Cole Haan Launches Apple Pay Into Mobile Application Experience

Cole Haan, the iconic American lifestyle footwear and accessories brand, launches Apple Pay™ within their mobile shopping application, allowing customers to make purchases with one touch. Cole Haan is the first lifestyle brand to adopt this contactless payment technology within a single branded application experience.

Consumers will now have the opportunity to experience the ease of effortless, user-centric and secure one touch payment with Apple Pay on the mobile shopping app. Cole Haan partnered with leading mobile commerce platform, PredictSpring, to build the Cole Haan iPhone, iPad and Android mobile apps, providing consumers with an elevated brand experience through visually rich user-generated content. Notable features include Shop the Look, allowing consumers to shop directly from the Cole Haan Instagram feed, as well as geo-fencing technology that alerts consumers to nearby Cole Haan stores.
