 3 hours of operation. Optional battery packs provide much more.
For unattended applications, a reader can also be incorporated into a counter display or free-standing poster, and operated continuously using a standard 5V wall charger.
Readers are rugged and reliable, and can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Transactions are fast, easy and secure. Just TAP and go!
A high resolution color touch screen is readable both indoors and outdoors.
A combination of images, video, text and audio can be used to provide important information to potential donors about a cause.
Messages and graphics can be updated at any time using a linked smartphone and companion mobile app, or even remotely from any authorized desktop computer.
The simple but powerful touch interface allows donors to select the exact donation amount they're comfortable with, and (optionally) select recurring donations, and/or provide contact information.
Give donors the ability to choose from a list of default donation amounts, or permit them to select the exact amount they'd like to donate using the touchscreen keypad.
The default payment type is credit and debit cards such as MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express.
However, it is also possible to use payment schemes based around QR codes (such as Alipay), as well as crypto payments including Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Some donors like (or need) receipts. With the TAP Touch, electronic receipts are available immediately. They can be sent to an email address or to a cellular telephone number via text message.
Donors can further connect with the cause by choosing to signup with an email address or cellular telephone number.
One-time and recurring donations can also be selected.
Other solutions in the market are easy targets for thieves through skimming attacks. Payment card information can be easily stolen by simply covering "the receiver" with an unauthorized one, or creating a counterfeit display.
TAP solves this problem by allowing a donor to authenticate a Touch using their smartphone before making a donation or payment.
In 2018, members of the TAP team devised, designed and developed the original version of the "world's smallest unattended [payment] device" in use today by the Salvation Army, YMCA, Make a Wish, MADD and others.
Fast forward to 2022, and the new TAP Touch significantly improves upon those older fixed sum payment devices by adding new functionality, flexibility and even security - while reducing overall system costs!
To reduce production costs and lead times, the standard counter display does NOT require expensive custom printing or construction. Instead it can incorporate any standard US Letter sized printed material, so that it can be changed or updated by the user in just minutes.
The standard counter display includes a custom battery pack and wall charger.
When counter space is limited, the small display is a great solution. It takes up very little space but can convey a great deal of dynamic information with its high resolution color screen.
It incorporates a custom battery pack and wall charger.
Just a little larger than the small counter display, the counter box includes a lockable transparent cash collection box.
It also incorporates a custom battery pack and wall charger.
When counter space is limited or when you're really trying to attract attention, the free standing floor display is a great solution.
The sturdy construction and weighted base also permit it to be used in outdoor applications.
Because of their small size and light weight, the TAP Reader and Touch can be used as wearables.
A neck lanyard with extension reel permits the holder to literally reach out towards customers and donors. A safety lanyard link is also included to prevent possible injury to the wearer.
Accessories are available including a clip to attach the shield to any collection bucket or jar, and a stand so that it can also double as a counter display. A 'selfie-stick' attachment is even available.
For extended use, a custom battery pack can be mounted to the back of each unit.
