Does Popeyes Take Apple Pay in 2025?
Hungry for some Popeyes chicken but left your wallet at home? I’ve been there too. Good news – you might be able to use your iPhone to pay. I wanted to know if Popeyes takes Apple Pay, so I did some digging. Here’s what I found out about paying with your phone at Popeyes in 2025.
Can You Use Apple Pay at Popeyes?
Yes, most Popeyes stores take Apple Pay in 2025. I learned this when I forgot my wallet last week. You can use Apple Pay inside the restaurant and on their app too. It’s nice not having to carry cash or cards.
But here’s a tip – ask the staff first before you order. Some Popeyes might have issues with their payment system. I once stood in line for 15 minutes only to find out their Apple Pay reader was broken. Look for the Apple Pay logo at the counter to be sure.
How to Use Apple Pay at Popeyes?
Using Apple Pay at Popeyes isn’t hard. I messed it up my first time, but now I got the hang of it. Here’s what you do:
Find the payment symbol at the register.
- Open the Wallet app on your iPhone.
- Pick which card you want to use.
- Use your face or finger to confirm it’s you.
- Hold your phone near the reader and wait for the beep.
The whole thing takes like 5 seconds. Way faster than finding the right card in your wallet or counting cash.
Using Apple Pay at Popeyes Drive-Thru
Yes, you can use Apple Pay at the drive-thru too! I tried this last week. When you get to the window, just tell them you want to pay with Apple Pay. They’ll hold out the payment reader so you can tap your phone. Super easy when you’re in a rush.
Apple Pay on the Popeyes Mobile App
The Popeyes app lets you use Apple Pay too. This has saved me so much time. The app has other cool stuff like deals and a store finder.
Here’s how to use it:
Get the Popeyes app from the App Store.
- Make an account or sign in.
- Pick your food and add it to your cart.
- At checkout, choose Apple Pay.
- Confirm with your face or finger.
- That’s it!

If you have an Apple Card, you can get money back when you buy food at Popeyes. I’ve been earning cashback this way for months. You might get up to 3% back, depending on what Apple’s offering.
