Apple Pay FAQ

Here are a few commonly asked questions and their answers about using Apple Pay as a form of payment.

Since many of the above retailers’ websites and/or apps take Apple Pay, it doesn’t matter what browser I use to make purchases, right?

Actually, it does matter what browser you use when paying via Apple Pay. Safari, an Apple product, is the only browser compatible with Apple Pay.

I’m not sure about the other stores, but I know that Walmart and Kroger have their own payment services, which are Walmart Pay and Kroger Pay, respectively.

How do I locate an Apple Pay retailer in my town or city?

• Using your preferred Apple device, open Apple Maps.
• Type the name of the store you’re looking for in the Search box and touch the location. (At this point, you’ll find operating hours and Yelp reviews.)
• Next, scroll until you find “Good to Know.”
• If it has the words “Accepts Apple Pay” or the Apple Pay icon, then you’re good.

Do any financial institutions accept Apple Pay? If there are, how do I find mine?

Yes, there are many banks and credit unions around the world that support Apple Pay.

Visit the region that corresponds to your home country. (These pages don’t list every bank/credit union, so check back often to see if your financial institution might accept Apple Pay in the future.)

Read the full list of cities and countries on the Transit Support page.

I’m a business owner. What do I do to add Apple Pay as a payment option for my customers?

You only need to contact your payment provider to begin offering Apple Pay, provided your business supports debit and credit cards.

Own an app or website? Read the Apple Pay for Developers page for instructions.

What other perks does Apple Pay offer?

Apple Pay’s flagship products include Apple Card and Apple Cash.

Apple Card is a credit card that doesn’t charge any fees, plus it gives you cashback rewards on purchases you make with your Apple Watch or iPhone.

In addition, Apple Card is made from titanium, not plastic, so you don’t have to worry about breaking it.

Apple Cash is a digital card that already comes with Wallet.

This makes it easier for you to spend money at Apple Pay retailers as well as send and receive money.

Putting Everything Together

Apple Pay takes the stress out of paying for something because you can complete a transaction just by using a few taps.

Need to run a quick errand or get a bite to eat?

Simply connect your card to Wallet and go to any of the stores that accept Apple Pay to buy groceries, clothes, or anything else you want, and enjoy the convenience of contactless payments.
