Home Depot had come under fire from those who wanted to pay for items via Apple Pay.

Furious shoppers had urged the chain to adapt and move into the 21^st century.

The company had consistently told shoppers it was evaluating its payment methods but has now made a change.

“We have rolled out contactless, including Apple Pay, as a payment option at all U.S. stores,” a spokesperson told The U.S. Sun.

Rumors on whether the chain was about to roll out Apple Pay had been swirling for weeks.

The company admitted it understood customers’ frustration over the payment method issue.

But, a spokesperson warned that no decision had been made.

They previously told customers to continue using traditional payment method options.

The payment method policy change means shoppers can pay for goods using the card stored in their Apple wallets.

Customers will no longer be red-faced if they accidentally leave their debit or credit cards at home.

Home Depot is not the only retailer that has recently rolled out forms of contactless payment.

Grocery chain H-E-B has started rolling out Apple and Google Pay across its stores.

But bosses have warned that the rollout will take time.

Shoppers will be able to use tap-to-pay services at the checkout and in pharmacies, but not at fuel pumps.

Apple Pay has not been rolled out at Walmart supermarkets or Sam’s Club warehouses.
