1Stores That Accept Apple Pay Right Now

Here’s the official list of Apple Pay partners accepting contactless payments in stores. While it does not include every shop, restaurant, or service, you can most definitely be sure that it’ll work in these places, as employees have most likely been thoroughly trained to prepare for the questions shoppers will have.

Anyone with a “(confirmed)” next to their name are retailers who aren’t on Apple’s official list, but who have officially stated they accept Apple Pay.

3Stores That Won’t Accept Apple Pay Right Now (Or Ever)

While most stores with the universal contactless smart card reader sign will accept Apple Pay and other NFC-based payments, there are few stores that either haven’t added support specifically for Apple Pay yet, have no intention of doing so, or haven’t been confirmed to support Apple Pay yet (if you know, let us know in the comments!).

Some stores below had previously partnered with MCX (which was later purchased by Chase) and its now-defunct CurrentC project. Others have partnered with options such as PayPal, Chase Pay, and Buy It Mobility or have come up with their own contactless payment system.

Not all of these merchants below will refuse Apple Pay, but they have not officially accepted it as far as we can tell. Some stores, like CVS, have confirmed disabling NFC card readers to prevent Apple Pay use (though, some renegade stores will still accept it). Ones with asterisks (*) below may now accept Apple Pay but it has not been confirmed yet.
