Apple paid to developers

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. By 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.

Checkout is simpler.

Accepting Apple Pay is faster than accepting traditional credit and debit cards and other payment methods. Customers no longer need to spend time searching for their wallet or finding the right card. Within apps or websites your customers can check out with a single touch.

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.

Defaulting

Make checkout simple and fast by using Apple Pay as the default payment method. With Apple Pay as the default and prominent option, you can reduce cart abandonment and customer frustration, and increase conversion.

Inline setup

Users who have not yet provided a card can do so and pay immediately without leaving your app or website. Detect if customers are using an Apple Pay-capable device and offer to set up Apple Pay within the checkout process.
