Fortis, a leader in embedded payments and commerce technology, announced support for Apple's Tap to Pay on iPhone technology, allowing software providers to enable their business customers to seamlessly and securely accept in-person contactless payments through their iOS apps using only an iPhone, with no additional hardware required.

With Tap to Pay on iPhone, software providers can enable businesses to accept all forms of contactless payments in person — including credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other digital wallets — using an iPhone XS or later, running the latest version of iOS. This eliminates the need for traditional card readers, offering a streamlined solution for mobile-first businesses.

"Tap to Pay on iPhone is a major milestone in the evolution of commerce, eliminating hardware barriers and enabling businesses to accept payments anywhere with ease," said Greg Cohen, CEO of Fortis. "By bringing this capability to our partners, we're empowering software platforms to stay at the forefront of innovation—delivering best-in-class technology and seamless payment experiences to their customers."
