Not accepted at all places yet. Sometimes glitchy and does not work at some merchants causing to then use card.

Easy to integrate with our existing systems. Widely used and accepted in the market and with customers.

I really like the fact that I can save my debit cards into the Apple pay account and purchase anything online or even send money to my family.

Overall Apple Pay has been amazing, I love how much smaller my wallet is now without all those cards in it.

For instance it doesn't work with the bank that I have now versus the bank that I used to have before so it is frustrating. At least it doesn't take too long to receive through bank transfer though.

I had a few problems with linking my debit card. In the future Apple should definitely develop some different features to solve this problem.

So many stores and websites accept Apple pay which is really nice. It's easy to add cards to your digital wallet and it's very secure.

This software is very easy to navigate, can use these on mac and iphones, and exclusive for iphone users only, can buy your stuffs easily online.

It is perfectly integrated with in IOS software. It is easy to access when at a register and easily compatible with Apple Wallet.

The bad thing is, it is not accessible for everyone means there is selected vendors are only accept apple pay not everyone.

I love the ease of the app. Before, I was using Google Pay and PayPal but their customer support and functionality did not leave a good impression.

Apple pay is worth your time to download the app and connect your debit or credit card. Easy functionality and great customer service.

I like that Apple Pay is very intuitive to use, easy to access, and widely accepted.

Love it will continue to use it everyday. Has been a lifesaver in so many situations.

My favorite feature is how it is integrated with text messages. Sending or receiving money is now that much easier.

One of the major pros that I like about this software is that it’s not only easy to use but it also stores your information in such a safe way.

The speed of using the service. Helpful Customer Service.

I liked the most how easy it is to use the program and that I can see easily and at one clean platform all of my spendings.

Customer support is very good better than other options. If you have never tried a payment system like this, I highly recommend it.

M able to use my phone or other device at any retailer that accepts it. Plus the software is simple and easy to use, the integration with iOS works phenomenally well.

It is a great alternative on your wallet literally. Easy and convenient without any hassle.

NO SIGNAL ON YOUR PHONE THEN YOU WILL HAVE TROUBLE USING THIS SOFTWARE AND IS THERE ARE NO BATTERY YOU HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM.

Super easy to set up the process and also easy to use. The user interface is minimalistic and organized well.

Apple is one of the leading companies in technology right now, it is very easy to use and very popular.

The convenience of just been able to make payments to multiple stores online just with a browser. The customer care is also unmatched.

I liked the ease of setup and how quickly you can transfer money to someone with a few keystrokes on the phone.

I like the ease of Apple Pay - you can literally just text someone the money you want to pay them and then they have access to these funds.

The most trusted and quick way to send money. I have been using this for almost all recurring bill payments.

Apple always has great integration and works perfectly with Australian banks. Not all banks are in the system but the quick and secure payment is essential when you forgot to bring the card.

Then, adding insult to injury, they suspended my account and told me I could not get any information for at least 3 Business days.

Not many of my patients choose to use Apple Pay. There is no other negative about it.

It's very easy to set up and use it at my favorite stores. Just having my iphone in my hand is all i need when i go for the shopping.

The 'Apple Pay' function seems sensitive at times and likes it try to execute itself without confirmation. That is uncomfortable and frustrating.

Overall a great product and definitely recommend to all those seeking convenience and ease when purchasing products.

Everyone loses their wallet, misplaced their cards or leaves them home but apply pay allows you to simply pay by phone. It’s so easy to use and so convenient.

I love how easy it is to utilize Apple Pay when you're at your favorite restaurant or store.

Love it, I love everything about it. It is easy to use and I love just putting my phone up without pulling out my wallet.

I really appreciate the seamless integration between the POS and the eCommerce.

You can read all about the features and I could tell you everything that we love or you can just be smart like we were and just try it.

Ease of use great tech support the ability to use Lightspeed from any computer you have access to.

The loyalty program is very customizable and modern, and customers love that they dont have to download an app.

The only negative would be, I live in Newfoundland, we have lots of storms and the power goes out frequently. I do sometimes have to call after outages to sync my ipad with my receipt printer.

The customer service has been great and Lightspeed is always working on making new improvements. I also use Lightspeed ecomm which has been a lifesaver during covid.

I absolutely love lightspeed - they have great customer service and I know that if anything happens it will be fixed quickly.

The customer service is top notch, they are always able to help if you have a question or an issue to resolve (which there are not a lot of issues!!).

Support has been excellent and setup very easy. Our sales team loves the new software because it’s so user friendly.

Software works great, very fast and very dynamic. Love the interface, clean, simple, and easy to use.

Lightspeed has a lot of options and is pretty well integrated. The connection between retail and ecom and loyalty in particular is great.

With Lightspeed's eCom we found the solution we were searching for. Real time updates and the ease to upload inventory is just amazing.

The hours saved is well worth the few extra dollars. Like and believe in LS so much I invested in their stock.

Lightspeed does this better than any other platform out there. The iPad/touchscreen ordering options are also excellent.

The ease of using this program from desktop PC's to iPads anywhere there is internet is wonderful. It is more than robust for our 10,000 plus skus.

We have been very happy with Lightspeed for nearly 10 years and felt as we have grown with them. Customer support has always been great.

This software is easy to use. Quick, clean, amazing customer service.

The design template is amazing, we recently modified our e-commerce and there's a wide variety of templates you may use makes it seamless to your needs. Easy to track inventory and invoice.

It's such a blessing to have a support team for our business. It has been easy to integrate all of our business critical resources and provide a more unified experience for our employees.

The LightSpeed team made our switchover to them and setup happen with such ease. Their system is cost friendly, reliable and aesthetically pleasing.

What we loved the most about Lightspeed is that we could customize it to our needs. Plus it works great on Apple computers.

It has amazing 24-hour assistance and access. Furthermore, I think it is super user-friendly and very easy to use and navigate.

Although , it endorses Apple products, it works perfectly fine with Windows operating systems. It also has a companion product which is called Lightspeed Accounting that is comparable to Quickbooks.

Throughout our buildouts of both Retail and eCom, we've had really great experiences with everyone that supported us along the way.

Our experience with Lightspeed is single handedly the worst experience we have ever had with any vendor, rep, or supplier.

It takes seconds really. It also could be me not knowing how to use my computer - I did mention how bad I am.

I had a lot of inventory to transfer. With the help of Lightspeed's help team it was quick and seamless.

The delivery set up side company integration was horrible to work with.

This software is priced right and so easy to use. Customer service is amazing and there to help 24/7.

The inventory integration and management is seamless and the ability to integrate applications through API calls seems endless.

Great for our resale business, we can use barcodes for all our products. Great for tracking all the donated and purchased inventory.

Apple Pay offers a secure and private way to pay for goods and services through iOS apps. Users can provide all payment and shipping information with a single touch using Touch ID.


Instead of using cash or cards at checkout, Apple Pay enables users to hold their iPhones over near field communication (NFC) terminals to make secure payments instead of using cash or cards at checkout. The solution is an NFC-payment system that is characterized by an anonymous and single-use token system that keeps credit card data completely secure.


Apple Pay uses third-party apps for managing items such as gift cards, boarding passes and movie tickets. The solution is suitable for both small and medium businesses, however it requires iOS 8.1 or above and an iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S Plus, iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus.


The iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, iPad Pro, iPad mini 3 and Apple Watch also work with it, but iPads only support it in apps, and the Apple Watch must be paired with an iPhone.
