- This payment method is based on the wallet principle: users must register their credit card data directly in the wallet application on their iPhone, iPad or Mac.
- To date, the vast majority of issuing banks allow credit card data to be stored in the Apple wallet.
- However, all card types are not compatible. For example, some banks do not allow Apple Pay to be used with business cards.
Apple Pay payment features
- The Apple Pay payment button is only available on Apple hardware via the Safari browser.
- 3D-Secure authentication is systematic and managed by Apple via biometric verification (TouchID or FaceID).
- Apple guarantees its users the confidentiality of their banking data, so the credit card number is not provided to the merchant or to PayPlug during the payment.
- It is not a classic credit card number that is used for payment, but what is called a "Device Pan", provided by Apple to its users. This is a credit card number created by Apple to use a given card on a given device. It is unique for each credit card and each user's Apple device (e.g. one number for the iPhone, another for the iPad).
- Refunds (total or partial) are possible.
- The funds disponibility is checked instantly.
