Does Five Below Take Apple Pay?

Yes, Five Below does take Apple Pay as a payment method.

Besides being a specialty discount retailer, Five Below lets you check out with some of the most popular digital wallets in the e-commerce space, including Apple Pay, whether you are shopping in-store or online with your phone or computer.

I believe this is one of the best places you'll want to shop if you need to combine both payment convenience and cost-effective shopping.

That said, if you want to use Apple Pay to make payments at Five Below, whether in-store or online, I've compiled all the steps you need to take below.

How to Set up Apple Pay to Use at Five Below

Obviously, you'll need to set up your digital wallet before you can even use it for payments at Five Below—that's the logic.

Rest assured, this doesn't require you to download any additional apps. One great thing with Apple Pay is that it is already pre-installed on any supported iOS device.

While this might seem straightforward, you'll need to meet a few requirements to succeed with setting up the digital wallet on your device, which include:

• Residing in an Apple Pay-supported country.
• Having an Apple Pay-supported device.
• Holding a card that supports digital wallets like Apple Pay.
• Having set up Touch ID, Face ID, or a passcode for your iOS device.

If you already have all the aforementioned requirements, then you can proceed with setting up Apple Pay as follows:

1. Open the Wallet app on your device and tap the plus button.
2. Select "Debit or Credit Card" and tap "Continue."
3. Now, you'll have to enter your card details. The Wallet app lets you do this automatically by scanning your card or manually by typing your card details.
4. Once you're done adding your card details, you'll have to follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Things should go well if your card supports Apple Pay. And in a few cases, your financial institution or card issuer will require additional verification whenever you need to link your card to a digital wallet. If this happens to you, just provide the verification required to get things done at this level.

How to Use Apple Pay to Make Payments at Five Below

One good thing with using Apple Pay is that it streamlines the payment process wherever it is selected as a payment method, and Five Below is no exception.

The process is a straightforward one, but it will slightly differ depending on whether you're paying online or in-store.

So I'll take things step by step for both online and in-store payments.

Using Apple Pay to Make Online Payments at Five Below

To use Apple Pay for online payments at Five Below:

1. Open the Five Below app or website and select items as you normally do while making sure you're using an Apple Pay-supported device.
2. Proceed to the checkout when you're done.
3. You'll see a few payment methods available depending on both your device (whether it is eligible for Apple Pay) and your location.
4. Just select Apple Pay as your payment method.
5. Finally, you'll need to follow the onscreen instructions to make your payment with Apple Pay.

The complete process should take only a few minutes if you have already set up Apple Pay as shown earlier. 

Using Apple Pay to Make In-Store Payments at Five Below

Five Below is one of the few specialty stores that accept Apple Pay in-store, and using the digital wallet at the checkout is as easy as follows:

1. Shop your local Five Below just as you normally do and proceed to the checkout.
2. At the checkout, inform the cashier that you'll be paying through Apple Pay.
3. They'll show you a reader to scan, which, after scanning, you'll have to complete the payment on your phone.

Can I Get Cashback for Using Apple Pay at Five Below?

While Five Below itself already offers indirect cashbacks through its discount pricing, you can also get cashback for using Apple Pay for payments, but that will have to be through your Apple Cash.

Apple Cash is Apple Pay's virtual card that lets you make secure and flexible payments while letting you earn cashback of up to 3% for eligible purchases.

If you don't want to use your Apple Cash, but want to get cashback, you'll need to make sure that your credit card linked to your Wallet offers cashback for purchases made through digital wallets like Apple Pay.

Does Five Below Take Google Pay?

Yes, Google Pay is one of the digital wallets that Five Below accepts. This makes it easier for Android users to make convenient and secure payments directly from their phones.

Does Five Below Take Cash App?

No, Five Below does not take Cash App as of this writing. Maybe it will later, but as of now, it doesn't.

Does Five Below Take Afterpay, Klarna, or Zip?

No, Five Below does not take BNPL payment options (deferred payments, according to Five Below) like Afterpay, Klarna, or even Zip.

What Other Payment Methods Does Five Below Accept?

Besides Apple Pay, Five Below accepts a few more payment methods, and they'll be available depending on whether you're paying online or in-store.

Here's what Five Below accepts as online payment (when shopping with the mobile and web app):

• Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, & American Express
• Google Pay
• PayPal
• Five Below Gift Cards (Plastic or eGift Cards), Visa/MasterCard/AMEX Gift Cards

Here's what Five Below accepts as in-store payments:

• Cash
• Visa, MasterCard, Discover, & American Express

You can see for yourself that what's accepted online isn't necessarily accepted as an in-store payment. For example, PayPal is accepted online but not in-store
