Under this feature, users will only have to tap their phone on the PoS (Point of Sale) machine, after doing so the payment will be completed.
Credit or Debit Card Link:
Paytm’s Tap to Pay feature will work like Samsung Pay, in which users will have to link their credit or debit cards in the Paytm app. After linking the card in Paytm, when you tap your mobile phone on the PoS machine, the amount will be deducted from that linked card.
This is how Tap to Pay feature works:
The ‘Tap to Pay’ feature works on the basis of NFC (NFC- Near-Field Communication) technology and allows users to make contactless payments by tapping the smartphone on PoS machines.

If there is a large gap between the mobile phone and the PoS machine while making the payment, then there are problems in completing the payment.
