Apple Pay & Google Pay:
Simple, easy & quick

Win more customers thanks to quick and easy payment processing between ticket selection and ticket purchase. eos.uptrade now offers Apple Pay & Google Pay as a payment method.

... and this is how it works:

The two innovative payment methods make purchasing tickets even quicker and more secure for users - without registration and login, without entering personal data and payment details. With this method, Apple and Google offer an alternative for both non-registered and registered users when it comes to cashless payment. The payment methods are therefore not only an option for occasional local users, but also for tourists and business travellers who find regular re-registration and entering payment methods in apps annoying. This new payment method is the solution. Users no longer need to register or login in the eos.mobileShop or with the payment provider, nor do they have to enter their name to personalise the ticket. This information is verified in advance by depositing a credit or debit card in the user’s Apple Wallet or Google account. Depending on the device, users can confirm the payment in Apple Pay through facial or fingerprint recognition or by entering the device passcode. Depending on the configuration, the CVC is still necessary when using Google Pay.

Privacy and data protection are paramount for the providers of these payment methods. Apple Pay does not store the credit card numbers themselves on the devices, but only encrypted and device-specific tokens in the secure element of the device. Only if a payment is confirmed by Face ID, Touch ID or by entering the device passcode, a transaction code is generated in the secure element of the device. This transaction code is necessary for users to actually carry out any payments. Google Pay transmits the payment data stored in the Google account in encrypted form to the Payment Service Provider (PSP). Unlike traditional payment methods that can be stored in the user account of the system, for example by generating a credit card token specifically for one instance, Apple Pay and Google Pay enable users to use the payment methods stored in their Apple Wallet or Google account. As a result, users only need to store a payment method once and can then use it with all apps, websites and shops that use Apple Pay or Google Pay.
