Introduction
At Knigdom, we always strive to make your journey from choosing a book to reading it as smooth as possible. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that we now support Apple Pay and Google Pay. Whether you’re using an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Android device, checking out is faster, safer, and more convenient than ever.
Why Apple Pay & Google Pay Matter
1. Speed up your checkout
No more typing long card numbers, expiry dates, or CVV codes. With digital wallets, payment details are pre-stored and pre-verified. Users just confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or device authentication. This reduces friction and increases conversion.
2. Built-in security & privacy
Both Apple Pay and Google Pay use tokenization, meaning your real card number never touches Knigdom’s systems. Only a secure, one-time payment token is used.
Moreover, payments require device authentication (biometrics, passcode), reducing risks if your phone is lost or stolen.
3. Global accessibility for readers everywhere
We want people from all corners of the world to enjoy Knigdom without barriers. Offering Apple Pay and Google Pay means fewer obstacles for users who prefer modern, mobile wallet payments over manually entering card info.
These methods are already trusted and popular, so many users will feel comfortable using them. stripe
4. Reduced cart abandonment
Long payment forms often discourage users. By simplifying the process, you reduce hesitation. Digital wallet buttons help bridge that last gap.
5. Better backend, better tracking
Transactions via Apple Pay / Google Pay often come with additional metadata (without compromising privacy) and more reliable recordkeeping. For merchants, that means clearer insight and simpler bookkeeping.
How to Use Apple Pay or Google Pay on Knigdom
Add any book to your cart and proceed to payment.
If your device supports it, you’ll see the Apple Pay or Google Pay button as a payment option.
Tap the button and confirm the transaction using your device’s authentication method (Face ID, fingerprint, etc.).
Once confirmed, your order is processed, and you’ll get access to download links instantly.
It’s that simple — no extra form filling, no manual card entry.
A Few Notes & Tips
If your card is already in your Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, it will automatically appear as an option during checkout.
Some banks may still process the charge in your home currency (or in GBP, depending on how your account is set up), so minor currency conversions may still apply.
If you prefer, you can still choose to pay via traditional card entry — the new wallets are just additional options, not replacements.
Conclusion
At Knigdom, we believe paying for your next favorite read should be as delightful as reading itself. With Apple Pay and Google Pay now supported, the last barrier — payment friction — is minimized. Tap, confirm, download, read. Welcome to the future of book buying.
Happy reading!
