Many Old Navy shoppers (both online and in-store) have been asking me "Temmy Samuel, does Old Navy accept Apple Pay payment method?" Well, I have come to give answers to that in this comprehensive article.
Old Navy is an American clothing and accessories retail company owned by Gap Inc., founded in 1994 in San Francisco, California. It offers affordable, trendy, and high-quality merchandise for the whole family, including men, women, children, and babies, with a focus on inclusive sizing and a fun shopping experience.
Does Old Navy take Apple Pay?
Yes, Apple Pay can be used for payment in Old Navy retail stores. In fact, the cloth retail store accepts few digital payment wallets including PayPal and Apple Pay as it's primary payment methods.
Apple Pay can also be used to make payments on the Old Navy online retail stores. That's to say, Old Navy retail stores accept Apple Pay for both online and in-store payments.
However, it's important to know the limitations of using Apple Pay for payment on Old Navy stores. If you're planning to make an in-store payment for a pickup order, note that you can only use Apple Pay, and this option is limited to a single location.
In other words, you cannot use it for in-store pickups at multiple locations, so choose one store that has everything you need. Or you can just ask the store assistant for help if you must use it in another store different from your usual one.
With that being said, let's get into how to setup Apple Pay for use at any Old Navy stores or online stores.
How to use Apple Pay at Old Navy
Old Navy operates over 1,000 stores in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, plus an online platform, and has expanded internationally through franchise stores. As popular as iPhone users in these locations make Apple Pay a popular demand for payment in stores.
The most amazing part of it is that Apple Pay is acceptable in the store. MEANWHILE, using the digital wallet for payment in-store and online in Old Navy retail stores is simple. All you need to do is first of all set up your Apple Pay account for use on your iPhone, Mac, iPad or AppleWatch.
Setting up Apple Pay for use at Old Navy
To set up Apple Pay on your iPhone, open the Wallet app (the pre-installed Apple Pay app), and tap the "+" button in the top-right corner of your screen. Now, you will need to select "Debit or Credit Card" and follow the prompts to add your card.
You can add your add by either scanning it with your camera or entering the details manually. Next, you will need to verify your card with your bank—either through a text message code or an authentication process—and once approved, your card will be added to Apple Pay Wallet.
However, it's important to note that this method of setup may not work as expected on your device. If this kind of situation happens, all you need to do is ensure that your iPhone (or any iOS devices you're using) is running the latest iOS version.
You can go to your device's Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay to enable the Apple Pay pre-installed application. In this settings page, you can also set a default card and adjust settings like allowing payments on the Mac.
Now, once everything has been setup, it's time to test it in a supported store like Old Navy to confirm it works.
Using Apple Pay for payment in-store and online at Old Navy

To make payments online, select "online payment options" on the Old Navy's website after carting all the items you want to shop. On the online payment options page, you will see "PayPal" and "Apple Pay". These are the two digital payment options accepted on Old Navy at the time of publishing.
Now, select "Apple Pay" and follow the prompts that follow to make a successful payment. On your iPhone, you may need to double-click the side button, and authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to complete the transaction.
Make payment in-store
Like I have made it clear in the beginning of this article that Apple Pay payment is limited to a single Old Navy store. If you wish to use the payment method on multiple locations, then you will need assistance from the store cashier.
Nevertheless, follow the steps outlined below to make payment in-store using Apple Pay at Old Navy:
- Visit your Old Navy store and shop your items.
- Go-to cashier for checkout and request for Apple Pay payment.
- On your iPhone, double-click the side button, authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
- Now, hold your device near the contactless reader to complete the transaction.
You can also make payment with your Mac computer. To do that, kindly Handoff enabled Apple Pay on your Mac, and use your iPhone to authenticate. Alternatively, if your Mac supports direct Apple Pay payment, just double-click the Touch ID button to complete a transaction.
Note: Your card details will not be shared with third-party retail stores. Apple Pay uses a unique Device Account Number for secure transactions. So, all your Apple Pay and personal information are store and secured within Apple system.
Payments Methods at Old Navy stores
It's important to note that Old Navy has limited payment flexibility. The clothing retail store typically accepts PayPal, American Express, Diners Club, Japanese Credit Bank (JCB), MasterCard, Visa, and gift cards issued by Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Athleta, including the Options Gift Cards, for both online and some in-store purchases.
Did you even know that the name "Old Navy" was inspired by a bar in Paris, chosen by Gap's then-CEO Millard Drexler to reflect a distinct, value-driven identity separate from its parent company? I will give that to you as a bonus.
