Apple Pay

Apple Pay is a mobile payment service by Apple Inc. that enables users to make payments using iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Mac. It also employs NFC technology for in-person transactions and supports online payments within apps and websites. Authentication is achieved through Face ID, Touch ID, or a passcode, ensuring secure transactions. Apple Pay is accepted at numerous retailers and online merchants worldwide.
