📱 Accepting Apple Pay & Google Pay with Adyen
Apple Pay and Google Pay are popular digital wallets that offer fast, secure, and convenient ways for customers to pay. With Adyen, both payment methods are supported across in-person (NFC) and online (e-commerce/in-app) channels—but setup requirements vary.
🚶♂️ In-Person Payments (NFC)
Apple Pay and Google Pay are automatically accepted for in-person transactions through NFC-enabled Adyen terminals. No additional configuration is needed.
Key Notes:
• Works with contactless terminals out of the box.
• Supported on all compatible card networks (Visa, Mastercard, etc.).
• Treated like standard contactless card payments in reporting and reconciliation.
