Apple has announced plans to introduce a new Tap to Pay feature for iPhone that turns the device into a contactless payment terminal. The company says that later this year, U.S. merchants will be able to accept Apple Pay and other contactless payments, such as credit cards and debit cards, by using an iPhone and a partner-enabled iOS app.

Tap to Pay on iPhone will be available for payment platforms and app developers to integrate into their iOS apps as a payment option for their customers. Stripe will be the first payment platform to offer Tap to Pay on iPhone to customers through a new Shopify app. Apple says additional payment platforms and apps will follow later this year.
