There are provided systems and methods for measuring tap pressure on mobile devices to automate actions. A computing device, such as a mobile smart phone, may include a touch screen interface that may accept touch inputs. A touch input may include a presence and location of the touch input on the touch screen interface. Additionally, the computing device may detect a pressure or force applied to the touch screen interface with the touch input. The computing device may include a payment application, where the touch input may be received during use of the payment application. The pressure of the touch input may further define the input for the payment application. For example, a touch input with a first pressure may cause a first process to be initiated, while a second pressure may cause a second process to be initiated.
