Apple Pay for WooCommerce POS
Apple Pay at the Oliver POS register, via your existing WooCommerce gateway.
Powered through the Any Apple Pay-capable WooCommerce gateway plugin (Stripe, Adyen, Mollie, etc.) plugin — install it on WordPress, configure under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments, and Oliver picks it up at the register automatically.
How Apple Pay works with Oliver POS for WooCommerce
Apple Pay is not a standalone gateway — it's a wallet that lives on top of your existing processor. Oliver POS surfaces Apple Pay automatically inside the in-POS browser view whenever your WooCommerce gateway has it enabled (Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Mollie, Checkout.com, Worldpay, and others).
Apple Pay is a wallet, not a gateway
Apple Pay does not process payments. It's a wallet that holds the customer's card and sends a tokenised card credential to whichever gateway is actually moving the money. Stripe, Adyen, Mollie, PayPal/Braintree, Checkout.com, Worldpay, Square — all of them present Apple Pay as a button inside their hosted checkout when the merchant has it enabled.
How Apple Pay appears in the Oliver POS browser view
From the Oliver POS register, the cashier picks the WooCommerce gateway (say, Stripe Checkout). Oliver opens the gateway's hosted page inside the in-POS browser view. The Apple Pay button is right there, alongside the card form. If the iPad has Apple Pay enabled and the customer scans their iPhone or Apple Watch — even better, they can hand-hold the customer through a phone-to-phone tap if you've enabled Tap to Pay on iPhone through Stripe.
Domain verification — set it up once
For Apple Pay on the web to work, your domain must be verified with Apple. Every Apple Pay-capable WooCommerce plugin walks you through that one-time verification. Once it's done, Apple Pay just appears in the hosted checkout — no per-gateway re-verification.
Best fit for retailers who…
Enable Apple Pay at the Oliver POS for any customer base with iPhone share above ~30% — which is most US, UK, Nordic, and ANZ retail. There's no extra cost, no separate setup, and the tap-to-pay UX inside the in-POS browser view is the closest thing to a card-reader experience without buying a card-reader.
