Apple Pay stores: where is the payment service accepted?

Apple Pay enables cashless and cardless payments both in online retail and in stores. All you need to do is set up the payment service on your iPhone. However, many users do not know in which stores they can pay with Apple Pay.

What you should look out for when paying with Apple Pay in stores

In addition to online payments online and use on public transport in some countries, Apple Pay is primarily used in Germany to pay in stores. Look for these symbols when paying with Apple Pay:

• Apple Pay symbol: Consisting of the brand logo and the word "Pay," this icon signals that you can pay at this store using Apple Pay on your iPhone.
• Card Payment Icon: Paying with Apple Pay in a store is also possible if you only see the classic contactless card payment icon. This consists of radio waves and a hand holding a card.
