Who Accepts Apple Pay – The Ultimate List of Stores, Apps, and Websites

Who Accepts Apple Pay – The Ultimate List of Stores, Apps, and Websites

With Apple’s latest batch of quality products, iPhones are not going extinct anytime soon. And it is safe to say that Apple Pay is here to stay too.

Apple Pay is already accepted in thousands of stores, websites, and apps as arguably the easiet means of payment for iPhone users. But there are still several stores that are yet to accept or do not have plans to accept Apple Pay.

Which begs the question, “Which businesses accept Apple Pay and which ones don’t?”

We’ll get to the answer shortly, but first, let’s understand what a business needs to have to accept Apple Pay.

The NFC-technology is pivotal to the success of Apple Pay and since the iPhone 6, all new iPhone models have had the NFC-technology built in. What this simply means is that just about any store that has a working contactless reader will accept Apple Pay as a payment option. A store that accepts Apple Pay would have the Apple Pay icon or their card readers and POS terminals would bear the universal contactless smart card reader sign.

In this article, we have put together a full list of businesses (physical locations), as well as iOS apps and websites that accept Apple Pay.
