Even so, why can't Apple generate an itemized receipt? Square sends me a detailed receipt. Sure, I could use Square. That's always an option, but I am choosing to use Apple Pay. That sales data has to be communicated to Apple in some way shape or form. If it's not, perhaps it could/should. Listing only the last four transactions and a dollar value seems inadequate. If Apple really wants to get people to use their payment method, they should expound upon their receipts.
Perhaps, like Square, Apple should work with the retailers to incorporate detailed receipts into their transactions. It seems somewhat shortsighted. Hence, the request for a system improvement.
I could always ask the retailer for a paper receipt, but the whole point is to eliminate the need to carry a debit/credit card and a pocket full of paper receipts.
If my child uses Apple Pay ten times in a day, the only thing that I am told about their purchases is the dollar value and where they went shopping -- on the last four transactions. What if I want to look at what they're purchasing. I don't want to get into a discussion about trusting them or their buying habits. That's not the meat of the conversation.
The end game is to assist the purchaser with the details of their transactions -- not just facilitate them.
