Comment on Apple Offers iPhone NFC Chip Access to Apple Pay Rivals in EU
LongMember69@lemmy.world 11 months agoAs 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 think I catch your meaning: it seems you’re arguing that provisioning is a necessary prerequisite to using Apple Pay.
No, that’s not what I said. I said “provisioning” is part of the payment process.
Payment processing is the sequence of actions that securely transfer funds between a payer and a payee. Typically, it involves the authorization, verification, and settlement of transactions through electronic payment systems.
I don’t understand how you can write that out and then immediately turn around and tell me that Apple Pay has nothing to do with any of it, because it’s describing the process of Apple Pay very clearly and succinctly.

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.

Hey, OP commenter here, you have been fully correct throughout this thread. Here is an apple engineer explicitly stating that you’re correct.
I work with this technology, as well as dozens of actual payments processors, every day, so I find what they’re saying absurd and … just, the strangest hill to die on.
I’ve tagged them as a troll. If your app allows it, I suggest you do the same.
