Computop launches Computop Close-by for NFC payments

Computop offers customers local and innovative omnichannel solutions for payment processing and fraud prevention. In addition to retailers and service providers, Computop Close-by will also offer flexibility for consumers paying at EV charging stations. With the appropriate configuration in the merchant system, active NFC transmitters can integrate fixed or variable payment amounts securely encrypted in the link.

Computop Close-by is also suitable for soliciting donations. With an NFC tag the payment page is called up on the smartphone and an amount can be transmitted directly, so that only confirmation by the donor on the smartphone is necessary. According to a Computop representative, Computop Close-by is a combination of the NFC process with an ecommerce checkout to facilitate a variety of payment options.
