Razorpay Enables Apple Pay for Online and In-Store Payments in India
Razorpay has launched Apple Pay for online and in-store payments across India, enabling faster, more secure transactions without card entry or OTPs. This follows the Reserve Bank of India's 2025 framework allowing alternative authentication methods beyond SMS OTPs, effective April 2026. Apple Pay uses tokenized card credentials, enhancing security by not sharing actual card numbers. The service supports multiple Apple devices and popular browsers, offering merchants a streamlined payment experience with brands like Zepto, Ixigo, Indigo, Tata 1 mg, and JioMart already onboard.
