Office supply store Staples has begun accepting Apple Pay payments across the US, bringing the number of Apple’s active partners into the mid 30s.
Staples was listed as one of the retailers planning to implement Apple Pay “later this year”, along with Anthropologie, Free People, Sephora, Urban Outfitters, and Walt Disney World.
Now that Apple Pay has gone live in Staples, the mobile payments service has 34 retail partners, including Macy’s, Disney, Foot Locker, Petco, Walgreens, and Toys R Us, MacRumours reported.
Staples only started to sell Apple products in its US stores last September. Since then the store has eagerly promoted Apple products both online and in store. The company has been planning to implement Apple Pay since the service launched in September, and the Staples iOS app has allowed Apple Pay payments since its own launch on October 20th.
