Apple Pay
Intro
123
Apple Pay is Apple’s mobile payment product, which allows consumers an easy and secure way to pay for physical goods and services such as groceries, clothing, tickets and reservations in your iOS apps. By using Touch ID, users can quickly and securely provide their payment.
The consumer adds her/his credit or debit cards to their wallet on their iPhone and adds the payment and shipping information to the Apple Pay wallet. The payment details the consumer enters in the Apple Pay wallet are tokenized and then securely stored. If the consumer clicks the “Buy with Apple Pay” button in the app, the payment can immediately start, since the card with which the consumers wants to pay will be loaded from the Apple Pay wallet.
Our iOS SDK allows you to easily add Apple Pay to your mobile app. We will manage the decryption of the payment data for you. If you want to, you can also choose to decrypt the data yourself and send it over to us to process the payment.
Your customers can use cards from the following brands:
Key benefits
- A frictionless consumer experience using Apple’s native Touch ID
- Easy integration for developers using our iOS SDK
- A secure way of paying as the card data of the consumer is tokenized and the Device PAN (DPAN) is used to process the payment.
- Increase your conversion for in-app payments
- Huge potential in terms of usage, due to the millions of users on iOS devices.
