PayGlocal announced the launch of Apple Pay on its international payment gateway on October 1st 2025, marking a significant leap forward in how Indian businesses can serve customers across the world.
For years, Indian merchants have been exporting innovation, craftsmanship, creativity, and services across borders. But the payment experience hasn’t always kept pace with the global quality of what’s being sold. High declines, limited payment options, and a lack of trust in cross-border transactions have often stood in the way of international growth.
PayGlocal has always been at the forefront of making cross-border payments easier for Indian exporters. Over the years, we’ve built products designed to boost payment success rates, offer more global payment options, reduce fraud, and build trust every step of the way.
Now, taking another step toward making international payments even more seamless, we’re excited to announce that Apple Pay is now available on our international payment gateway helping Indian exporters reach customers across the world with ease.
The launch of Apple pay on International Payment Gateway is PayGlocal’s step towards the change.
By enabling Indian merchants to accept Apple Pay for international card payments, PayGlocal has made it easier than ever for global customers to pay with trust, and for Indian businesses to deliver a checkout experience that feels truly borderless.
Why Apple Pay on International Payment Gateway matters
Apple Pay is one of the world’s most trusted and widely used digital wallets, available in over 80 countries. It brings together speed, security, and convenience, all while ensuring a seamless checkout experience across devices.
When integrated with PayGlocal’s International Payment Gateway, Apple Pay empowers Indian merchants to:
Reach high-value global customers who prefer Apple Pay for its speed and simplicity.
Reduce checkout friction with a one-tap, password-free experience.
Boost success rates through tokenized, issuer-verified transactions that minimize declines.
Build long-term trust by offering payment methods customers already rely on.
The result? A payment experience that matches global expectations, while strengthening India’s reputation as a world-class destination for cross-border commerce.
A turning point for Indian merchants going global
Cross-border commerce is no longer an edge strategy. From SaaS companies and D2C brands to travel platforms and exporters, businesses today operate in an ecosystem where customers could come from anywhere.
Yet, international card payments have historically faced challenges:
High decline ratesdue to fraud controls and inconsistent authentication.
Checkout drop-offsfrom unfamiliar payment flows.
Limited wallet acceptance,especially from premium customers who prefer local or secure digital methods.
By integrating Apple Pay, PayGlocal bridges these gaps, giving Indian merchants a powerful way to compete and convert on the global stage.
As RBI-licensed and PCI DSS-compliant, PayGlocal already enables merchants to accept and process international card payments directly on their websites and apps. Now, with Apple Pay added to the mix, those same merchants can provide a truly native, secure, and frictionless experience for every Apple Pay user worldwide.
