Company profile
researched Aug 2026Two Tap describes itself as an e-commerce gateway that removes friction from the multi-channel path to purchase. Its platform lets shoppers order products from retailers directly inside apps and across devices and operating systems without completing a retailer's full checkout flow, and offers publishers and mobile app developers a single API with a stated guarantee never to lose an order [0]. The platform includes a set of intelligence tools and, according to the company's crowdfunding profile, made more than 300 million products available and allowed consumers to check product availability before purchase [0][2].
Operationally, Two Tap integrated into mobile apps so that a user browsing a product-focused app could enter shipping and billing details without leaving the app; Two Tap then completed checkout with the merchant on the user's behalf, and the shopper received the same confirmation email the retailer would normally send. Returning users were identified by phone number, confirming purchases with an SMS code plus their card's CVV [2]. The company positioned itself against approaches such as Google Wallet that required deep merchant-side integration, noting that Two Tap worked with a store's existing payment processor and sat on top of the existing technology stack, requiring no retailer integration work [2].
A third-party business database lists the company under NAICS 5112 (Software Publishers) in the Software Development industry, with a San Francisco address at 845 Market Street, Suite 450, and an estimated headcount of 2-10 as of mid-2026, indicating limited ongoing independent activity following the acquisition [3].
