Public Service Announcement

ApplePayLogo“Apple Pay on websites launched on Tuesday with the release of iOS 10 for the iPhone and iPad — and will hit Mac desktops when macOS Sierra launches next Tuesday,” Matt Hamblen reports for Computerworld.

“More than 200,000 websites — including small and large retailers — plan to support Apple Pay on their sites in coming weeks, Apple said Tuesday,” Hamblen reports. “Many of the sites include online retailers using e-commerce platforms run by Shopify, Demandware and IBM.”

“The move means that online shoppers with iPhones, iPads and Macs updated with the latest operating systems can save time when finishing an online purchase through the Apple’s Safari browser,” Hamblen reports. “Retailers that have signed up for the service are expected to see an uptick in the number of customers that finish a web purchase, instead of giving up because typing in credit information was considered too complicated, awkward or time-consuming.”

“After searching out a product or service in Safari to purchase,” Hamblen reports, “Apple Pay customers need only click an Apple Pay button on a website to complete their purchase.”
