Apple Pay Setup

Apple Pay transactions are run through your credit card processor just like credit card sales. If your processor supports Apple Pay, so can your business.

1. Follow the steps here to set up credit card processing.

   Apple Pay works with ShopKeep Payments by Lightspeed, most third-party credit card processors (only when EMV payments are enabled), and online and mobile payments for invoices and Pay by Link sales.

2. Set up the Link/2500, Moby/5500, QuickBooks All-in-One, Clover Go, Clover Mini, or Clover Flex credit card reader for use at the register.
   • Visit the Lightspeed Store to purchase a credit card reader.
   • The Clover Go, Clover Mini, and Clover Flex are only available to eligible merchants processing credit cards with ShopKeep Payments by Lightspeed.
