Apple Pay for International Payments: Now Available on PayGlocal
As businesses expand beyond domestic markets, customer expectations around online payments continue to evolve. International shoppers today expect checkout experiences that are fast, secure, and familiar, regardless of where they're purchasing from. While Indian businesses have successfully reached customers across the globe, cross-border payments have often remained a point of friction due to lengthy checkout processes, limited payment options, and higher transaction declines.
At PayGlocal, we've always focused on making international payments simpler for Indian businesses. From supporting multiple payment methods to improving authorization rates and strengthening fraud prevention, our goal has been to help merchants deliver seamless global payment experiences.
Taking another step toward that vision, we're excited to announce that Apple Pay is now available on PayGlocal's International Payment Gateway. Businesses can now offer international customers one of the world's most trusted digital wallets, making cross-border payments faster, safer, and more convenient than ever before.
Why Apple Pay Matters for International Payments
Apple Pay has become one of the world's most widely used digital wallets, trusted by millions of users across more than 80 countries and regions. Instead of manually entering card details during checkout, customers can securely complete purchases using Face ID, Touch ID, or their device passcode.
For international businesses, this creates a smoother checkout experience that customers already know and trust. Apple Pay uses tokenization, replacing sensitive card details with encrypted device-specific tokens, ensuring transactions remain secure without exposing actual card information.
As digital wallets continue to gain popularity, offering familiar payment methods has become increasingly important. Customers are more likely to complete purchases when they recognize the payment option available at checkout, helping businesses reduce friction while improving customer confidence.
