Encouraging Use of Apple Pay

Apple Pay messaging should be consistent throughout the customer experience.

Marketing across all channels throughout the year helps customers understand the value of Apple Pay and drives a steady increase in Apple Pay usage. In addition, consider providing an exclusive incentive for Apple Pay purchases, such as a discount, free delivery, or gift, which you can also communicate in the promotional text of your App Store product page. Promotional text can be updated at any time and does not require an app submission.

In order to support an Apple Pay exclusive offer, you’ll need to do the following.

Provide an offer that only applies to Apple Pay purchases.
Include messaging about the offer in your app or on your website.
Reflect the offer as a line-item in the paysheet.

Using the Apple Pay Mark

Marketing Communications

Use the Apple Pay mark in marketing communications only when promoting Apple Pay in relation to your payment options. Do not use the mark in general product or company promotions. The main message of the communication must be related to Apple Pay.

Artwork

The Apple Pay mark is available only in white with an outline rule. Other color options are not available. Do not alter the artwork in any way or create your own version of the Apple Pay mark. Use only the artwork provided by Apple.

Clear Space

For marketing communications, the minimum clear space for the mark is one quarter the height of the mark. Do not place graphics or typography in the clear space area. Do not allow the Apple Pay mark to share its surrounding border with another button or graphic. Maintain clear space around the mark.

Background Color

A white or light background is preferred when displaying the Apple Pay mark. The mark can also appear on a marketing layout that features a dark background.
