Card in hand. No terminal.
78%
Tourists want to pay by card.
Their cash runs out, you can't take cards, and they walk out.
Card machines are a hassle.
Rent a machine, file paperwork, then wait for approval.
Sales slip away quietly.
Every “sorry, cash only” can cost you a big ticket.
Three simple steps
No card machine. Your shop's Android phone does the job: the customer taps, and you see the status straight away.
Type the amount
Enter the amount in the app on your shop's phone.
The customer taps
A contactless credit or debit card, tapped on the back of your phone.
Money goes to your bank
Straight from the payment provider. It never passes through us.
Made for shops with lots of foreign customers
Bills in the thousands of baht, from customers who'd rather pay by card than cash.

Clear status for every payment
See instantly that you've been paid and when it reaches your bank. No guessing.
Thai & English receipts
Send tourists an English receipt in one tap.
Where your money goes
SabaiTap never holds your money. It's designed so funds move from a licensed payment provider straight to your shop's bank account.
- Customer's card
- Payment providerlicensed by the Bank of Thailand
- Your shop's bank account
We never store card data
Card data is handled by the payment provider and never touches our servers.
Built to prevent double charges
If the connection drops mid-payment, the app always checks the payment status first.
Every payment on record
Each payment has a clear status you can look back on.
SabaiTap makes the app. We are not a bank or a payment provider.

FAQ
Does it work on iPhone?
Android phones with NFC first. iPhone when it becomes available in Thailand. To check for NFC: Settings → search “NFC”.
How is this different from a PromptPay QR?
Most tourists don't have PromptPay, but they do carry contactless cards. SabaiTap lets you accept those cards on the phone you already own.
What are the fees?
We'll announce clear pricing before the pilot starts. Join the waitlist to hear first.
When do I get paid?
Money goes from the payment provider straight to your bank account. We'll confirm the timing when you sign up.
Do I need a registered company?
Pilot eligibility will be confirmed soon. Sole traders and companies can both join the waitlist. Shops are verified through the payment provider's own process.
Can I accept Alipay or WeChat Pay?
The pilot starts with contactless cards.
What happens to my sign-up details?
We use them only to contact you about the pilot. We don't sell or share them. See the privacy notice for details.
When does it launch?
We're preparing a pilot with shops in Bangkok. Join the waitlist and we'll be in touch.
