Apple Pay is coming to eBay.





As the online marketplace moves away from its official relationship with PayPal, it is moving into new relationships with new providers. As of this fall, Apple Pay will be one of the first new options on its new payment platform, making it possible for customers to either use Apple Pay in eBay’s mobile app, or for web purchases (provided they are using Safari as Apple Pay doesn’t work with Chrome or other browsers).

The Apple Pay option will roll out slowly at first — only a small group of select Marketplace customers will get to use Apple Pay in the first phase of its introduction to eBay. The goal, however, is to make the transition to their own in-house payment platform by the end of 2021.

The transition marks a definitive split from PayPal. eBay formally parted ways with PayPal in 2015, when it spun out as a stand-alone firm. eBay — as their contractually mandated partnership with PayPal is drawing to a close — is now working with Amsterdam-based company Adyen to construct their own payment system.

Since Adyen’s product is purely a back-end service, eBay is apparently planning to add a few front-end checkout options — Apple Pay will most likely be one of many. The new platform will mean that eBay pays less for processing, and that users will be able to checkout directly from eBay without have to log in to a third-party provider like PayPal.

Steve Fisher, eBay’s SVP of payments, said in a statement:

“Apple Pay is one of the most ubiquitous forms of payments and provides users with an easy, fast and secure way to pay. Offering Apple Pay as a form of payment on eBay is the first step in providing more choice and flexibility in payment options to our tens of millions of buyers.”

On top of the Apple Pay announcement, eBay also noted that it is pairing with Square’s quick financing service. The new deal with Square Capital will allow sellers on eBay to apply for loans from $500 to $100,000. The service will roll out to select U.S. customers.

10 ways to protect your customers' credit card data

Accepting credit cards doesn't have to be a constant exercise in paranoia about whether your customers' credit card data is safe or not. Here are 10 solutions for protecting the credit card data of your customers. 1. You can’t go it alone Like anything in life—when there's a lot on your plate, you can't manage it all without help.

Chip cards, and the EMV-enabled credit card terminals that can read them, are designed to stop fraud at the point-of-sale. A "forged" card is difficult to pa...

A Robust Payment Platform

Owing to the radical evolution of Fintech companies, heightened customer expectations for value-added services, and ever-changing regulatory landscape, the prominence of payment technologies has undeniably risen to new heights. These dynamics are reinvigorating the traditional financial landscape and enabling merchants to tap into the potential benefits of nascent technologies. At the same time, moving away from conventional methods of payments is bringing unprecedented opportunities to carry out international trade for both sellers and buyers. Although the disruption in the payments landscape seems stimulating for global trades, not all ventures gain from them as stringent compliance standards often undermine the use of technologies for cross-border transactions. Enunciating the same, Casey Seow, managing director of AWEpay, mentions that the new breed of technologies is revamping the entire payments space, enabling companies to cater to the untargeted market segments.
