Integrate Apple Pay and Google Pay With Stripe on MemberPress

Do you want to integrate Apple Pay and Google Pay payment gateways on your membership site? If yes, you can do it with MemberPress. MemberPress has announced its consolidation with Stripe’s Apple Pay and Google Pay additions. This integration aims at providing a secure, protected, quick, and simple payment gateway to your customers.

Stripe is an online payment processor that provides multiple payment products to collect payment safely and easily. It can also help you with financing, managing expenses, invoicing, and fraud protection.

 

 

Until now, MemberPress used Stripe only for credit cards and debit card payments, which is definitely standard but a time-consuming process. Hence, its integration with digital wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay quickens the overall shopping experience. Digital wallets store your card information so that you don’t have to enter your billing information every time while making a payment, thus, providing a faster and secure purchasing process.
