# Getting started

## I want to use the application for accepting bankcards with my smartphone in my store. Where should I start? <a href="#i-want-to-use-the-application-for-accepting-bankcards-with-my-smartphone-in-my-store-where-should-i" id="i-want-to-use-the-application-for-accepting-bankcards-with-my-smartphone-in-my-store-where-should-i"></a>

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

## Where can I get an application for accepting contactless cards with a smartphone? <a href="#where-can-i-get-an-application-for-accepting-contactless-cards-with-a-smartphone" id="where-can-i-get-an-application-for-accepting-contactless-cards-with-a-smartphone"></a>

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)
