Apple Pay

“An easier way to pay within apps and websites”

Apple Pay provides an easy and secure way to make payments in your iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS apps, and on websites in Safari. And now, Apple Pay can also be used in Messages for Business and in iMessage extensions.

Checkout is just a tap away using Face ID, Touch ID, or double-clicking Apple Watch, users can quickly and securely provide their payment, shipping, and contact information to check out. Customers love the simplicity of Apple Pay, and you’ll love the increased conversion rates and new user adoption that come with it.

Key Features

• Express Checkout

  Customers can complete their purchase from a product page with a single tap, without the need to add to a cart or fill out a form.

• Data is More Secure

  Accepting Apple Pay offers enhanced security compared to traditional cards. Transactions require Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode (Apple Watch requires passcode entry upon being removed from the wrist). Importantly, merchants do not receive customers' actual card numbers, reducing the handling of sensitive data.

Compatibility Overview

Apple Pay – Web Checkout Journey

1. Presenting Apple Pay

The user selects Apple Pay as the payment method on your web checkout page. The system automatically checks if the user’s device and browser support Apple Pay (e.g., Safari on iPhone or Mac). If unsupported (e.g., Android or Windows), Apple Pay is not displayed.

2. User Validation

Once Apple Pay is selected and supported, the Apple Pay sheet is triggered. It displays pre-filled payment, shipping, and contact details from the user's Apple Wallet for user confirmation.
