Can’t pay with Apple Pay anymore?

What’s the deal? I can’t subscribe with Apple Pay? I must be able to easily manage subscriptions with Apple

Were you ever able to manage Wyze subscriptions with Apple Pay?

Strong recommendation for any Wyze subscriptions to always go directly via the Wyze website. The reason is that if there is every any dispute, if you use a 3rd party, it will become a finger pointing exercise where neither Wyze nor the 3rd party can resolve the issue. MANY reports of this.

That is so true, however I think the OP wants to pay for the subscription using Apple Pay. What’s the reason behind it is beyond me :thinking:

Personally, I prefer to pay with Google Pay whenever possible too. The benefit of using these methods is that they are more secure because the payment is “tokenized” in a way that makes it so the merchant never receives my payment information and can’t “auto-charge” me or get my payment information “stolen” by hackers, data leaks, or even employees or contractors because the company never had my payment info to begin with. All they get is a 1-time use token that is invalid after the initial use. Nobody else can ever use it.

I very strongly highly recommend using Google pay or Apple pay whenever possible. It’s a ton more secure than paying directly with your credit card number, especially for anything you purchase online. Nobody can ever steal your info.

A lot of companies don’t allow people to use them because they can’t easily do auto renewal on subscriptions. Also, people are psychologically slightly less likely to buy things as often if their payment information isn’t stored on their platform.

But yes, I agree with above point to absolutely not buy subscriptions through the Wyze app (which is actually buying them through Apple App Store or Google Play and not Wyze directly), but but instead through the Wyze Website.

However, Apple Pay and Google Pay are separate things from the App store, and should be available on the Wyze Website too. I don’t like giving my credit card info to companies. If they force me to, I often create a “virtual credit card” that expires the next month and has a low usage limit. That way if it gets used somewhere else I know which company had an employee steal the information and it isn’t even valid within a month.

I did not know that even though I use Apple Pay wherever I can. It is much more convenient than lugging a wallet everywhere :slight_smile:

Yeah, it’s fantastic!

I’m kind of ashamed to say my own businesses don’t accept then at this time. It’s mostly because the limited payment partners available to us don’t support them or I’d be happy to accept them.

I could see some data brokers disliking tokenized payments though. They are also harder to track. Good for us, bad for data brokers who want to sell patterns to advertisers. The added anonymity and security is great. I hope they continue to get more widely accepted.

Yes

It is through their website. Where else would you go? The issue is, they accept PayPal for payments but no longer Apple pay

At one time they did because I have a subscription that is expiring. Also their $10 off deal isn’t showing up. Oh well. I’ll just do monthly for a few months. I only need it for a few months anyway.

But managing all your subscriptions in Apple Pay is so convenient
