How does paying with a phone tap work?

Enable tap to pay on the mobile device. Enter bank and card information. Once the terminal prompts the customer to pay, they can wave or hold their phone one to two inches from the contactless symbol. The NFC-enabled POS terminal will indicate when the payment is complete with a light, checkmark, or sound.
