With WooPayments’ In-Person Payments feature, your customers can pay via tap, swipe, chip card, or mobile wallet payments, all using our mobile app and a simple card reader or a device that supports Tap to Pay on iPhone or Android.

In-Person Payments is available to qualified U.S., UK, and Canadian merchants using iPhone, iPad, or Android devices for non-subscription products. Support for subscriptions and other countries is coming soon!

NOTE: Card readers and Tap to Pay on iPhone/Android can only collect payments in the default currency for each country: USD in the U.S., CAD in Canada, and GBP in the UK.

Can I take my card reader to another country for a convention or pop-up?

No, live Terminal payments must be processed in the same country as the merchant’s account and associated reader location.

Can customers with foreign-issued cards pay on my card reader?

Yes, as long as the merchant is using the reader in the supported country for their account and charging in the supported local currency. See WooPayments: Fees for International Payments and Currency Conversion charges
