A new way for India to pay with Apple Pay on Razorpay
As digital payments continue to evolve in India, the way shoppers authenticate transactions is evolving too. In September 2025, the RBI introduced a new framework that lets payment players move beyond SMS OTPs to other secure ways of authenticating payments. It came into effect in April 2026, opening the door to checkouts that are faster without compromising on security.
Apple Pay on Razorpay is built for exactly this moment. Shoppers simply choose Apple Pay at checkout, check their payment, and confirm it in seconds with Face ID, Touch ID, or their device passcode. No card details to type. No OTP to wait for.
It’s more secure too. Apple Pay uses tokenised card credentials, so the shopper’s actual card number is never shared with the business. That adds another layer of protection against fraud and helps reduce the risk of chargebacks.
For businesses, the payoff is simple: fewer steps between “I want this” and “Payment successful.” And because Apple Pay works across iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro, as well as on PCs through browsers like Chrome and Firefox, Razorpay merchants can offer the same smooth experience wherever their shoppers purchase.
Rahul Kothari, COO, Razorpay said, “Paying should be the easiest part of buying something, not the hardest. People expect every experience on their mobile devices and at payment outlets to be quick and effortless, and online payments via checkout should be no different. Apple Pay removes much of that friction, and with Razorpay, businesses don’t need to rebuild anything to offer it. It fits right into the checkout they already use, backed by the reliability and scale thousands of Indian businesses count on. For merchants, that means faster checkouts and more successful payments.”
For businesses using Razorpay Standard Checkout, Apple Pay can be enabled without building and maintaining a separate checkout flow, subject to enablement requirements. Razorpay securely routes transactions across Apple Pay, card networks, issuing banks, and processes the domestic payment once it is authorised by the shopper.
The launch extends Razorpay’s existing support for Apple Pay international transactions to domestic payments in India, further strengthening its role in helping businesses offer modern payment experiences through a single payments infrastructure.
