Lowe's, a major home improvement retail chain, has begun to accept Apple Pay as a form of payment in its U.S.-based stores, as reported by ChanceHMiller and Amber M. Neely. The move comes nearly four years after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which heightened public concern over germ transmission through touchscreens and increased the adoption of contactless payment methods like QR codes. The decision by Lowe's to implement Apple Pay places it ahead of its main competitor, Home Depot, in offering this payment option to customers.
