How do I set up Tap to Pay on iPhone for my business profile?
1. To get started, open the Venmo app then tap Charge. Tap Tap to Pay on iPhone, then read through the info on the next page and tap Set up Tap to Pay to continue.
- Note: All businesses are required to complete identity verification before using Tap to Pay on iPhone. Learn more about identity verification for business profiles.
- Registered businesses who haven’t yet completed Beneficial Owner verification will also be required to do so before getting started with Tap to Pay. Learn more about Beneficial Owner verification.
2. Next, we’ll ask for some personal info like your date of birth and SSN or ITIN (if you haven’t already provided this info in association with your business). We’re required to do an identity check before providing access to this feature, but your Tap to Pay on iPhone sign-up does not include a credit check.
- We may ask for some supporting documents to help verify your info. If this happens, please allow a few days for our team to review your info. We’ll let you know once we’ve completed our review.
3. To complete verification of your identity, you will also be asked to scan your photo ID and face before continuing.
- If you’d like to finish verifying your identity another way (without providing a face scan), you can tap visit the FAQ page to access a popup page with a link to our document upload form. From there, you’ll be prompted to submit a passport or permanent residence card, then another eligible form of ID.
4. Once your info is verified, make sure that we have the correct address on file for your Tap to Pay on iPhone receipts. By default, we’ll use the same public contact information you provided when creating your business profile. If needed, you can update this address later under your business profile settings. Tap Confirm or Skip to proceed.
5. You’re almost there! Review the Terms and Conditions for Tap to Pay on iPhone and connect your Apple ID (or use a different one). You will also need to enable a passcode on your device for security purposes.
