How to find stores that accept Apple Pay
As you can see, a wide variety of offline and online stores accept Apple Pay. However, things might differ for your country and region. You should look for Apple Pay and the contactless payments icon.
If a brick-and-mortar store, website, or app sports these icons, it should accept Apple Pay. You can also find an Apple Pay-supporting store on Apple Maps.
Here’s how:
- Open Maps on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
- Search for a particular venue either by using the Search Maps bar or scrolling to its location.
- After spotting the destination, tap its name.
This will show you some information and commands like Directions, Call, Website, Address, etc. - Under the Good to Know section, look for the Apple Pay symbol.
Note: If you’re on Mac, the Apple Pay symbol is under the same section, but it’s titled Useful to Know instead.
To locate stores that accept Apple Pay using your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, follow these steps.
