Apples online store starts accepting PayPal

Monday 15 December 2014 11:46 CET | News

Apple is now allowing Apple.com shoppers in the US and the UK to pay for goods with PayPal, thus expanding customer options beyond credit and debit cards.

Previously available as a payment option only in Apple’s app and content stores, PayPal is now accepted at the company’s online retail store as well. According to Re/Code, the initiative grants PayPal access to US` second-largest online retailer, and sees Apple promoting the PayPal Credit payments method that lets customers pay off a purchase over 18 months with no interest. The PayPal functionality is currently limited to Apple.com, as the Apple Store iOS app is not yet showing availability.

According to a recent research conducted by Affinion International, UK shoppers are less confident using mobile devices to pay for goods and services, with PayPal being the preferred method of choice.
