Advantages Of Using Apple Pay
Let’s take a look at the advantages of using Apple Pay and why using it at Popeyes is so popular.
It’s convenient
Never has contactless payment been so popular. Using Apple Pay is easy and simple to use, and does not require customers to touch anything other than the device from which they choose to make payment.
Using this form of payment at a busy restaurant like Popeyes reduces delays whether you are completing the transaction inside or via a drive-through.
Secure
Apple Pay is extremely secure as your debit/credit card details are never stored. Instead, the app creates a new token each time you pay to stop merchants from accessing your card details. This means that it is near impossible for your card to get hacked when using this form of payment.
No fees
Apple Pay does not charge any fees when using it to pay in stores or restaurants. If you choose to upload a credit card into the app, then you will be charged the usual fees set by your provider.
Can I Use Apple Pay Through The Popeyes App?
The Popeyes app allows customers to order items from the menu for delivery, pick-up, or in-store dining. A great feature of the Popeyes app is that customers can gain rewards by simply placing an order through it (as long as your rewards account is linked to the app). The more rewards you gain, the more free food is up for grabs. We like the sound of that!
Customers can also use Apple Pay to pay for items through the app. All you have to do is link your Apple Pay to the Popeyes app and you’re good to go.
