‌You should address your Acquiring Service Provider and apply for the mobile acquiring service (SoftPOS service) activation.‌

The application can be found at the following [link](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by.iba.tapxphone).‌

## Where is the app for the iOS operating system located? <a href="#where-is-the-app-for-the-ios-operating-system-located" id="where-is-the-app-for-the-ios-operating-system-located"></a>

For now, the application is available only for Android OS v.8.0 + (but strong recomendation to use Android 10.0 or higher, due to the fact that Google stopped supporting Android 8 and 9)
