Tapaya builds a software layer that consolidates compliance, certification, and processor integrations to enable in-person payment acceptance on Android, iOS, and other commercial devices. Founded in 2025 by Laura Ďorďová, Roman Kuchařík, and Petr Zahradník and based in Prague, the company aims to turn standard hardware into payment terminals and shorten integration timelines from months to days. Tapaya is already working on integrations in the Czech Republic and is expanding partnerships across Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltics. The startup is preparing to complete PCI MPoC certification as part of its product roadmap. Financially, Tapaya recently closed a €1M pre-seed round led by Passion Capital with Depo Ventures co-leading and follow-on capital from BADideas.fund.
