Nexxtap Partner with Samsung to Unveil Tap to Phone Payments
The Future of Payments? Nexxtap and Samsung Are Already Doing It NOW!
In a bold move that brings Australia’s payments to the forefront, Brisbane-based payment innovator Nexxtap has announced its integration with Samsung inside a major Australian telco’s innovation hub. The partnership sees Nexxtap’s SoftPOS Tap to Phone technology deployed on Samsung Rugged tablets, transforming the payment experience with simple, embedded tap-to-pay functionality; no legacy terminals, no dongles, no hassle.
At the heart of this rollout is the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro, a Rugged, enterprise-grade device that now doubles as a powerful, portable payment terminal, thanks to Nexxtap’s softPOS technology. By combining Samsung’s advanced device hardware with Nexxtap’s military-style secure payment software, businesses can now accept payments using nothing but their phone or tablet.
No terminals. No dongles. No delays.
Visitors to the innovation hub can now order and pay for their coffee at Bluestone Espresso Bar using a card, watch, or phone, all processed through a Samsung tablet with Nexxtap’s technology embedded. The result? A live, tap-to-pay experience that blends seamlessly into real-world workflows, without a single piece of traditional payment hardware in sight.
“This is more than a demo. It’s a glimpse into how frictionless payments can reshape business operations,” says Yohan Lewis, CEO of Nexxtap. “Our software transforms smart devices into a payment powerhouse, eliminating the need for dedicated hardware. Together with Samsung, we’re collaborating to build products for the now”
Bridging Digital Payments with Real-World Convenience
For Bluestone Espresso Bar, the implementation of Nexxtap’s solution did more than streamline payments. It transformed the entire ordering experience. Nexxtap developed a custom Kitchen Display System (KDS) that integrates directly into the kitchen’s operations. When a customer taps to pay, the order is instantly pushed through to the kitchen. It’s a tap-to-ticket experience, where payment and order transmission happen in parallel, within seconds. This live integration allowed staff to focus on quality service, reduced the risk of errors, and boosted operational efficiency whilst strengthening their relationship with the major telco through a more convenient ordering experience. The collaboration between Samsung and Nexxtap brought real innovation to life, demonstrating how software solutions can enhance everyday business transactions by delivering a seamless and efficient payment experience in a real-world setting.
When Smart Software Meets Tough Tech: Nexxtap + Samsung
The rollout is powered by the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro, a Rugged, enterprise-ready device built to thrive in highdemand environments. It’s NFC capabilities, robust performance, and durable design* make it the perfect partner for Nexxtap’s software-first solution. By leveraging the Galaxy Tab Active5 Pro, Nexxtap ensures businesses can accept secure, tap-to-pay transactions in virtually any setting, whether it’s a boardroom, café, or construction site. This collaboration underscores how cutting-edge hardware and intuitive software can come together to deliver powerful, future-focused innovation.
A Software-First Revolution
Unlike traditional payment solutions that rely on legacy terminals or external devices, Nexxtap’s SoftPOS solution transforms any Android 11+ NFC-enabled device into a powerful payment processor. Built under strict PCI compliance guidelines, Nexxtap delivers military style security while offering unmatched portability. Businesses can now accept payments with ease, without the need for additional hardware.
Whether you’re a solo tradie, a bustling café, or a corporate innovation lab, Nexxtap’s model fits. With a cost-effective 1.25% flat rate, unlimited scalability, and a completely hardware-free approach, it’s the go-to solution for businesses looking for simplicity and integration.
