Disagree. Apple Pay charges much higher rates than competing payment processors. It benefits everyone except Apple to make the change. It is equally convenient to use a different app w/ NFC.
Higher rates? Do customers pay more for using Apple Pay than any other solution where you are from?
I know shops pay a fee, but never heard it to be on the customer to pay.
Well but guess where the merchants get their money to pay for that expense. If it increases the business's cost, it ends up being paid by the final consumer.
Apple Pay doesn’t increase the business’s cost.
