Presented in this work is a Tap-and-Pay Payment System which is based on Near Field Communication (NFC) that would substitute the traditional Point-of-Sale (POS) terminals. This device utilizes NFC technology to allow merchants to take payments with only a smartphone, eliminating costly hardware. We provide a comprehensive discussion on the system's architecture, its security properties, the implementation issues faced, and performance evaluations thereof, as well as an investigation into serving SMEs by enhancing the access of digital payments and propagating inclusive finance. Future enhancements include enriching functionalities such as multi-currency support and offline transaction capabilities. 2025 IEEE.
