Get started

From this page to
your first tap.

You sign up with TapProof. A licensed banking or payment-aggregator partner onboards you and holds your acceptance contract. Your phones become card machines. Here is exactly who does what.

Start the conversation

The journey

Four steps, two parties, no brokers

The middle step is the one nobody else does for you. Getting a merchant file in front of the right acquirer, complete and in the right shape, is normally weeks of back-and-forth.

Step 1 of 4 · You

Tell us about the business

Two minutes. Business name, category, where your people work, and how many phones you need to turn into terminals.

No documents at this stage. Nothing is submitted anywhere yet.

Day one

The rollout is a morning, not a project

Install, enrol each handset, take a test payment. Most teams are live before lunch on the day their acquiring partner says yes.

What you will need

Have these ready and it moves fast

Your acquiring partner sets the final list — this is what is asked for nearly every time.

Business identity
Registration certificate or partnership deed, PAN, and GST registration where you hold one.
Always
Bank account
A current account in the business name. Settlement lands here, from your acquiring partner.
Always
Signatory KYC
Officially valid documents for the authorised signatory, verified through CKYCR.
Always
Business proof
Photographs of the premises, or evidence of the field operation for businesses with no fixed counter.
Usually
Category and volume
What you sell and roughly how much you expect to process. This determines which acquirer suits you and the merchant category code you are onboarded under.
Shapes your rate
Devices
How many Android 10+ handsets with NFC your people carry. We qualify the models before you commit.
Ours to check

No new journey

Nothing changes about where your people work

They go where they already go, carrying the phone they already carry. The only difference is that they can now take a card when they get there.

That is the whole reason this deploys in days. There is no hardware to distribute, no route to redesign, and nothing for anyone to remember to bring.

Wherever your people already go

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks first

Q

Who actually holds my contract?

A licensed bank or payment aggregator — not TapProof. We are a technology provider and deliberately hold no acceptance contract and no RBI authorisation of our own.
Q

Where does my money go?

From your acquiring partner directly into your current account. No TapProof account sits in the flow, so there is nothing of yours for us to hold, delay or net a fee from.
Q

Do I need to buy anything?

No. Any Android 10+ phone with NFC that your people already carry. We publish a qualified handset list because cheap antennas read fine in a lab and fail at a doorstep.
Q

How long does it take?

Days rather than months, assuming your documents are in order. The delay is almost always an incomplete file, which is precisely what step two exists to prevent.
Q

Can I use my own app?

Yes. The Android SDK drops into an app you already ship, and your people never log in twice. Or use the standalone TapProof app if you have no app of your own.
Q

What if I already have a gateway?

Good — tell us which. If they are one of our acquiring partners you may be able to keep the relationship and simply add acceptance on the phones.

Day two

Then it is just how you get paid

No new routine, no device to remember, nothing to plug in at the end of a shift.

Tell us what your people do all day

That single answer decides the acquirer, the category code and the shape of the rollout. It is a short first email.
