Accepting Apple Pay enables a fast, secure payment option that increases purchase completion rates by 2.6% compared to stores with card payments only.

Apple Pay works automatically with Squarespace Payments or Stripe, with no additional transaction fees. Customers using Safari on compatible devices can complete purchases without manually entering payment information.

Requirements and Limitations:

• Only works with physical products (not for digital downloads, services, or subscriptions)
• Order total must be greater than $0.00
• Customers must use Safari browser with iOS 10, macOS Sierra, or newer
• Shipping address must be saved in Apple Pay
• Limited compatibility with free shipping and local pickup options

Checkout Process:

1. Customer sees Apple Pay button during checkout
2. Clicking the button auto-fills billing information
3. Shipping fees and taxes display
4. Shipping address auto-populates
5. Customer selects shipping option (cheapest is default)
6. Transaction completes

Compatible Devices:

• iPhone SE, 6, 6 Plus and newer
• iPad Pro, Air 2, mini 3 and newer
• Apple Watch paired with compatible iPhone
• Mac with Touch ID

Managing Apple Pay:

• Check enabled status in store payment panel
• View transactions in Payments and Donations panels
• Test functionality by making a purchase (can be refunded minus transaction fee)
• Local pickup settings can be customized by including city name
• Free shipping can be configured using flat-rate options and processing profiles

Apple Pay transactions appear alongside regular credit card payments in your payment dashboard, though detailed transaction information is available through your payment processor.
