Apple Pay enables secure, swift payments for your customers without manual data entry. Studies show a 2.6% higher order completion rate for stores accepting Apple Pay compared to card-only payments.

Apple Pay works automatically with Squarespace Payments or Stripe integration, with no extra transaction fees. It's available for physical products only, with orders above €0.00, and requires Safari browser on supported devices.

To verify Apple Pay status:
