Apple Pay Finally Slides Into PayPal: Small‑Biz Gets a New Payment BFF
What Just Happened?
PayPal’s latest upgrade drops a shiny new checkout option: Apple Pay on Advanced Checkout. That’s right—now you can tap your Apple device to pay for your online order, just like a super‑smooth ninja move.
The Big Picture
- SMB‑centric move: The rollout is part of PayPal’s ongoing “complete payments solution” plan aimed at small and medium businesses (SMBs).
- All the usual suspects: Pay Later, Venmo, traditional card payments were already on board; Apple Pay has now joined the party.
- Why it matters: More payment options = more sales opportunities. Customers love convenience, and Apple Pay gives them that click‑and‑go feeling.
How It Works (Without the Techy Jargon)
Think of Apple Pay as a secret menu item that only the most tech‑savvy diners get to order. When a customer’s checkout page shows the Apple Pay button, they simply trust their device to complete the transaction—no passwords needed.
Benefits for the Business Owner
- Speedy sales: Faster checkouts mean happy customers and fewer abandoned carts.
- Security boost: Apple Pay uses tokenization, giving you peace of mind that card data is kept safe.
- Marketing edge: Offering the newest payment tech signals that you’re up‑to‑date and customer‑friendly.

Integrating Apple Pay into your PayPal Advanced Checkout is a breeze—and it’s free. Just head to your Payment Settings, enable the option, and you’re good to go. Your customers will thank you, and your bottom line will likely thank you back, too.
Bottom line: more options, more sales, less hassle. Apple Pay on PayPal is yours to enjoy.
