- With Apple Pay now live on Razorpay, Indian exporters gain a globally trusted checkout experience proven to boost conversions by 58% and average order value by 12%
INDIA, Bengaluru – 16 September 2025: Razorpay, India’s Leading Full-Stack Payments and Banking Platform for Businesses, today announced its integration with Apple Pay to support international payments for Indian businesses. With this, Razorpay becomes the first Indian Payment Aggregator to enable Apple Pay for cross-border transactions, giving Indian exporters access to a globally trusted checkout experience.
Razorpay powers Apple Pay for leading Indian brands such as Mokobara, Akasa Air, Pernia’s Pop Up Shop, Sabyasachi, Nish Hair, House of Masaba, and more. This milestone positions Indian exporters at par with global players, unlocking new opportunities for faster, seamless, and more secure growth in international markets.
Recent industry studies reveal steep cart abandonment trends worldwide, with global averages reaching 70.19%, and the APAC region, crucial for Indian exporters, seeing rates as high as 87% in Q4 2024. At the same time, Apple Pay, with over 500 million users globally and more than 90% merchant acceptance in the US, has become a preferred payment method in major export markets. The absence of such familiar, globally trusted checkout options in Indian exporters’ international payment flows has long contributed to high checkout abandonment, low trust, and revenue loss for Indian exporters.
With this launch, Razorpay brings Indian exporters closer to their international customers by removing long-standing payment checkout barriers. Through Apple Pay, customers can now complete their purchases with a single click using biometric authentication (Face ID or Touch ID), with no CVV, OTP, or manual card entry required. This globally trusted payment experience not only delivers speed and security but also drives measurable business impact. Early pilots have shown up to a 58% lift in conversion rates, a 45% faster checkout, and a 12% increase in average order value from Apple Pay users.
“At Razorpay, our vision has always been to empower Indian businesses with the same cutting-edge financial infrastructure as their global counterparts,” said Shashank Kumar, MD & Co-founder, Razorpay. “Partnering with Apple Pay is a significant step in that journey, as it brings a world-class checkout experience to Indian exporters. With one-tap biometric authentication, we’re already seeing far fewer cart abandonments and a significant reduction in fraud. As Indian businesses scale across borders, this launch ensures they have every advantage to win global customers’ trust, reduce friction, and accelerate growth. We are not just enabling payments, we are enabling Indian businesses to compete and thrive on the world stage.”
With India’s total exports touching an all-time high of US$824.9 billion in FY 2024–25, this capability arrives at a critical juncture. Early adoption signals strong demand; over 5000 payments were processed within the first two weeks of the beta launch, with a success rate of 95%, underscoring both the scale of opportunity and the reliability of the solution.
Apple Pay on Razorpay is currently available for eligible Indian merchants onboarding customers in supported geographies and is designed to operate in compliance with India’s cross-border payment regulations. This move also strengthens Razorpay’s position as a leader in global payments innovation, following its earlier launches in UPI International, cross-border payouts, and multi-currency support.
