Go Apple Go!
if ApplePay wasn’t good for customers then why has it been so wholeheartedly embraced by other banking institutions globally.
They are are quite literally bankers with a capital W!
Walmart's stock went down 10% today. Let them keep choosing not to accept Electronic Payments like Apple Pay.
Walgreens Pharmacy accepts Apple Pay, CVS does not. I use Walgreens, Toys & Babies R Us, Macys etc...
Apple should promote the stores that accept Apple Pay.
But then I looked her terminal and noticed the "Veriphone" logo and then noticed the small lights in a row above the display. That usually means the terminal takes contactless cards and devices. Sometimes they have to know what to do on their end to set up such a transaction, but it's worked more often than not for me.
I use my Apple Watch far more often than my iPhone.
Apple need to work with the terminal suppliers to get the service clearly visible.
If you want to see great ApplePay adoption and you know there are a multitude of mom and pop shops that accept ApplePay that you frequent then go ahead and give them a decal or two they can put on their register and window/door with their other digital payment decals. Apple gives them away upon request and the booklet comes with many decals.
What happens if you use ApplePay with a credit card selected? Does the reader know the difference?
Thanks for continuing to post this. I have been doing that as well, but I’ve also found that I have to be sure to give the decals to the right person. In my experience, if I give them to someone who is excited about Apple Pay then there is a higher likelihood of the decals being put out than if I give them to someone who couldn’t care less.
Then there’s this sub shop where the same 2 people know about it (because of me) still get confused despite having done it with me a couple dozen times. It’s literally the exact same process they do for any card until you get to the card but they always get stumped at their typical routine of inputting the amount into the reader. I feel like an army of one.
This is precisely the opposite of what we’re seeing in the UK.
NFC readers are still on the increase at the counter, and they’re now taking over on busses, at train stations, car parks…
It’s really got things moving on the London Underground, but you have to tap out with the same card you used to tap in, so make sure the phone doesn’t run out of juice while you’re traveling.
