Does Zaxbys take Apple Pay? There’s no single answer for every restaurant, because each franchise store chooses its payment setup. Here’s what we could confirm and how to check.
Quick answers
- Does Zaxbys accept Apple Pay?
- We found no official chain-wide statement. Many stores accept contactless payment, but check with yours.
- What can I use in the Zaxbys app?
- The app supports cards and gift cards. Its store listing doesn’t mention Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Zaxbys payment methods in the restaurant
Most fast-food counters take cash and cards, and many have tap-to-pay readers. Because stores are independently owned, what’s accepted can differ, including mobile wallets and specific card brands. Ask your restaurant if you plan to pay a specific way.
Does Zaxbys take Apple Pay or Google Pay?
We couldn’t find an official Zaxbys statement on Apple Pay or Google Pay. If your store’s reader accepts contactless cards, phone wallets often work too, but the only way to know is to ask the store or look for the contactless logo at the register.
Paying in the Zaxbys app
The official Zaxbys app lets you pay for order-ahead with a card or a Zaxbys gift card, and scan to pay in the store. Paying in the app also earns Zax Rewardz points.
Gift cards
Zaxbys gift cards work in restaurants and in the app. See our gift card guide for how to check a balance safely.

Tips for paying quickly at the drive-thru
- Have your card or phone ready before you reach the window.
- If you plan to use a phone wallet, say so when you order so the team can tell you if it works.
- Scan your rewards code at the window before you pay, so the points are added to that order.
- For large group orders, pay ahead in the app to save time at pickup.

Paying for large or catering orders
For big group orders and catering, paying ahead in the app or on zaxbys.com is usually simplest, because the order is ready when you arrive. If your company needs an invoice or tax-exempt purchase, ask the store directly before ordering, as each franchise handles this its own way.
See our catering menu guide for platter options and the family meals page for Zax Packz.
Why payment options differ by store
Each franchise owner picks its own card processor and register hardware. One store may have just upgraded to tap-to-pay readers while another nearby has not. Airport, campus and travel-center locations can also follow the venue’s payment rules. That is why a single chain-wide answer is rare, and why we point you to your own store instead of guessing. If you confirm what your store accepts, tell us on the contact page and we will note it with the date.
