AUSTRALIANS ARE READY FOR APPLE PAY
What Your Business Can Do To Prepare If you are ready and willing to integrate Apple Pay into your business model , start investigating your options for contactless terminals on your EFTPOS machines . This is the only piece of hardware you ’ ll need to provide Apple Pay as a service , so it may be a good investment for your company . These machines range from US $ 150 to US $ 500 , so check your budget to make sure it fits . If your business already has one , even better !
Next , keep an eye on your bank to see if they will be integrating Apple Pay . It would be a bit much to change banks just to have this as part of your business , but when Apple Pay does get introduced your bank may not be far behind in including it with its services .
I think the ability to combine Apple Pay into an existing business app is one of the best things about the service . It provides you an easier way to accept payment , and peace of mind to your customer , especially with all the news of security hacks that are happening all too often now .
Perhaps the most important is to read up on the security that Apple Pay provides its users . If it ’ s a service
you are going to tie your name and your business to , it is imperative to know the ins and outs . In the early days of implementation , there will most likely be several questions from your customers about its use . With security at the forefront of everyone ’ s minds , being able to share information about Apple ’ s Touch ID function and its encrypted data will help put your customers at ease .
Offering any sort of NFC payment technology to your customers is about ease of use , for you , your business and them . Apple Pay is just another way to provide a helpful service to your customers . If it doesn ’ t take too much effort to do so , it just might be worth it in the long run .
