For beauty enthusiasts and tech-savvy shoppers alike looking for a seamless way to check out at Sephora, the question of whether Sephora takes Apple Pay is a recurring one.
However, the answer is kind of disappointing—Sephora does not take Apple Pay as a payment method, at least for now—though the digital wallet was once accepted at Sephora stores.
While Sephora previously accepted Apple Pay as a payment method, it stopped doing so several months ago. This sudden change has caused some customers to express frustration in the Sephora Community.

Why Doesn't Sephora Accept Apple Pay?
Despite the different reasons available through different sources on the web, Sephora itself hasn't made any announcement reporting why they don't accept Apple Pay.
However, I believe Sephora is looking to focus on the other available payment methods since they believe their customers are more likely to use these available options for making payments.
