NFC Payments with Orain Tags: Innovation in the Shopping Experience

In the digital era, technology never ceases to surprise us with solutions that enhance the way we execute our daily transactions. One of the most remarkable advances in this field is the NFC payment technology, which has revolutionised the users shopping experience. In this article, we will delve into the details of NFC payments with Orain tags, exploring what it is, how it works and what are the main benefits and features of this technology.

What are NFC payments and How Do They Work?

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a simple, fast and secure system that enables wireless data transfer over short distances between two devices. In the context of payments, NFC Tags are used for contactless transactions and operate through radio waves, eliminating the need for physical contact between the tag and the reader.

It’s much more than a simple payment system, it’s the ideal tool for unattended environments with recurring users. For example, it offers a great advantage to businesses that want to subsidise their employees' monthly consumption in their vending machines.

NFC tags are used in multiple sectors, from access control to facilities in offices or factories, payment and top-up services in vending machines, as loyalty cards at petrol stations, wristbands or key rings for gyms members, and even providing access to all facilities, services, and payments in hotels from a single point.

Benefits of NFC Payments with Orain Tags

• Convenience: Payments with NFC Tags are really easy. You don't have to search for cash, cards or enter a PIN. You just need to bring your NFC Tag close to the reader and that's it.

• Security: Security is paramount in NFC Tag payments. Information is transmitted securely and encrypted, minimising the risk of fraud.

• Speed: Transactions with NFC Tags are quick and efficient. This reduces queuing times and streamlines the purchasing process.

• Customer loyalty: Orain NFC Payments provide an excellent way to build customer loyalty. For example, petrol stations can offer loyalty cards to their customers with discounts on purchases made using this personalised NFC card.
