Scanner Use Case
Tap to pay at a charger? Scan the screen for a walkthrough.
Updated March 2026
The situation
The charger has a contactless payment reader and the screen shows payment instructions. But you are not sure exactly when to tap, whether to tap before or after plugging in, if there is a minimum amount, or whether the hold on your card is the final price. The screen is not explaining the sequence clearly.
How the scanner helps
Scan the payment screen and the scanner walks you through the exact sequence for this charger. Tap first, then plug in? Or plug in, then tap? Is there a pre-authorization hold? The scanner explains the payment flow step by step so you do not accidentally double-charge or fail to start.
What to do
- 1
Scan the contactless payment screen
- 2
Read the correct authorization sequence (tap first or plug first)
- 3
Note any pre-authorization hold amount the scanner identifies
- 4
Follow the sequence to start charging
