  • Study: Apple Pay at 9% adoption in US, lags far behind PayPal and traditional payment meth...


    I guess we’re lucky up here in Canada. Almost everyone accepts tap & pay (which means they accept Apple Pay by default). Two big holdouts are Home Depot and Walmart, which is why I refuse to shop there.
    Yes, very lucky. In Canada all transactions go through Interac, so since they were onboard with Apple Pay from the start, by default mostly all stores that accept tap accept Apple Pay. I just wish they're up the default limit beyond the 100$. In Australia I was using Apple Pay for upwards of 500$. (My understanding is that Australia is like Canada in that there are only a handful of transaction providers.)

    Home Depot's POS don't accept tap in general, not necessarily excluding Apple Pay. However, I noticed that in their renovated stores with the new check-outs, their POS now accepts tap — and Apple Pay.

    Jut today I bought dinner, and paid with Apple Pay on my iPhone, but Apple pay didn't let me specify my tip on the Apple Pay/Wallet interface. I had to use the portable machine to add a tip. How many more years do we have to wait for this obvious important functionality?
    I use Apple Pay to buy dinner and easily tip. The server puts the amount on the machine, passes it to me, I add in the tip, press OK, then when it asks me to insert or tap my card, I do the Apple Pay transaction and done. Apple Pay doesn't replace the terminal, it replaces the credit card itself.
