South Africa’s SME and payments landscape is getting a meaningful new entrant as iStore launches iStore Pay, its new business payment solution designed for entrepreneurs, SMEs and modern businesses.
The launch also brings Tap to Pay on iPhone to South African businesses through iStore Pay, allowing merchants to accept contactless payments, including debit and credit cards Apple Pay and other digital wallets using only an iPhone and the iStore Pay app, with no additional payment terminal required.
We are sharing this for your editorial consideration. It speaks directly to the rise of mobile-first commerce, the need for more accessible SME payment tools, and the growing demand for secure, flexible and lower-friction ways for businesses to transact.
