Meijer is one of the most popular grocery and multi-goods stores in the USA with a whopping 240 supercenters across Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
If you’re a regular shopper there or are planning on being, then you might want to know what payment options are available to you.
We love using electronic payment methods such as Apple, Google, and Samsung Pay as they are fast, secure, and extremely easy to use.
These payment options are now commonplace with other stores like Lidl using Apple Pay and Walmart with its own payment system “Walmart Pay“.
In this article, we will look at whether Meijer accepts Apple Pay, whether that be in-store, on their app, online, or at their gas stations.

Does Meijer’s Website Take Apple Pay?
You can now make an online order for your groceries through Meijer’s website once you have set up an account with them. This allows you to purchase goods for delivery or for pickup.
However, we couldn’t find an option to pay with Apple Pay and could only see the option to pay with a credit/debit card and to use any coupons you have for Meijer.
Does Meijer’s App and Shop & Scan Take Apple Pay?
We couldn’t find an option to pay with Apple Pay in Meijer’s app.
However, if you use the smart checkout function (“shop & scan”) of the app, this allows you to scan items into your shopping cart as you walk around the store, then at the end of your shop, you can just present the app to the self-checkout, scan the code and your items transfer onto the self-checkout screen where you can then use Apple Pay to pay for your goods.

Should You Use Apple Pay at Meijer?
Yes, we love using Apple Pay and other electronic wallets.
Apple Pay offers a great deal of convenience that other payment methods do not.
It allows you to save multiple cards in one convenient place so you can use whichever card you wish at the drop of a hat.
Apple Pay is also extremely secure as it offers multi-factor authentication that other payment methods like chip and pin cards, cash, or contactless cards can’t offer.
The only downside is that your phone clearly needs to have some battery left and our experience of Apple phones is that the battery life isn’t the best.
Clearly, you also need to have it set up on your phone and this may take some time if you have any hoops to jump through with your card issuer.
Final Thoughts
We enjoy using Apple Pay very much for its speed, security, and convenience.
We recommend using it wherever possible including at Meijer.
Hopefully, Meijer will roll it out for use on its website too in due course but for now, you’ll need to make do with using it in-store and at its gas stations.
Meijer provides numerous payment methods to use within its stores in commonplace with its major competitors like Walmart.
