Compatibility Requirements for an Android Device

Your Android device must be compatible with the Tap to Pay on Android Acceptance Devices App solution in order to accept contactless payments.
These are the requirements for a compatible Android device:
  • Android 12 or later operating system. Android versions that do not receive security patches are not supported.
  • Developer options are disabled.
  • Device is not rooted. This setting prevents you from changing system-level files or settings.
  • Hardware-backed keystore.
  • Near-field communication (NFC) enabled chip.
  • Supports Google Mobile Services (GMS) and Google Play Store.
