Topper by Uphold is a web3 payment API that allows users to buy over 200 cryptocurrencies within any project using local payment methods.
Recently, it announced the integration of Apple Pay and Google Pay to provide its users with more convenience, security, and accessibility when indulging in any crypto-related transactions using their mobile devices.
Apple Pay and Google Pay are widely accepted mobile payment systems that enable users to make contactless payments using near-field communication (NFC) technology.
They are both widely known for allowing users to store their payment cards, loyalty cards, tickets, and other documents digitally in their wallets.
Also, both systems are considered to be secure, as they use biometric authentication and tokenization to protect user data and transactions
By integrating Apple Pay and Google Pay, Topper by Uphold hopes to attract more users and projects to its platform, as well as to increase its approval rates and revenue.
According to Robin O’Connell, the CEO of Enterprise at Uphold, the integration will make it easier for users to buy crypto with just a few taps, without having to enter their card details or go through lengthy verification processes.
He also said that the integration will benefit web3 projects that use Topper by Uphold as their payment gateway, as they will be able to offer their customers more payment choices and a smoother user experience.
Topper by Uphold is a product of Uphold, a web3 financial platform that serves over 10 million users in 184 countries, across 200 currencies and commodities.

Uphold also offers a $50,000 seed fund for each team that joins its Future3 Campus, a web3 innovation incubator that provides training, mentorship, and funding for aspiring web3 developers.
The integration of Apple Pay and Google Pay is expected to boost the adoption and development of Topper as well as Uphold’s other products and services.
