"The Apple website refers to the arrival of Apple Pay in the Netherlands"

The Apple website for developers gives us new hope that Apple Pay is coming soon to the Netherlands. This would finally pay for the service here.

Updated July 25: Apple has now removed the reference to the Dutch language for Apple Pay. We do not know if it was a mistake, or if the Cupertino company put our country too early on the list.

Apple Pay Dutch language support for developers

The Apple Pay payment service is gradually becoming available in more and more countries, but until now, the Netherlands have not yet arrived at the turning point . This seems to change, however, when we look at a page on Apple's developer website. This page was published in June 2018 and explains how to add an Apple Pay Donation button to websites.

Attentive iPhoned Player Tom discovered that the Dutch language is already available if you want to generate a payment button for Apple Pay. This is striking because all other available languages ​​are for countries where the payment service is already available.

This way you can choose English, Arabic, Chinese, Danish, Finnish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian , Spanish, Swedish and Dutch. Other countries where Apple Pay is not yet available (such as Germany) are not mentioned in this menu, which makes it even more striking that the Netherlands are included in this list . We have asked Apple Netherlands for an answer and we will update this article as soon as we know more ..

Apple Pay coming to the Netherlands?

This could mean that an ad from Pay in the Netherlands is closer than we thought. At the end of last year, the rumor also announced that Apple Pay would come to the Netherlands because the Apple website's support pages for the service had already been translated. on the website. Dutch. Now that the Dutch language also appears as an option for developers, this seems to be the next step to make the payment service available here.

With Apple Pay, you can pay without contact using your iPhone or Apple Watch. As soon as you connect a credit card to your device, you can use Contact ID or Face ID on your iPhone to pay contactlessly at stores with an ATM. A watch must be unlocked before being able to pay via the Apple smartwatch.
