Common questions

Do I need to add a webhook in Tap?

No. The webhook is sent automatically with each charge.

Can I use Tap Payments together with another gateway?

No. Only one online gateway can be active at a time. To switch, remove the current gateway from Store › Payment settings and connect the new one. See the payment gateways overview.
