I’ve got the same experience as many other posters here and have been buying less from Amazon lately. One thing I haven’t seen people talking about much is how profound and impact Apple Pay is for direct online retail. I used to find products on a company website and then go to Amazon to buy, mainly so I didn’t need to create yet another account, and because of prime shipping and Amazon’s return policy. The amazing thing with Apple Pay is how much it creates an even better purchasing experience than Amazon’s “one-click,” while being open to any merchant. You don’t have to create an account, put in your shipping or billing info, or do anything really. You just click “buy with Apple Pay,” and click to confirm. Between that, and offering “free shipping” (just include it in the product price), and a good return policy, I see retailers being much more able to sell direct and compete with Amazon’s fading reputation.

In my experience apple pay is few and far between, and firefox fills out my billing anyway.

> One thing I haven’t seen people talking about much is how profound and impact Apple Pay is for direct online retail. I'd love to use Apple Pay, but neither of the credit cards I use for online shopping (Capital One for CAD purchases, Home Trust for non-CAD) support it.

  Is there something special/different about Apple Pay for online shopping versus physical stores? My Capital One card loaded to my iPhone has worked with Apple Pay in physical stores since the inception of the feature. I use it literally every day. In the last few days I used it at McDonald's and at Whole Foods.

I would not be able to use Apple Pay at physical stores as I don't have an iPhone. Capital One Canada doesn't support Apple Pay of any variety.
