How to Enable Paytm Tap to Make NFC Payments

Paytm has recently added the ‘Tap to Pay’ feature to make card payments through mobile. This feature was already introduced by Google Pay and Samsung Pay, where you can make payments using debit cards or credit cards. The ‘Tap to Pay’ feature also comes handy if you don’t have a strong internet connection. However, iPhone users will not be able to enable Paytm ‘Tap to Pay’ feature because NFC payments are locked in Apple Pay.
