Is an internet connection necessary for using Apple Pay or Google Pay in Azerbaijani establishments?

Updated April 22, 2026

Yes, for seamless transactions, an active internet connection from your eSIMFlyer is beneficial. While credit cards are widely accepted across Baku, particularly in tourist-friendly areas and at the airport, many modern payment terminals rely on a data connection for instant transaction processing and notifications for your digital wallets like Apple Pay or Google Pay. This ensures you can effortlessly pay for meals in Nizami Street or souvenirs without any connectivity hiccups.
