# Tap to Pay

With Tap to Pay, you as a merchant can accept payments at the point of sale without the need for a [POS terminal](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/pos/pos-terminals-overview) device. In this case, the role of the terminal is taken over by a smartphone or tablet.

{% hint style="info" %}
Please note that Tap to Pay only works if the necessary [requirements](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/taptopay/setting-up-tap-to-pay#requirements) are met.
