They don’t need to get integrated on the both ends,the Buyer’s mobile as well as the merchant’s device or the card readers. No additional hardware is required in this payment process.
When the transaction is initiated then the device at the merchant will generate the sound containing the encrypted payment data. This data is received by the microphone on the buyer’s phone.
As you know,sound is a analog signal which means a continuous one. When the bill is generated at the merchant end, by entering the bill amount on his device, this algorithm converts the numbers (digital) into the analog format.

During this process, the digital signals are done with the encryption.For any accidental changes to the raw data then error detection code is used to identify them.
The Analog information is transmitted through the device of the merchant with the sound signal to the buyer’s phone for receiving the bill. The customer’s phone cannot do the reverse steps which are mentioned above and decrypt the data, so the user can get the bill which is readable.
The buyer who is doing the transactions can make his payments through the digital wallet or debit or credit card.
