Does KFC accept Apple Pay?

Yes, for orders on kfc.com and in the KFC app. KFC's FAQ says Apple Pay and Google Pay are both offered at checkout, and its app listings name credit and debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. KFC does not say which wallets restaurant card readers take, so tap to pay at the counter depends on the restaurant.

Problems with a kfc.com or app delivery go to KFC guest care, or call Delivery Customer Support on 1-866-421-9360. Orders placed through a delivery partner's own website or app are handled by that partner.
