To clarify and expand: Apple Pay doesn't send electronic receipts. It has strong privacy measures built-in, including:
- when you pay in stores, Apple doesn't collect any transaction information that can be tied back to you (if Location Services are turned on, it may receive limited anonymous data).
- when you pay within apps, Apple Pay keeps only anonymous information (and not even exact purchase amounts).
So just like with credit and debit cards, merchants issue the receipts.
You can read more about Apple Pay's privacy features here:
- "With Apple Pay, your payments are private. Apple Pay doesn’t store the details of your transactions"
- "Payment transactions are between you, the merchant, and your bank."
