Which Android phones are compatible with iK Tap on Phone?

With iK Tap on Phone, you can turn your Android smartphone into a card machine to accept card payments. Most modern Android phones already support this feature - here's how to check if you can use iK Tap on Phone on your smartphone.

Is your phone compatible?

Your Android phone works with iK Tap on Phone if it has:

  • NFC (Near-Field Communication), which lets your phone read tap-to-pay cards
  • Android 9 or higher

How to check

Check for NFC:
  1. Open your phone's Settings
  2. Search "NFC" using the search bar at the top (or look under Connected devices; this may vary slightly between phone brands)
  3. If you see an NFC toggle, your phone has it
Check your Android version:
  1. Open Settings
  2. Go to About phone
  3. Check the Android version - it needs to read 9 or higher

If your phone doesn't have NFC

A small number of older Android phones don't have NFC hardware. This can't be added through a software update. If that's the case for you, you might want to look into buying an iKhokha card machine to accept card payments.
