Apple Now Providing Apple Pay Window and Register Decals to Businesses

Monday March 23, 2015 1:32 PM PDT by Juli Clover
Apple today updated a section of its Apple Pay website aimed at businesses with a new link that allows them to order Apple Pay decals for retail stores. The new decals accompany a set of Apple Pay graphics for merchants that were added to the site a few weeks back.

Clicking the link to order decals takes merchants to a new Apple Pay Supplies website where they can sign up to receive an Apple Pay kit that contains window and register decals. In the kit, there are glass decals in two sizes, register decals in two sizes, and an application tool. Businesses can order up to five kits using the online tool, but larger decal orders require placing a phone call to Apple.

Kits are available at no cost after a company, name, email address, and shipping address are entered.

Apple is encouraging businesses of all sizes to adopt Apple Pay with its new logo kits, and it has a dedicated page for merchants who are interested in accepting the payment method. Apple Pay adoption by retailers has continued at a rapid pace, and in March, several new Apple Pay partners emerged, including GameStop, Marriott International, Jamba Juice, JetBlue, Office Max, Regal Cinemas, Walt Disney World, and more.

During Apple's March 9 event, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that there are now more than 700,000 locations where Apple Pay is accepted, including vending machines. Later this year, Square will introduce a new Square reader with NFC connectivity that will expand Apple Pay availability to thousands of small business owners that use the iPhone-based payment system.

Can I order some of these to stick on the disabled NFC terminals at CVS?

What took so long? They should've had these decals ready to go out on day one.

Just waiting for CurrentC to fail to be able to finally use Apple Pay at these places again.


You have to wait for CurrentC to launch first.

I went into a CVS over the weekend for the first time since Apple Pay launched. I pulled out my phone and asked the (clueless) employee at the register if I could pay with my phone since the light on the NFC reader was flashing and there was no indication from looking at the pad that it wouldn't work.

She said, "Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't" so I got my hopes up for a second. I put my finger on the Touch ID sensor and sure enough, a message came up on the POS screen that said "Contactless payment not permitted. Please swipe your card."

You'd think they would've found a way to completely turn off the NFC reader portion of the terminal by now. Having the light flashing and inviting people to use the technology is just adding insult to injury and making them look even worse. I can't believe they're still waiting for those idiots at CurrentC to get their act together.

I don't think there's a single consumer who wants CurrentC to succeed.

It's strange, but in this case siding with Apple is siding with broadly-available standards over narrowly-supported proprietary stuff. That isn't typically the case.

If we could use this to pay other people directly, it would be even more useful. All my friends use Venmo right now, and it's a great solution for things like splitting a restaurant bill.

the makeshift stickers on the doors of our local whole foods have been peeling off for awhile now, they look so shoddy; can't believe Apple wouldn't have supplied proper ones from day one. :rolleyes:
