Spektrix Enables Apple Pay and Google Pay for Arts and Culture Websites

We’ve all been there.

You’ve finally navigated that tricky ‘enter your details’ form and are ready to make a spontaneous purchase on your mobile. Victory is within reach, but you can’t find your debit card anywhere in the house. You were certain it was in the top drawer of that unit… And if it takes more than a few minutes to locate it, you’ll likely abandon the transaction and continue watching Netflix.

Apple Pay has over 227 million users, and Google Pay boasts around 100 million. Source.

We have exciting news for those looking to quickly purchase tickets for that theatre show they’ve been eager to see, the latest art exhibition, or perhaps even an opera. Spektrix clients can now accept Apple Pay and Google Pay directly from their websites, ensuring faster and more convenient transactions. Read more about how Apple Pay and Google Pay can grow your revenue and your audiences.

Moreover, stored cards are automatically updated upon expiration, reducing interruptions and maintaining smooth operations. This streamlined workflow simplifies payment processes, while the end-to-end support from the Spektrix team ensures smooth integration and ongoing assistance, allowing arts organisations to focus on delivering exceptional cultural experiences.

This development recognises the recent rapid shift in consumer behaviour, as we all strive to save time with simplified checkout processes on our mobile devices. We see this trend increasingly reflected in website briefs, and we are confident it will broaden the universal appeal of Spektrix within the sector.
