Pay ApeCoin anywhere with your Glyph account — ready the moment you need it. No separate app, no separate sign-up.
01 — How it works
A payment, in three moves
The same three steps every time — whether it's a market stall or a checkout page, and whether or not you've used ApePay before.
01 — Ring it up
A merchant adds items to an order — at a register, or online. A QR appears, or a link goes out.
02 — Scan to approve
The buyer scans or taps through and approves with their Glyph account — ready instantly, with nothing to set up first.
03 — Confirmed, not assumed
The payment is independently verified before it's ever marked complete — never taken on a client's word.
02 — Built to be trusted
Verified. Not promised.
Your account is ready the moment you need it.
There's no separate app to download and no password to remember. Your ApePay activity shows up in the same Glyph account you're already signed into.
Checked, not just claimed.
A payment is only ever marked complete after it's independently confirmed — the sender, the recipient, and the amount are all checked first. No order is settled just because a phone or a register says it went through.
03 — Where to spend it
Anywhere ApePay runs
Grab coffee before the drop. Split a tab at trivia night. Cop a print from the artist's booth. Tip the DJ mid-set. Settle your half of the Uber. Pick up merch at the meetup.
In person or online — look for the ApePay mark at checkout.
04 — ApePay Rewards
Every purchase pays you back.
ApePay Points build up automatically every time you pay — no card to swipe, no app to open, nothing to opt into. For now, that's 1 Point for every APE spent, spendable across our merchant network, as APE back, or on rewards we're rolling out.
Earn on everything
1 ApePay Point for every APE you spend, credited the moment a payment clears.
Category multipliers
Coming soon: limited-time multipliers by spend category from merchants and partners.
Holder bonuses
Coming soon: hold a BAYC or partner-collection asset and your multiplier boosts automatically.
05 — Questions, answered
Before you ask
Do I need to set anything up before I can pay with ApePay?+
No. If you already have a Glyph account, there's nothing to download or set up in advance.
Does it cost extra to use ApePay?+
Any fee will be shown clearly before you approve a payment — never hidden, never added afterward. Final pricing hasn't been announced yet.
How do I know a payment actually went through?+
Every payment is independently checked before it's marked complete — the sender, the recipient, and the amount are all verified. It's never marked successful just because a device claims it was.
What does a merchant need to start accepting ApePay?+
A Glyph account, and a few minutes to set up a store — no card reader, no payment processor account, no technical experience required.
When does ApePay launch?+
Merchants can get set up right now — see "Become a merchant" above. Consumer payments are rolling out right behind that.
