If you’re using Stripe as a payment processor, in addition to providing Apple Pay as a payment method on the checkout page, customers with Apple Pay enabled can breeze past the cart and checkout form in your shop by purchasing their product directly from the product page.
This feature will remove any extra steps to purchase for customers who have their eye on that one special product. If your customers want to browse and purchase more or take advantage of a generous discount, they’ll want to proceed through the regular checkout flow.
Express checkout with Stripe and Apple Pay
Enabling Stripe in your shop also gives your customers access to Express checkout. Buyers with compatible devices and browsers can speed through checkout using payment methods they’re already familiar with, saving time and increasing conversion rates in your shop. Express Checkout currently supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Link as possible payment options, which appear at the top of the page during the checkout process.
When a buyer selects an Express Checkout option it’ll submit their pre-saved shipping, contact, and payment information, allowing them to skip the rest of the checkout page and purchase items in your shop with confidence and ease.
🚧 Requirements
To take advantage of Apple Pay, you'll need to have Stripe set up in your shop to accept payments. That's it, Apple Pay will be enabled in your Stripe account and your customers will see Apple Pay as a payment option at checkout on devices
If you want to display Apple Pay as an option on your product pages, you'll also need to be using the latest version of the theme in your shop's storefront. If you need to update your theme, no worries! We walk you through that process here.
The Apple Pay button won't display for all customers. Only customers who have Apple Pay set up on their device will see the additional checkout button on your product listings and on the checkout page. It'll look like this on the product page.
🗣A couple of things to keep in mind. We want to make Apple Pay as speedy as possible, this means there are a couple of limitations - from within the product page, only one product can be purchased and discount codes can’t be applied. If a customer heads to the checkout page, they can process payment for multiple products using Apple Pay and apply a discount code to their order.
