Paid in two taps, not sixteen digits: Apple Pay for your takeaway website so more baskets finish as orders

Paid in two taps, not sixteen digits: Apple Pay for your takeaway website so more baskets finish as orders

Friday, 6.40pm. Basket's full, £27 of food. Then the checkout asks for a 16-digit card number, and the card's in a coat in the hall. They close the tab.

Apple Pay for your takeaway website takes that moment away. Nearly two in three people in the UK are registered for a mobile wallet (UK Finance, August 2026). They're used to paying with a double-click.

Paid in two taps, on your own website

Your GofoodPOS checkout takes card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The customer doesn't type a card number, and the money goes to your own Stripe account.

  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Card
  • Cash if you want it

Apple Pay and Google Pay sit next to card at your checkout

With GofoodPOS online payments, the customer picks their food, taps Apple Pay or Google Pay, and it's paid. No card number, no expiry date, no hunting for a wallet. We set it up with you.

Three more finished orders a week is £4,212 a year

The average UK takeaway order is £27 (Aqua survey). Say 3 customers a week who used to give up at the card form now pay. That's £81 a week, or £4,212 a year, as an example.

The big family order has more ways to pay

You can also switch on Klarna, Clearpay, Revolut Pay and Pay by Bank. Which ones is up to you. Cash on delivery or collection stays too. If half your customers pay cash at the door, leave it on.

The money lands in your own Stripe account

Paid orders go straight to your own Stripe account. If something's wrong with an order, you refund all or part of it from your dashboard.

Regulars skip the address as well

With a customer account on your own ordering page, their address is saved and last week's order comes back in one tap. We wrote about that in getting repeat customers.
