Making Checkout Faster with Apple Pay
What is Apple Pay?
Apple Pay is a digital wallet that lets your Squarespace customers pay faster and more securely without typing in shipping and billing details every time. It works through Safari on supported iOS and macOS devices, as long as customers have already set up Apple Pay on their device.
Setting Up Apple Pay
Here's how to enable Apple Pay on your store:
- Go to your Store payments panel on Squarespace
- Select Squarespace Payments or connect to Stripe
- Toggle the 'Accept Apple Pay' option on or off
How Customers Use Apple Pay
At checkout, customers see an Apple Pay button they can click to automatically fill in their billing and shipping details. For donations, there's no shipping address needed, so the transaction finishes with another click of the Apple Pay button. If customers want to use a different payment method, they can just choose 'More Payment Options'.
What Apple Pay Can't Do
Apple Pay won't work with free shipping discounts that only apply to certain shipping options. You also can't use it for digital downloads or subscription products.
Pixelhaze Tip: Add clear notes about shipping restrictions and which products work with Apple Pay on your product pages. This stops customers getting confused at checkout.
FAQs
