Frequently Asked Questions
How do BLE proximity payments work with payware?
BLE beacons detect customers' devices when they enter the payment zone. Payment is automatically initiated when the customer is in range, enabling hands-free walk-through or drive-through checkout.
What is the range for BLE payment detection?
BLE proximity payments typically work within 1-30 meters, with configurable zones for different use cases. Perfect for parking, tolls, walk-through stores, and smart environments.
Do customers need to do anything to pay with BLE?
Customers simply need to have their payment app running with BLE enabled. Payment initiation happens automatically when they're in range, with optional confirmation based on merchant settings.
What are the main use cases for BLE payments?
BLE payments excel in frictionless scenarios: walk-through checkout, drive-through services, parking, tolls, public transit, vending, and smart retail environments where hands-free payment is valuable.
