Can I use Tap to Pay on my iPad with the HUSL app?

Why Tap to Pay is only available on iPhone—not iPad.

At this stage, Apple only supports Tap to Pay on iPhone - not on iPads.

Even though some newer iPads have NFC hardware, they don’t support the ability to receive Tap to Pay transactions.
This feature is exclusive to iPhones and allows them to act as a contactless payment terminal - no extra hardware needed.


What this means for HUSL stylists:

If you want to accept contactless payments using Tap to Pay on the HUSL app:

  1. Use an iPhone.

  2. Make sure it’s running the latest iOS.

  3. Connect your Stripe account by tapping on 'Payments' in HUSL
  4. Tap on 'Set up TaptoPay' via your HUSL app settings
    TIP: Toggle on 'Pass Fees to Customers' for automatic bank fee charge to clients bill


💡 Tip: Want to use your iPad for everything else?

You can still manage your business, place orders, and run your HUSL shop on your iPad - but just use your iPhone when it comes time to collect payment with Tap to Pay.
