Saturday morning. Sunlight spills through the window of a busy café, where a constant flow of orders settles in amongst the clatter of cups and buzz of conversation.

Next door, a florist balances a bouquet in one palm, a mobile device in the other, taking sales as morning customers stream in.

In a nearby park, a personal trainer moves his terminal between the phones and cards of his group, trying to get the payments done before class kicks off.

This is the rhythm of modern business: dynamic, mobile, alive with opportunity.

Yet every business occasionally encounters moments that threaten to break the flow.

Often, it’s your point-of-sale (POS) system that lets you down:

  • It takes an age to wake up

  • Your connection drops out during a sale 

  • The awkward apologies as your card reader restarts… again. 

But what if your in-person payments worked in perfect harmony with your business?  What if you had a payment terminal that matches your ambition? 

That’s why we built Tap.

Tap’s tailored to your ambition

Whether you’re a solo entrepreneur, scaling a small team, or building an innovative SaaS platform, Tap fits the way you work. 

For the entrepreneur on the go: get paid on the spot, every time.

When your work takes you everywhere, the last thing you need is a payment system that can’t keep up. Having to juggle cash, wait for bank transfers, or apologise for a failed card reader will kill your professional momentum.

Tap is your all-in-one, pocket-sized system, built to move with you. 

Its solid 4G connection and all-day battery mean you’re always ready to make a sale, whether you’re in a client’s home or out at a festival. Look sharp, get paid instantly, and spend your energy on your business, not on chasing payments.

Small retail, independent shops, and café owners: payments that move at your pace

On a busy Saturday, speed and flexibility make all the difference. 

Tap is the ideal queue-busting system for retail. You can simply pick it up and take payments from customers, wherever they’re waiting. 

Its premium, compact design frees up precious counter space, while its durability means it keeps looking and performing its best, shift after shift. 

With Tap in hand, your space looks sharp and your checkout process stays clean, making every sale feel smooth and professional.

Growing teams: consistent, intuitive, and works everywhere you do

When you’re expanding, you need processes that can be adapted quickly and easily, by everyone in your team. 

That’s why we designed the Tap interface to let you add a new terminal at any time, wherever you need, keeping your service standards high and your team confident, while your customers enjoy a smooth and welcoming experience every time.

Crucially, you can also manage team member permissions, giving your staff the ability to take payments without providing access to sensitive back-end financial data, giving you control and peace of mind.

SaaS payments and platform partners

If you’re a SaaS platform or Mollie Connect partner, Tap plugs straight into your existing stack with zero hassle. 

Your users can quickly start accepting in-person payments with the same ease and reliability they expect online. No costly redevelopment, just immediate, Europe-ready capability. You get increased user stickiness and new revenue streams from embedded payments. 

Offer your users a world-class, unified payment solution, all backed by Mollie’s dependable infrastructure.
