Coinbase Onramp Adds Apple Pay for Easy Crypto Purchases in Third-Party Apps

Coinbase has added Apple Pay support to its Onramp payment feature for third-party apps, making it easier for iPhone owners to buy cryptocurrency from their devices. Coinbase Onramp simplifies the process of users turning fiat currencies like dollars into cryptocurrencies, which can be a lengthy and complex procedure. This integration with Apple Pay is aimed at reducing this friction and speeding up the purchase process to as little as 30 seconds.

The addition of Apple Pay support will also benefit developers by opening up access to over 60 million US users of Apple Pay, and on-ramping of users using US dollars is free. Apps that already use Coinbase Onramp do not need to make changes, as Apple Pay will automatically be shown as an option for purchases.
