Indian payment aggregator Razorpay has introduced Apple Pay for international payments.

As Indian businesses expand globally, offering seamless and secure checkout experiences is crucial. With this integration, international sellers can provide global customers with a familiar payment option directly within their Razorpay checkout process.

Integration Process

The initiative aims to reduce cart abandonment rates by enhancing the trustworthiness of the payment experience through Apple’s 1-tap authentication using Face ID or Touch ID. This makes payments quicker and more secure for users.

Note that Apple Pay is widely used by iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch owners around the world, which helps in building customer recognition and confidence.

Data from global merchants indicates that enabling Apple Pay can boost conversion rates by 58%. According to Razorpay, those using their service for international payments have seen a success rate increase of 90% after integrating Apple Pay. This new feature complements existing payment methods like Visa, Mastercard, AmEx, and Diners Club.
