About payment system
Apple Pay, developed by Apple Inc., has revolutionized how users pay in stores, within iOS apps, and on the web. Available on iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro, it digitizes credit and debit cards, replacing traditional chip-and-PIN transactions at any contactless-enabled terminal—no special hardware required.
For users, Apple Pay delivers a secure and convenient payment experience. Transactions are authenticated using Touch ID, Face ID, Optic ID, a passcode, or a PIN—ensuring two-factor verification. With NFC technology and an embedded secure element (eSE), sensitive payment information is encrypted and protected. This eliminates the need to manually enter card details or fill out forms during checkout, whether in-store, online, or in-app.
Businesses benefit by offering Apple Pay as a payment method, providing customers with a fast, simple, and secure checkout. With over 500 million users globally, it can increase conversion and customer trust. In Europe, Apple Pay complies with PSD2 SCA regulations, supporting real-time authentication and reducing fraud and chargebacks. Notably, transactions can be completed without an internet connection on the shopper’s device.
When a customer chooses Apple Pay, a payment sheet appears allowing them to select a card and enter contact or shipping details. Authentication via Face ID or Touch ID finalizes the transaction, offering a seamless and secure checkout experience.
