Have you literally done zero research into this?

I’ve clearly done far more research than you have

The vast majority of merchants in the US

No they don’t. The vast majority don’t even accept Apple, Google, or Samsung Pay, credit cards only.

Doesn’t that strike you as awfully high if they actually had to sign up for it with Apple?

No one said they had to sign up for it with Apple.

Apple is not involved in any capacity with processing Apple Pay transactions when you tap your device in a business.

You have no idea what you’re talking about and I’m done repeating myself.

  That graphic is really good. I've seen a lot of graphics that try to explain it but most of them make mistakes; that one is surprisingly perfect.

  The other user is correct that Apple is not involved with the processing of purchase transactions. Pulled this from LinkedIn:
  
  Bruh there is all kinds of processing going on from Apple in that photo so I have no idea what you’re talking about.
  
  It’s literally called “Apple Pay” and you’re gonna try to convince me that Apple has nothing to do with processing payments. Not likely.

    In case you’re not just trolling
    
    At this point I vote we just consider it trolling. The best case alternative is that it's merely aggressively-protected ignorance, and that's not worth engaging with either.

    As I pointed out, the top flow in the graphic is the provisioning flow
    
    If you remove the “provisioning flow” does the payment still get processed?
    
    I encourage you to learn more about this topic. It’s pretty cool how Apple Pay works.
    
    And I encourage you to Google the words “payment” and “process”.
    
    I know how it works.

I feel like I've entered some Twilight Zone. You just keep repeating the same absurd claims about something but if you had ever researched it in any capacity you'd know how false those claims are.

No they don’t. The vast majority don’t even accept Apple, Google, or Samsung Pay, credit cards only.

"Apple Pay is accepted at over 85 percent of retailers in the U.S."

Look, it's really simple: If a store accepts contactless cards, it by definition accepts Apple Pay. They are the same thing to the merchant. There are zero merchants that take contactless cards but can't take Apple Pay.

As for costs, a random sampling:

Forbes:

One great benefit of using Apple Pay is that it doesn’t cost business owners anything extra. Payment processors consider it a normal credit card transaction, so you’ll only pay regular card processing fees. The only upfront cost involved might be upgrading your POS terminal.

US Chamber of Commerce:

Once you have the right contactless payment-capable POS, there are no additional fees you, the merchant, will have to pay for using Apple Pay. As a business owner, you will pay the same credit card rates and fees as you would for a card-present transaction.
