Apple Pay is a great way to optimize your website for a seamless online shopping experience for your customers. When you add Apple Pay, customers don’t have to enter in their credit card and shipping information to make a purchase. They simply tap the Apple Pay button and it scans their fingerprint, which then activates a prompt that will provide the necessary information to the payment gate.
We’re all about it. Here’s why:
-
Simpler payments – one touch activates the default payment method, which is easily overridden with a swipe
-
Secure and low risk – “device account number” is used instead of a credit card number
-
Private – no shopper tracking
-
No extra fees for retailers – only a portion of existing credit card transaction fees
You can use the Apple Pay button for your e-commerce site if:
-
You are using:
-

-
Stripe
-
FirstData Payeezy
-
Authorize.net
-

-
You have SSL activated on your store domain
-

-

How to Activate Apple Pay on your e-commerce site:
-
Click Settings from your Shopify admin, then Payments.
-

Next time your customer visits your e-commerce site (if they have Safari on iOS or macOS Sierra), they will see this on your checkout page:
Once they click the button, they’ll go through the prompts until they are asked to use their fingerprint to authenticate.
That’s it! Enjoy!
