As you can see, Apple Pay allows you to make mobile payments as well as payments in applications.
From June 19, Apple Pay operates in Poland. Someone may ask why I did not mention Germany in the article. In Poland, mobile or non-cash transactions account for around 85-90% of all transactions. For Apple, this is probably one of the main factors from which they decide to enter the service in a given country. Germany is a powerful economy in Europe that does not own ApplePay because more than 74-83% of transactions are cash transactions. From Apple's point of view, the German market today is not profitable to introduce ApplePay there.
Thanks for your time.
