      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 a giant icon that says “Apple servers” 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.

      Are credit card providers also using Apple servers to not process payments? Because that is what the other user also claimed.

          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 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. If you remove Apple Pay, there is no payment processed. Ergo Apple Pay is part of the process. This is not complicated.

              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.
