Hi there 👋 I'd like to make sure I'm understanding the question correctly first.
Are you asking if it's possible to create an Android application, that uses Stripe for payments, which can be tapped on POS terminals and essentially act like a mobile wallet?

Yes

I'm not sure if that is possible technically or allowed by our policies. I believe the biggest technical challenge is not something that we could assist with, as you would need to figure out what spec mobile wallets use and then determine whether that spec is something that is open to be used by anyone.
If you can cross that hurdle, our Support team would be better suited to help answer whether doing this would violate any of our terms.

at least as I understand it, something that could pay a generic POS means going over credit card rails
you'd need to have a credit card to use for the payment; either belonging to your user (which I assume is not what you have in mind, because google wallet already dominates that niche), or issued by you (eg: via stripe issuing). you could, in concept, use the google wallet API to add a stripe issued card, so the user could pay with their phone. bear in mind, though, that stripe's issuing program is for commercial cards, not consumer issuing, so Stripe likely could not support this for consumer payments
