OH! Stripe is the company that keeps bothering me about Apple Pay? I've been getting this WordPress "error" about not having Apple Pay working. I would never use an Apple product so I was wondering how I got that on my WordPress install. Now I'm curious if Stripe had better competitors?

That doesn’t sound right... what does Stripe have to do with Wordpress? And if Apple Pay is not configured, it’s not going to throw an error, it just won’t show the button.

Glad to see "Support for iDEAL, SEPA Debit, and other European payment methods" is on the roadmap - the world is bigger than the US, and many European's don't have cards. Hopefully they don't continue requiring you to obtain your own SEPA creditor identifier, as that simply isn't available to many non-EU companies wanting to trade in the EU. We are integrating Braintree currently just to support SEPA for European cus…

We are in Europe (France) and are using Stripe with SEPA Direct Debit.

I'm sure they did tons of testing on the experience, but I'm not a huge fan of the Apple Pay button being up top and appearing so prominent. My guess is that the vast majority of people won't end up using Apple Pay, so from a UX standpoint, I don't understand why it's above the credit card content as opposed to below. My guess is that they worked out some kind of lucrative partnership with Apple.

Others have already mentioned that it only shows up for compatible devices, but why would you want it to show below the payment form? That means a user would start filling in the form before realizing there's an alternate payment method. That seems like bad UX to me. The only thing that's jarring to me is how the button takes the full width of the screen. This is just me nitpicking though, the design otherwise looks…

I think it's just a matter of time before people switch from using PayPal.

We thought this and killed our PayPal integration (went Stripe only) and lost double digits in sales (and received constant emails asking for PayPal). Unfortunately people want PayPal for whatever reason. Everything about PayPal from the merchant side sucks (bad API, bad recurring billing features, slow, no refund of fees for refunds from May, 6 months for someone to do a chargeback!, etc etc)

Depends on whether your customers are buying on desktop or mobile. It is a big advantage for mobile conversions to support payment solutions like Apple and Google pay. https://www.commerce7.com/blog/how-digital-wallets-increase-...

I'll personally support this claim, on my iPhone Apple Pay is so seamless (finger over home button and done) that I'll consciously want to purchase it more. Similar story for one-click solutions such as paypal and amazon. If I don't have to get my card out then I'm far more likely to make a purchase.
