Cabin crew taking a contactless payment on an iPhone
Onboard · Serve

No terminal. No peripheral. Just the iPhone your crew already carry.

True Tap to Pay turns a crew iPhone into both the point of sale and the payment device - so passengers tap their card directly on the phone, online or offline.

Why it matters

Most onboard tap to pay is not tap to pay. It is contactless acceptance on a separate card terminal - one more device to charge, track, reconcile and replace, and one more thing to go wrong at 35,000 feet.

Omnevo's Tap to Pay is the real thing. The passenger taps their card, Apple Pay or Google Pay directly on the crew member's iPhone. No terminal, no peripheral, no three-in-one hardware. The same device that runs your POS takes the payment - and it keeps working when the cabin has no connectivity.

Less hardware in the galley,more revenue in the aisle

Why airlines modernising onboard payment are moving from terminals to the devices their crew already carry.

One device, end to end

Crew POS and card acceptance on the same iPhone. No docks, cases or paired terminals.

Works offline

Take payments with no connectivity and settle once the aircraft is back online.

Familiar for passengers

Tap a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay: the gesture they already use on the ground.

Bank-grade security

Apple and your acquirer handle the transaction; card data never touches the POS app.

Lighter operations

Fewer devices to charge, track and replace across rotations, and less weight on board.

Fast to adopt

Crew keep the POS app they already know. Nothing changes except the hardware you no longer need.

First to market, and built onthe POS your crew already use

Tap to Pay is an addition to Omnevo's onboard POS, not a replacement. Same app, same workflow, one less device.

Choose your payment provider

Chase is our launch provider for the US and Canada, with further acquirers in the pipeline. The airline decides.

Enable Tap to Pay on iPhone

Apple processes the transaction on the device itself. No new hardware to certify, no terminal estate to procure.

Sell online or offline

Where offline handling is supported, crew keep selling without connectivity and transactions settle on reconnection.

Reconcile in one place

Payments land in the same reporting as the rest of your onboard retail, route by route.

The Omnevo advantage

Tap to Pay is not a payments product.It is one less barrier in a connected retail ecosystem.

Removing the external payment device removes the last piece of dedicated hardware between your crew and a sale. Start with Tap to Pay on your existing POS and scale across your onboard and pre-order estate.
