CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Groupon (www.groupon.com) today unveiled its updated iPhone app that includes the new Apple Pay payments service. Starting today, all iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus users in the United States can take advantage of Apple Pay to seamlessly check out within the Groupon app with a single touch and pay for their purchase using Touch ID.
To use the new payments service, existing customers need to download iOS 8.1, install Apple Pay, update the Groupon app and select Apple Pay on the purchase confirmation screen. New Groupon customers need to do the same and their method of payment will automatically default to Apple Pay.
“With nearly 92 million app downloads worldwide and more than half of our transactions occurring on mobile devices, Groupon is one of the largest mobile commerce companies in the world,” said Groupon CEO Eric Lefkofsky. “Bringing Apple Pay to the Groupon mobile app makes it easier than ever to find and buy the best things around you.”
