Apple or Subway?
Many retail stores and restaurant chains are not as open to digital payment methods like Apple Pay or GPay. However, you might find an NFC or Near Field Communication scanner at the checkout counter in some retail stores which is how Apple Pay functions, only to find that the store has its own e-payment method. An example is Walmart.
So when it comes to the popular sandwich hub, the answer is yes, it does take Apple Pay.
Apple Pay has three accessible pathways for you to walk on:
- Website
- In-store
- App
- Drive-Thru
Subway website
When you are visiting the Subway website online, you can only use Apple devices to order your food and that device should have Apple Pay installed. If you order while using a Mac, then you will need to have the Apple Pay app installed to use this option.
Subway in-store
Yes, Subway accepts payment via a digital payment option of Apply Pay as they have NFC readers that you can tap on using your iPhone or Apple Watch. Make sure that your Apple Watch has Apple Pay pre-installed with a card linked prior to the payment.
Subway app
If you have the Subway app installed on your iPhone, then you can pick any sandwich, toppings, and fillings of your choice. After this when you are shown the payment page, then the option to pay with Apple Pay will be present.
Subway drive-thru
At the drive-thru as well, let the Subway staff know about your Apple Pay payment choice. You can scan or tap on their contactless NFC reader using either your iPhone or Apple Watch to pay for your tasty sandwiches.
Other acceptable payment methods
Subway also accepts the following payment methods:
- Credit cards (Discover, American Express, Visa, and MasterCard)
- Cash
- Subway Gift Cards and gift vouchers
