The Leboncoin peer-to-peer sales site has appeared on iPhoneover 13 years ago. Since then, the company has continued to grow. With almost30 million unique monthly visitors, it is the undisputed leader in the second-hand sales market in France. For comparison, Vinted receives 16 million.
A little memory of the beginnings of Leboncoin on iOS:

Previously, if you wanted to make a purchase through the platform, it was necessary to set up an appointment with the seller, to be sure not to encounter any unpleasant surprises. It was of course possible to choose trust and opt for postal delivery, but this was not a very reassuring method of operation. Indeed, there was no guarantee that the package would be sent after payment was received by the seller, which was not very reassuring.
But little by little, payment methods have evolved and the application now offers numerous security guarantees. Leboncoin even offers the possibility of making payments in 3 or 4 installments by bank card. On the other hand, until recently it was impossible to make a purchase via Apple Pay.
Finally available!
After many years of not supporting the Apple firm's payment method, Leboncoin has taken the plunge, as the company confirmed on its website. However, there are a few conditions to be able to benefit from it, here they are:
Supported devices
- iPhone with Face ID or Touch ID (except iPhone 5s)
- iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad, iPad mini with Touch ID or Face ID
Payment cards accepted
- Bank card
- Visa
- Mastercard
If you meet all the criteria, then you will be able to pay for your next transaction on Leboncoin using Apple Pay! However, it is worth noting that not all articles support this payment method yet. We can imagine that the functionality iscurrently being implementedand will be expanded as time goes by.
Furthermore, if you are a regular at Leboncoin and you value your privacy, do not hesitate toconsult our guideto prevent the application from having access to your sensitive data (location, purchase history, search history, etc.).
