Does Macy’s Accept Samsung Pay?

Macy’s is one of the top retail companies in the world today. With more than a century of history, Macy’s has become a colossus for jewelry, shoes, clothing for men and women, furniture, and much more. Although the company seems to struggle, it remains a go-to brand for quality products. If you are one of the shoppers at Macy’s, this article explains whether Samsung Pay is one of the payment methods at Macy’s. 

Does Macy’s Accept Samsung Pay?

Yes. Macy’s accepts Samsung Pay. Once you have set up your credit and debit card in your Samsung Pay account, you can use it to pay when you shop at Macy’s in-store, on the Macy’s app, and via their website. However, there are certain limitations when you use Samsung Pay at Macy’s

Samsung Pay is a budding payment method and there are not so many stores that allow their customers to use it. The ones that do, like Macy’s, exhibit certain bottlenecked challenges. Users miss out on a lot of privileges and experience so many error messages in an effort to use Samsung Pay while shopping at Macy’s. 

If you plan on using Samsung Pay while shopping at Macy’s, I have highlighted some problems you may face doing so. 

Problems with using Samsung Pay at Macy’s

Error Messages

Incorrect merchant URL is one of the most prevalent error messages you’d get when you shop at Macy’s. There’s no known fix for this error message. It is difficult to even decide where they error comes from: Macy’s or Samsung Pay. 

No Access to Macy’s Wallet

The Macy’s Wallet feature helps customers buy stuff from the company faster and easier. If you are going to use Samsung Pay, you won’t be able to use the Macy’s Wallet option. The wallet lets you add a credit card and make payment easily from the Macy’s app, online and in-store. 

Tuxedo Rentals

You cannot pay for Tuxedo rentals with Samsung Pay at Macy’s. I was surprised when I found out but that’s one exclusion that comes with contactless payments at Macy’s, including Apple Pay. 

Registry Purchases 

Wedding registry purchases can not be paid for using Samsung Pay. You’d have to rely on other payment methods at the store to make payments for registry purchases. And that brings us to the other payment methods accepted at Macy’s.

The list below contains the Macy’s payment methods you can use either on Macys.com, Macy’s store, or the Macy’s App:

1. Macy’s card
