Tap to pay is the sorcery of payments—minus the wand. Here’s how it works: Your phone, thanks to its NFC (Near Field Communication) magic, becomes a card reader. When someone taps their contactless card (or phone with a digital wallet) near your device, the NFC tech securely exchanges payment info. JIM picks up that signal, processes the transaction in seconds, and—abracadabra—you’re paid. No cables, no card readers, no nonsense. Just tap, beep, done.
