In 2021, we introduced Pay with Apple Pay in Nigeria, followed by its launch in Ghana, making Paystack the first payment gateway to support Apple Pay in these countries. Today, we’re excited to announce that Pay with Apple Pay is now available to Paystack merchants in South Africa and Côte d’Ivoire.

With Apple Pay, you can accept payments quickly and securely from millions of Apple Pay users in the 60+ countries where Apple Pay is supported, including the USA, UK, and Canada.

‍

What is Apple Pay, and why should you enable this global payment channel?

Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service by Apple. It enables frictionless payments that allow customers to authorise payments with Touch ID or Face ID, instead of manually filling out long payment forms.

By enabling Pay with Apple Pay, you automatically improve your business' reach, and enable payments via a fast, easy, and secure method that's native to millions of Apple users across the world.

How does Pay with Apple Pay work?

From your customers' point of view

In Côte d’Ivoire, customers paying with an international-issued card who have Apple Pay enabled on their Apple devices will automatically see the option to checkout using Apple Pay, and can complete the transaction using Touch ID or Face ID.

In South Africa, customers paying with either international or local-issued cards, who have Apple Pay enabled on their Apple devices, will automatically see the option to checkout using Apple Pay, and can complete the transaction using Touch ID or Face ID.
