Mumbai, October 6, 2025: PayGlocal, India’s leading cross-border first payments company, has announced the launch of Apple Pay support for Indian merchants. With this, businesses across India, from SMEs and startups to large enterprises - can now offer their international customers the ability to pay using Apple Pay, one of the world’s most trusted and seamless checkout experiences.
The launch comes ahead of the global festive shopping season, giving Indian merchants a timely boost to capture growing international demand. For customers abroad, Apple Pay isn’t just another option, it’s a brand of trust and convenience that reduces drop-offs and builds confidence at checkout.
This integration addresses a long-standing challenge for Indian businesses that sell to global customers. Customers everywhere are clear about what they prefer: payment methods they recognize and trust.
PayGlocal has spent years building reliable cross-border payments infrastructure for Indian sellers, enabling thousands of Indian merchants to accept payments from customers in over 180 countries. By enabling Apple Pay, PayGlocal provides Indian merchants with a fast, secure, and familiar payment method trusted by consumers globally, driving conversions with confidence, strengthening its mission of fostering global commerce.
Since its founding, PayGlocal has focused on simplifying cross-border payments for Indian businesses. The company’s infrastructure already powers payments for leading brands and thousands of SMEs across retail, travel, education, SaaS, and exports, increasing international payment success rates, fighting fraud with advanced security, and settling faster in multiple currencies.
With the launch of Apple Pay integration, PayGlocal continues to expand the payments infrastructure powering India’s global growth story.
1. Built for Indian Merchants, Designed for Global Buyers
a. Integrated for cross-border: PayGlocal manages the entire Apple Pay flow, including compliance, so Indian merchants can go live without added complexity.
b. Higher success rates: customers see a payment method they know and trust, leading to fewer drop-offs and cart abandonments. With Apple Pay, transactions carry additional security signals, reducing declines and issuer cancellations.
c. Secure by design: tokenized transactions prevent unauthorized use while PayGlocal’s fraud controls add another layer of protection for merchants and buyers.
“At PayGlocal, our focus has always been on making global payments simple and reliable for Indian businesses. Apple Pay is one of the most trusted ways to pay worldwide, and with this launch, Indian merchants — from young startups to large enterprises — can now give their customers that same fast, seamless checkout experience. For us, it’s about enabling Indian businesses to deliver the kind of world-class payment journey that global brands are known for, all with a single tap,” said Yogesh Lokhande, Co-founder & CTO, PayGlocal.
