This department store has in-store terminals that support contactless payments, so you can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other mobile wallets to shop at Kohl’s. This process works the same way as it does at other stores, so you’ll need to set up your mobile wallet and add a payment card to it and then ensure that your smartphone is unlocked to use Apple Pay at this store.

You can also use international credit cards to shop at this department store. While any store that accepts Discover can use its payment network to accept its partners’ cards as well, it’s ultimately up to the retailer to decide whether it wants to accept international credit cards and which cards it will accept. Department stores are more likely to accept these cards than other businesses.

You can use all of the popular BNPL apps at Kohl’s, which is noteworthy. While many stores have announced support for one or two of these apps, it’s less common for a store to support all of them. This is a department store that sells clothing, though, so I’d expect it to support BNPL as a payment option.

Like other department stores, this department store also has its own store credit card, the Kohl’s card. This is a rewards card so if you have it you’ll earn additional rewards at Kohl’s that you wouldn’t receive if you paid with other credit cards. Kohl’s also sells branded gift cards that you can use to shop at its stores.

More Background Information On Kohl’s

One of the things that distinguishes Kohl’s from other department stores is its partnership with the very popular beauty brand Sephora. Sephora sells lots of unique beauty products that aren’t available elsewhere. It does have its own stores in the US as well, but if you don’t live near one of them you can still find them at Kohl’s.

There are a few other department stores that also have relationships with premium beauty product brands. For example, the department store Macy’s acquired Bluemercury so now you can buy its products at Macy’s if you don’t live near a Bluemercury store. Bluemercury has lots of stores in Southern California but if you live in other parts of the country you might not see its stores in nearby malls.

Like other traditional department stores, another thing that Kohl’s is known for is its clearance sales. Sometimes Kohl’s holds Gold Star clearance sales where you can get very large discounts on selected products. You can purchase its merchandise at discounts of as much as 80 percent during these sales events.

More Department Stores Where You Can Shop With Apple Pay

Going to the discount department store Ross is like going on a treasure hunt. While Kohl’s lists its merchandise online, you have to visit a Ross store to see what it has in stock.

The high-end department store Talbots sells women’s clothing and accessories. It stocks lots of petite clothes and its stores also have bright red doors.

The discount department store Old Navy is part of the Gap family. Like Kohl’s, it frequently announces sales that give you opportunities to buy clothing for even lower prices.

You can buy fashionable clothing as well as cosmetics and other household products at the off-price department store T.J. Maxx.

The discount department store Burlington was originally known as Burlington Coat Factory. Now it operates several other departments that sell many other products besides coats, although you can still buy coats there.

You can visit the specialized department store Tillys to buy clothing and other products for athletes who participate in extreme sports. A lot of its merchandise is designed for outdoor sports like surfing, skateboarding, and snowboarding. This store also sells skateboards and snowboards.
