Yes, HomeGoods does take Apple Pay.
It was confirmed by HomeGoods' tweet on X when responding to a customer's question on the topic, and in their words:
Hi, thanks for reaching out. Yes, our stores accept Apple Pay.
As you can see from the image above, the company confirms that its stores accept the digital wallet.
You know what this means, right?
Well, it simply means that you can use Apple Pay to pay for your purchases at any of HomeGoods store locations, and if you're wondering how to do it, I've compiled the steps you need to take below.
How to Set Up Apple Pay to Use at HomeGoods
You can't use Apple Pay without setting it up right?
It doesn't make sense.
Well, while a good number of you already have this set up, I still believe there are some who have not yet set up the digital wallet and just needed a confirmation that their favorite store accepts it before doing so.
You got your confirmation, right? Now, it's time to set up Apple Pay for HomeGoods.
The good thing is that you don't need to download an extra app to get this done because you already have Wallet (a pre-installed app that lets you manage Apple Pay) on your iPhone.
You'll just need a few extra things to set up Apple Pay, which include:
- An Apple Pay-supported device.
- A card that supports digital wallets like Apple Pay.
- Touch ID, Face ID, or a passcode enabled for your device.
After making sure you have the aforementioned requirements, you can proceed with setting up Apple Pay as follows:
- Open the Wallet app on your device and tap the plus button.
- Select "Debit or Credit Card" and tap "Continue."
- 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.
- Once you're done adding your card details, you'll have to follow the onscreen instructions to complete the setup.
If your card issuer doesn't require extra verifications to set up your card with digital wallets, you should have it linked to your Wallet right away.
However, even if your card still requires this, you can just complete the verification to make sure everything works just fine.
Using Apple Pay at HomeGoods
If you are at this point, I strongly believe that you already have Apple Pay set up.
Well, what you're left to do now is to use the digital wallet for making payments at HomeGoods stores, and to do so:
- Go to the HomeGoods store locator and enter your address or zip code to find a nearby store.
- After you've located a nearby store, just click on "Directions" to get directions to the store.
- Once you arrive at the store, just shop as you normally do and pick up the items you want to purchase, and go to the cashier.
- At the cashier's desk, tell them that you want to pay with Apple Pay.
- They'll provide you with an NFC reader, which you'll have to scan and complete the payment on your phone.
Be sure to inquire about the store's support for Apple Pay immediately as you arrive at the store, because we never know when a store stops supporting a digital payment service.
Pretty easy, right? Well, that's how things go when stores offer direct support for a payment service.
Can I Get Cashback for Using Apple Pay at HomeGoods?
Yes, you can get cashback for using Apple Pay at HomeGoods, but that will only be possible if you use your Apple Cash instead. The Apple Cash lets you get cashback of up to 3% on any eligible purchase. When I talk of eligible purchases here, I simply mean those that allow you to use the virtual card as a payment method.
There's still, however, another way to get cashback with Apple Pay at HomeGoods. That's if your card issuer offers the cashback feature for purchases made through digital wallets. The amount of cashback you'll get in this case will totally depend on your card issuer.
What Other Payment Method Does HomeGoods Accept?
Apple Pay isn't the only payment method available at HomeGoods.
That said, HomeGoods accepts most credit and debit cards from major card issuers.
But that's not just all as they are one of the stores that offer payment plans through Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) services like Klarna and SetPay, with each having its own terms for repayments.
Perhaps, they've catered to offer these BNPL services following their increasing trend in the e-commerce sector.
Final Thoughts
If you're looking to get furnishing items at a discounted price, HomeGoods should definitely be your bet—and it is good to know that you can pay for your items through one of the safest and convenient payment methods in the market, Apple Pay.
