Looking to replace faceplates and was contemplating installing Cryptopay Tap Plus only (no magnetic stripe readers).
Any comments or opinions on this would be appreciated. If the site currently has magnetic readers and switched to Tap Plus only would this cause a decrease in business? Obviously, having Both magnetic readers and Tap Plus is ideal, but faceplate size may be a limiting factor to accommodating both.

Personally, both my debit and credit cards do not have TAP. So a tap only reader is out of the question for me. that is why i chose Monex and readers at my wash that way so I can accept all cards.

You can load your non tap cards onto your phone's mobile wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc) and then tap to pay with your phone.

We went with the standard tapper and the swiper which takes up a lot of space. A couple of our vacs have really small doors so we had to get creative on tapper placement. We just reopened four weeks ago after remodel and are about 42% swipe vs 58% tap on SS bays and vacs.

It's supposed to be more secure than swiping. The card info doesn't stay on your phone. Everytime you tap, the app server system sends a one time use digital token instead of the card number.
