Schnucks now accepts Apple Pay at all 98 store locations across five states. Shoppers can now pay with their iPhone, Apple Watch or iPad.
“To begin, users must simply link their credit or debit cards directly to their device by using the Passbook app,” said Schnucks Vice President of IT Infrastructure David Steck. “Then all they have to do is hold their device near the contactless reader and it will let them know when their payment is successfully sent.”
Steck said the system is “extremely secure.”
“When using Apple Pay at checkout, a unique Device Account Number is assigned,” Steck said. “This number, along with a transaction-specific dynamic security code, is used to process your payment so your actual credit or debit card numbers are never shared by Apple or transmitted with payment.”
This feature is available on iPhone 6, Apple Watch, iPad Air 2 and IPad mini 3.
