Frequently Asked Questions
How do BLE proximity payments work with payware?
BLE beacons broadcast an identifier signal in a defined zone. When a customer's phone picks up the signal, the payment app retrieves the payment details and shows a notification. The customer taps it, reviews the details, and approves the transaction.
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?
Yes. Customers need a payment app installed and BLE enabled on their device. When in range, a payment notification appears. The customer taps the notification, the app opens with payment details, and the customer must review and approve - it is never charged without explicit consent.
What are the main use cases for BLE payments?
BLE payments excel in fast-checkout scenarios: walk-through stores, drive-through services, parking, tolls, public transit, vending, and smart retail environments where proximity-triggered notifications speed up the payment process.
