Does IKEA Take Apple Pay?

If you’re a frequent shopper at IKEA and you prefer to use mobile payment methods, you may be wondering if the store accepts Apple Pay. The good news is that IKEA does accept Apple Pay as a payment method in their stores and online.

For those unfamiliar with the digital wallet service, Apple Pay allows iPhone, and Apple Watch users to make quick and secure payments without the need for cash or credit cards, at their favorite retailers. With the service, you can make purchases by simply holding your device near a contactless payment terminal and using your device’s passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID to authorize the payment. It’s fast, it’s secure, and it’s incredibly convenient.

To use Apple Pay at an IKEA store, you’ll need to make sure that the store’s payment terminals are compatible with the service (all of them should be). You can do this by looking for the contactless payment symbol on the terminal. If you see the symbol, you can use your iPhone or Apple Watch to pay for your purchases by holding your device near the terminal and using Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode to authorize the payment.

Meanwhile, those shopping online just need to select Apple Pay when they reach the checkout screen and are asked to choose a payment method. It’s available on Apple Watch, iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Just keep in mind that you’ll need to have set up Apple Pay first to use it. There’s instructions on how to do this over on Apple’s website. Just select the software version on your device for more specific instructions on how to add a card.

There are no fees for using Apple Pay at Ikea — when ordering online or paying in the store itself. Charges are the same as if you were to hand the card itself to the cashier, so if you’re traveling abroad, you may still be charged an international transaction fee. These charges (if applicable) are applied by the card issuer and not Apple, so if you don’t receive them usually, don’t expect to with Apple Pay.
