1 in 4 customers use Apple Pay or Google Pay. All it takes is a single click or a tap of their phone to pay. No wallet-fumbling, no need to find and enter credit card information, no friction.
Our users asked for the ability to accept these payment methods, so we delivered. It’s just one of the ways we’re innovating for you.

“I had experience with card cracking in a previous role, but didn't have anything as robust or good as Spektrix to tackle those payment attempts. We ended up having to disable the online recurring payments fund at my previous job and couldn't find a solution, so never put it back online.”
- Luke Mallison, Chief Financial Officer at The Wardrobe Theatre
“When we were on WorldPay, whenever anybody was doing a chargeback, we were getting charged $50 as a fee. We didn’t know that – it was invisible to us. So another nice thing about Spektrix Payments is that we’re able to actually see these things now. We can dispute them, or we can at least know that they’re coming in.”
- Jeanna Vella, Director of Marketing at Cincy Shakes
