Dollar Tree is that popular discount variety store chain in North America that sells a wide variety of goods to consumers at low prices. The Dollar General stores are primarily under the Dollar Tree brand.
Not to waste much time. Many consumers are asking if Dollar Tree accepts Apple Pay as mode of payment in-store and online. Well, I'm glad to tell you that Apple Pay can be used for payment in Dollar Tree stores, built cannot be used for online order.
"We are not able to accept purchase orders, coupons, Google Wallet, or Apple Pay at this time," the company clarified.
This simply means Apple Pay is not accepted for online orders on Dollar Tree. However, this doesn't mean you can use the digital wallet for payment in-store. Dollar Tree highlights that users with American Express, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, PayPal, and PayPal Credit are eligible to make payments for their online orders.
With that being said, I'll show you how to set up your Apple Pay account to be used in-store at any Dollar Tree store.
Setup Apple Pay for use at Dollar Tree
If you've already set up your Apple Pay and it's running perfectly, then there's no need to read this section. You can proceed to how to use Apple Pay in Dollar Tree stores.
Setting up Apple Pay is very simple. You can do that on your iOS devices such as iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac and iPad. Infact, you don't need to download an extra app because the Wallet App (a pre-installed app that allows you to manage Apple Pay) is already on your iOS devices.
Furthermore, a debit or a credit card is needed. The card will be linked to the Apple Pay wallet so that payment can be done directly from the card. To link your card, open the Apple Pay wallet on your device, tap the plus sign (+), and follow the on-screen prompts to add your credit or debit card—either by scanning it or entering the details manually.
If you prefer to enter the details manually, that means you will input the card numbers, CVV, expiry date and PIN in their designated box. Meanwhile, you might need to verify your card with your bank.
That's to say, a verification code (also known as OTP) will be sent via text or email. Check your inbox to confirm the code. Once verified, your card is ready to use with Apple Pay for secure, contactless payments at stores, in apps, or online.
Note: You may need to update your device to the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, or macOS, if the Apple Pay wallet is not working well on your device.
Using Apple Pay at Dollar Tree Stores
It's on an unusual case will Dollar Tree accept digital wallet. Many of their customers are complaining about not being able to use their Apple Pay for payment in-store. Meanwhile, some number of them gives a testimony about how they use their Apple Pay to make payments in the local store.
Perhaps, not all Dollar Tree stores accepts Apple Pay even if it's in-store shopping. So, just get prepared another payment option like credit or debit card if the DT store near you doesn't accept digital wallet payments.
The well working payment methods DT stores accepts are credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, PayPal Credit, EBT cards, cash in hand and checks. The credit/debit card can be MasterCard, Visa Card or American Express card.
But before you use other payment options, you can directly walk to the cashier after picking your items and ask her or him if they accept Apple Pay. If they do, simply use your Apple Pay wallet to pay by scanning the QR code. And if they don't accept, just use another paying option.
Dollar Tree cashbacks details with Apple
You cannot get cashback by using Apple Cash with Apple Pay at Dollar Tree. To earn cashback, use the Apple Card with Apple Pay, and expect 2% Daily Cash. I must say, Apple Cash itself does not offer cashback; instead, cashback (called Daily Cash by Apple) is a feature of the Apple Card, a credit card by Apple and Goldman Sachs.
To earn Daily Cash, you must use the Apple Card with Apple Pay, with rates of 3% for Apple and select merchants, 2% for other Apple Pay purchases, and 1% for physical card use. Apple Cash can hold Daily Cash from Apple Card transactions, but spending it does not earn new cashback.
Dollar Tree accepts Apple Pay, but does not have its own cashback program. Any cashback would come from your payment method, like the Apple Card. However, Dollar Tree is not listed as a select merchant for 3% Daily Cash, so using Apple Card with Apple Pay there likely earns 2% Daily Cash.
