Don't get apple pay option for in app purchases, even for participating storesY

HI. I am trying to get on Apple pay band wagon through my iPad Air 2. (iOS 8.4)


I Have set up apple pay and have added my American Express credit card.


However when I try to make purchases, the Apple play option never appears in any of the UK participating stores.


I Tried on the following apps In the UK


yplan

justeat

Etsy

JD sports

tranferwise


all the the apps I have updated to the latest version and their descroption says it supports Apple pay. but I don't seem to get the option at all.


I Dont know if it's worth mentioning that I don't have iPhone 5s or above to set up Apple pay on iPhone. I have set it up only on my iPad Air 2.


Help appreciated.


Cheers

Sarthak

Hi,


I have set up everything as per instruction. And I can see my card being active. I get notifications on the purchases I do on that card offline. But apple pay option does not appear.


Eg. An app in UK, yplan supports apple pay.


Here is the screenshot from my device. (no apple pay option)

Here is a screenshot from the app store showing apple pay option. It is the same for all the apps.

Whom should I be contacting?

1. Apple or

2. the app or (don't think so, as I don't see the option for any supporting apps)

3. the bank?


Cheers

Hey Thanks for the reply. I contacted apple customer care and they seem to think apple pay for in-app purchases is still not available in the UK. It is only available for physical purchases in-store. (unlike what was announced in the press).


I contacted 'transferwise' (one app which was advertised as 'pay with apple pay' and they confirmed it as well.


But one other app 'yplan' seem to think it should be available. It is all too confusing.


Thanks anyway
