In reply to Jim McPherson.

That's right so the article should be stated that retailers are adding support for tap and go payments not apple pay because you simply can't support apple pay because it dosnt exisist
It's a marketing term

Retailers literatly can't do anything special to support apple pay they can only support paywave or paypass

iPhone payments support is simply a side affect of supporting those industry standards

So in effect retailers are supporting paypass and paywave and not apple pay
