Smartphones are quickly becoming a popular payment method for users, but Samsung Pay Touch aims to take things even further by transforming the wireless device into a point of sale (POS) system.
The app works by harnessing the power of the near-field communication (NFC) chip that's built-in to the device and allowing users to receive payments by simply tapping a credit card or debit card. This functionality doesn't require additional hardware to be achieved, which will come as welcome news to those who sell products or services outside of a physical storefront.
Samsung Pay Touch limits transaction amounts to $100 and charges 2.6% for credit cards and $0.10 for debit cards, and is compatible for use with Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Note models from 2017 and up.
