SAMSUNG PAY LAUNCH IN INDIA

Great News ,

Now you don't have to carry your wallet and don't have to add money to any wallet app.All you have to do is just wave your SAMSUNG phones.But you have to have one of these models of Samsung phones.

Samsung Pay is currently available on Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7, Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy A5 (2016), Galaxy A7 (2016), Galaxy A5 (2017) and Galaxy A7 (2017).

First, a user must  link their card or wallet to the Samsung Pay account.

For phones, the user can then make a transaction by swiping the pay service from the bottom of the screen. The screen will offer options of cards or accounts to pay from. The user selects the card and brings it close to the POS (point of sale) machine. Once the merchant has entered the amount for the transaction, the machine connects to the payment gateway and asks the user for the bank/ATM pin. Entering the PIN completes the transaction.

The idea that Samsung Pay will come to all of Samsung’s phones is further corroborated by a new report, which notes that Samsung is exploring ways to bring Samsung Pay to its nonpremium devices in order to play a bigger role in mobile payments in India. The phones supported will include the budget J series, which is popular in  country.

GEAR S3

In case of the Gear S3, the user can open the service by swiping up and then selecting the card or account to pay from. Once the selection is made, a ‘pay’ button appears on the screen. Tapping the button and bringing the device close to the POS machine will complete the transaction in the same way as in the case of a phone.

But there is a catch Samsung Pay works on NFC and in India not all the  POS machines are NFC enabled but majority of the platforms support this system.

Support for the Gear S2

Samsung announced late last year that the company’s flagship smartwatch, the Gear S2, would gain support for contactless payments. After a lengthy delay, it finally arrived in the beta program for the S2 during the summer for the Bluetooth-only model.  In October, users with the cellular model of the Gear S2 reported that they are able to use Samsung Pay as well.
