How do I use accessibility services when taking card payments?

To ensure the security of your customers' card details and PIN, EFTPOS Air requires that any accessibility services are disabled during PIN entry.

If you use any accessibility services (such as a screen reader, or a password manager), then we recommend using iPhone or Android's Accessibility Shortcut feature which you can use to quickly turn accessibility on and off as needed. You can use this feature to quickly disable accessibility when PIN entry is required, and re-enable it afterwards.

Please see the in-app training, which can be accessed from More > Help Center > Tap To Pay on iPhone (for iPhone) or More > Help Center > Airpay TAP Training (for Android), for more information.

You can read more about accessibility at:

Note that the process to enable accessibility shortcuts may differ between devices.
