Apple pay merchant cost?

I can't find info about what fees merchants are charged for taking Apple Pay.

Where is that info?

i have seen that page and I don’t see anything on it about what it costs. PayPal and Stripe charge 2.9% + a transaction fee. I was going to suggest that my client offer Apple Pay as an option, but if I need to know a secret password or have a friend at Apple just to get that information, I can’t seriously recommend it.


Why wouldnt Apple want people to know what their charges are? Is it free? If so, that would be a good thing to know.


Thanks for replying, but I couldn’t find it on the page you linked to. Maybe I missed it, and if so, please show me the paragraph.

No, I saw that part, but it says "additional fees," and not just "fees." The word "additional" says to me that there are some fees, but nothing extra added to those fees.


But what you're saying is that Apple Pay is 100% free to the merchant? I'd love to hear that from a merchant who uses it who can verify that. Seems unlikely to setup an entire infrastructure that makes absolutely no money.
