I've used apple pay twice. I see now on my receipts that it is not the same credit card number. I need to have my correct number on my receipts for accounting purposes.
WHY are you changing it? This works great but now I see I can't use it!

That's the dynamic security code. It's a security feature - your actual credit/debit card number isn't used; the dynamic security code is used in its placed when making transactions. If hackers breach a payment terminal/database and got your credit card number, in reality they would just get the one-time dynamic security code which would be useless to them.
I sincerely doubt that Apple would change this as it would compromise security.
See the "Use Apple Pay in stores" section of Apple Pay security and privacy overview - Apple Support for more information.
To clarify, the number shown on your receipts for Apple Pay transactions is not a "one-time dynamic security code".
Thanks for this. Next time a retailer says that my cards don’t match I will use this information. Perhaps they will be able to give me my money back.
