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).

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.
