Tap the client's card on your own phone
ServiceM8 publishes Tap to Pay on iPhone in their app (servicem8.com/tap-to-pay-on-iphone). NexHub has no Tap to Pay and no card terminal: taking a card on the phone itself needs a native app, and NexHub runs in the browser. NexHub sends the client a payment link or QR that they pay on their own phone instead. If tapping the card matters to you, ServiceM8 wins this outright.
