Apple Pay Later feature, which was first previewed at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2022, is likely to launch soon. According to a new report, CEO Tim Cook said that Apple employees are beta testing the Apple Pay Later service, which will help Apple boost services revenue.
During an interview with CNBC, Cook said that the Apple Pay Later feature will be launching soon. It is similar to the buy now, pay later feature offered by PayPal, and it is designed to allow users to make multiple payments for their purchases.
According to the company, Apple Pay Later lets customers split a purchase into four equal payments over six weeks, with no interest or fees to pay. Apple Pay Later is available in the United States only for purchases in apps and online when customers check out with Apple Pay.
And it’s built into Wallet so customers can easily track what they owe and when they owe it. By using the Mastercard network, Apple Pay Later just works with Apple Pay and requires no integration for merchants.
