We are no longer going to accept non-card transactions aka mobile wallets for purchases in the store. No Apple Pay, Google Pay/Wallet, Samsung Pay, Chase Pay, MasterCard PayPass, PayPal, Visa Checkout, etc.
There’s too much fraud and no protection for us in cases of fraud. Crooks get stolen credit card numbers off the Dark Web and add them to their own Apple Pay. So it looks legit because it’s on their phone. But as soon as the real card holder tells Apple Pay that it was fraud, they take the money away from us. And we are out the merchandise as well.
Once they figure out how to make Apple Pay fraud-proof, we can start accepting it again. In the meantime, the customers must have their actual physical credit cards in hand. Most people still do carry at least one credit card to use where they can’t use Apple Pay etc.
