- Dayshine 5y agoWhy on earth wouldn't you be able to use Apple to pay (with the normal 2-3% transaction fee)? Does Apple not support paying in arbitrary websites like Google Pay?
- djrogers 5y agoYes they do support that.
- hraedon 5y agoTwo separate things at play here. Parent is saying they trust Apple to manage their payment options, and since third parties have to go through Apple they don't have to trust a bunch of individual companies to do things right. Apple Pay is one of those payment options, but if you have to trust a bunch of third parties to properly manage your information the specific form of payment doesn't matter much.
