Apple Pay x Firewood Camps
Updated
by Firewood Camps Support
The latest Firewood v 3 rollout now surfaces Apple Pay wherever Stripe’s Payment Element appears, giving iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch users a one-tap checkout with Face ID, Touch ID, or passcode authentication. Case-study data from Stripe shows conversion lifts up to 250 % (Indiegogo) and checkout times 58 % faster (Instacart) when shoppers use Apple Pay, all at the exact same Stripe card-processing rates—Apple charges nothing extra.
