July 9, 2023How to use tap to pay with my phone?
If tap to pay is accepted, it’s highly likely they’ll accept your Google Pay. Most places have a little sticker for Apple Pay, Google Pay, and then Visa, MasterCard, etc. It works the same as with a physical credit card! Just hold your phone over/tap it onto the card machine. I like to open up the wallet on my phone first before tapping, but I think the devices are actually smart enough that you don’t need to do that. You will possibly need to put in your passcode/authenticate yourself before the payment goes through, so just be ready for that. More on reddit.com

February 4, 2023ELI5: How does contactless payment with your phone work?
It uses a standard called Near Field Communication (NFC). Your phone has a chip that can send out electromagnetic fields, that the reader can interpret. Your phone stores the credit card information, and then sends out the relevant data when necessary. The reader will then process the payment like normal. Your credit cards that you use tap to pay leverage the exact same tech, it's one and the same. More on reddit.com

Wow a lot of people here don’t use the CTA. Any contactless form of payment works. Tap to pay credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc. And of course, your Ventra Card. If you use your own card or Apple Pay or whatever, you will see a hold on your card greater than the fare but it will be credited back to you shortly. It’s still the same fare. The benefit to the Ventra Card is that transfers are cheaper as it tracks your rides, I believe, whereas your credit card will just charge a full fare each time. But if you are going somewhere that only requires 1 train or bus ride, there is no difference or benefit to using the Ventra Card.

October 17, 2025 - Cashiers recognize the wallet tap animation—a subtle glow or checkmark on the customer's phone—and wait for the terminal beep before handing over the bag. This prevents "Did it work?" confusion. You have three paths to accept tap to pay: upgrade to an NFC-enabled terminal ($200–$600), turn your iPhone into a payment terminal with Tap to Pay on iPhone (no extra hardware), or use an external NFC card reader ($50–$300) with your existing device.

CTA lets Android users tap and pay for transit fares in Chicago • NFCW
September 25, 2024 - Passengers on public transportation services in Chicago in the US can now use an Android NFC smartphone to make tap-and-go fare payments by uploading the Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) virtual Ventra transit card to Google Pay. Once they have added a new Ventra card or transferred an existing one to Google Pay, users can pay for their journeys by tapping readers at CTA railway stations and on CTA and Pace suburban buses. “After adding their card to Google Pay, there is no need for riders to unlock their phone; they can simply ‘wake up’ their phone to tap and go with a Ventra card in Google Pay,” the CTA says.
