How to Add Apple Pay to Shopify Store? – Step-by-Step Guide

Today buyers prefer safe and convenient payment methods to complete checkouts without entering payment and shipping details frequently. Apple Pay is an excellent payment gateway that ensures quick checkouts, allowing users to make purchases through websites, apps, and stores.

In this blog, we will discuss how to add Apple Pay to Shopify and enable Apple users to complete checkout easily.

What is Apple Pay?

Apple Pay is a mobile payment service that allows Apple users to make secure payments and avail a faster checkout process. When customers use Apple Pay, they don’t need to input their shipping address or credit card details.

After clicking on the Apple Pay button and scanning their fingerprint, the payment and shipping information reaches the payment provider. Also, the users don’t need to pay additional charges to use Apple Pay apart from the normal processing fees.

Why Add Apple Pay to Your Shopify Store?

Adding Apple Pay to Shopify stores is beneficial and offers a seamless experience for both customers and Shopify merchants.

• Secure: The users scan their Face ID and Touch ID to complete the transactions through Apple Pay which makes payments secure. Since the customers don’t enter their credit or debit card details, they don’t need to have confidential information on their phones.
• Order Tracking: The customers get receipts and order tracking information (updates and changes) in their wallets for Apple Pay transactions in real time.
