Due to COVID-19 and businesses seeking contactless less transactions, do you think those who don't yet provide Pay for their customers will now seek to provide it?

[wenrob]

I sure hope so! Though Smith’s (Kroger) by us has gone with the QR code thing like Walmart which is disappointing.

Where, in the U.S.?
I’m not sure it will have much of an affect unless people demand it and it seems, here, to be a slow process.

[BreakingKayfabe]

Maybe or maybe not.

There’s a possibility but also a drawback as I noticed myself using my Apple Card instead of my phone due to wearing a mask and having a long Alphanumeric passcode and not wanting to remove my mask at the checkout

I would hope so...and that would be a small positive in the midst of all the COVID negativity!

This is a very good point.
For those phones with Face ID, if you are wearing a mask it becomes an issue.

For my geo area, I don’t see contactless payments expanding, simply because it is already fairly present whether it’s Apple Pay, Interac Flash, Paypass or Paywave.

I do use Apple Pay slightly more. I already preferred it to other methods, but I always try it first now.

It would be nice since I see on a log of commercials of stores offering "contactless payment".

[Mr Segundus]

God I hope so. Apple Pay should be ubiquitous at this point.

I realized that too when I was at Target today. I had to pull my mask down to authenticate with Apple Pay at checkout and I didn't want to do that. This pandemic has made me miss the fingerprint sensor. I hope the iPhone 12 will have both FaceID and an in-display FPS.

Sounds like someone needs an Apple Watch.

It would be nice that more places start to accept Apple Pay. There are only a few places around me where I can use it.
Where I can, I use my Apple Watch for the contactless payments so I don't have to pull the mask off.

Pretty much all the grocery stores in my area do Apple Pay. Pretty much all the coffee places. Pretty much all the delivery services too. I am set.
