If you are a fan of sneakers, then you must know about the Nike SNKRS app.
I was new to the App, and it took me more than 30 minutes to set up and purchase the item.
I thought I to share with you “how to set up the SNKRS app and purchase using Apple Pay.
Why Should I install SNKRS App on my Apple iPhone?
I discovered the following benefits of the SNKRS App.
1. Stories
I found the Stories feature to be the best feature of the App. It lets us have about the stories, origins, and history of Nike products. The content really makes the users satisfied with the Nike branding.
2. Get updated about the latest events.
The App delivers information about upcoming events and launches. After installing the SNKRS app, I found out that Nike is going to hold “U.S. Nike Air Max Day” on the 23rd of March, 2023.
Also, I was looking for the latest Nike SB Dunk High collab. Although Instagram and Social media were giving hints, I got the entire story covered by the SNKRS App.
3. Notifications about the releases
The notification is impressive for use. You get updates about upcoming products, news, and videos as notifications.
Not only seeing them but sharing them among friends will be available for you.
I have been using the SNKRS app for more than 04 weeks, and I feel that the App makes me feel that I am a step ahead.
4. Discounts
If you use Apple Pay to purchase Nike products, you will be able to have a 3% discount for every purchase. Regarding 2022, Apple Offers a 6% discount for purchases.
5. Purchase and track using the same App
Although the Nike platform has facilitated purchasing and tracking through the web browser, the App is the perfect solution.
I have used both the website and the SNKRS app, and I feel that the SNKRS app is more convenient.
I purchased a Nike Tanjun and a Nike Airforce 270 a few weeks ago, and I could track them until they reached me. Shipping information, billing information, and the quicker purchasing process are the benefits I enjoyed.
As an Apple user, you will always be able to use your Apple Pay for purchases. Other than that, PayPal, Credit cards, and Debit cards can be used for purchases.
6. Draws
I found a specific feature known as “Randomized Draw,” which allows the users to enter to draw. The SNKRS users get to stand chances for the draws, which grants Nike Key releases.
Can I Use Apple Pay to Purchase Items On SNKRS App?
Yes, you can now purchase products using Apple Pay. It means you can see the stories related to the Nike product and purchase the same item using your Apple device.
I had the same pleasing feeling as soon as I Installed the Nike SNKRS app on my Apple device. I browsed several products on the App and wanted to purchase a Nike product.
