Issue: According to the National Institutes of Health, the virus that causes COVID-19 can live on plastic like credit cards and payment terminals for up to 3 days. For this reason, many counties now mandate that merchants disinfect payment terminals, pens and styluses after each use or offer contactless payments.
‍
Challenge: Until now, contactless payment was expensive to deploy or required a new Point of Sale system. Furthermore, these so-called “contactless capable” terminals STILL encourage touching  germ-spreading buttons, dongles, and signature screens.

Breakthrough: Touchpoint.io’s Safe Distance Pay is the first zero contact payment solution that can be deployed with every Point of Sale for retail, drive thru, curbside and pickup. Stores can even send customers a 'pay link' via built-in SMS rather than take credit card information over the phone. It’s faster and more secure while allowing guests to pay for orders from home or outside of a store before arrival. Tipping is also supported across all usage scenarios.
