Comment on Apple Pay will support NFC tagsparent

Comments

The cost of adoption of payees is drastically lower with QR codes. Anyone who wants to receive payments just has to print out a 10c laminated QR code and they're on the network. This helped bootstrap the network and drive mass adoption.

The terminals are not expensive, maybe in developing countries but merchants in the US can afford one easily.

The hot dog stand might not want it but they’re the rare case. In others NFC is just better in every way.
