Apple Pay has quickly become the most-used mobile wallet solution in the world, but finding businesses that accept it still isn’t all that easy. To help ease that pain, Apple launched a website today that offers free Apple Pay decals that participating merchants can apply to their registers and windows.
To get a free Apple Pay promotional kit, any business can visit ApplePaysupplies.com and get a kit sent to their door.
Each kit comes with the following:
- Glass decals in two sizes
- Register decals in two sizes
- Application tool
Apple has also made an .EPS file of the Apple Pay logo available for download on its website, as well as an Apple Pay Mark Guide, which specifies that the mark can only be used in websites, emails, online display ads, terminals, digital displays and in-stores.
To increase awareness, Apple recommends that stores position their Apple Pay mark in an arrangement with other payment acceptance marks like Visa, MasterCard and American Express.

Companies can now advertise Apple for free??? How does Apple make a profit – giving all this away? Maybe Apple Pay would catch on if they exclusively offered BitCoin transactions…
Sarcastic?
They would most likely cover the cost one or two transactions if not less.
Something free from apple? The world is coming to an end.

To clarify the end of the last sentence, finding businesses that accept ApplePay in the US still isn’t that easy. If you already have ApplePay enabled via a US card/iTunes account and travel to pretty much any other country, most businesses accept it using their standard NFC card machines, which are pretty standard everywhere else. I’ve certainly used ApplePay to pay in Canada at Starbucks and elsewhere – they think its really cool there since they haven’t really seen it in person yet.
As for how Apple makes $, I’m assuming every transaction using ApplePay is noted as such when a device is used to make a payment (using the specific token or card # assigned to the device). The charge would presumably go through the same process with the card issuer that it does with an official “ApplePay” merchant, and so Apple would still get its cut.
