Apple Pay for online purchases
Digital wallets are a preferred payment method when making an online purchase.
Approximately 70% of online orders are left unfinished1, with one reason being poor payment experience.
Providing digital wallets gives your customers more flexibility to pay how they like. Accepting Apple Pay as a payment method for your business helps to retain customers throughout the checkout experience.
Use Apple Pay in Australia
Apple Pay is a simple and secure way to pay on the web.
It allows your customers to make secure purchases using a credit or debit card associated with a supported Apple device, eliminating the need to enter card details or fill out a form. Each transaction is secured with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode, and Apple Pay has no extra costs for you to accept it.
Apple Pay benefits
Fast, easy checkout

Purchases are kept private
When your customer pays with an eligible debit or credit card, Apple Pay doesn't keep transaction information that can be tied back to them
Data is more secure
Through Face ID and Touch ID and with the use of payment tokens, you don’t receive your customer’s credit or debit card numbers, so you aren’t handling sensitive data

Before you can start using Apple Pay in Australia, ensure that your bank supports this payment method. In general, Apple Pay is widely available with most major banks and financial institutions in Australia.
However, the availability of Apple Pay can vary depending on your bank and the type of account you hold. It's always a good idea to check directly with your bank or visit the official Apple website for the most up-to-date information.
Setting up Apple Pay for your business
Once you've confirmed that your bank supports Apple Pay, the integration process with SecurePay is very straightforward. Easily set up and customise your website with SecurePay and integrate with the SecurePay API (Application Programming Interface).
Once integrated, you can enable Apple Pay through your account, under the payment features tab. You will need to upload a file with domains you would like to register. You can register multiple domains at the same time. Apple will then verify your domains and validate the ownership. When Apple Pay is enabled and your domains have been verified, you will receive a confirmation email. Once verification has occurred, Apple Pay will be enabled for your business.

Security and benefits with Apple Pay
One of the primary reasons people trust Apple Pay is its robust security features:
Tokenization: Apple Pay uses tokenization, which means that your customers personal card details are never shared and protected from unwanted access. Instead, a unique token is generated for each transaction, enhancing security.
Face ID and Touch ID: Customers can authorise payments with their fingerprint (Touch ID) or facial recognition (Face ID), adding an extra layer of security.
Two-Factor Authentication: Some banks may require two-factor authentication for added security when using Apple Pay.
Privacy protection: Apple is committed to user privacy and does not store transaction information that can be tied back to anyone personally.
