Will Apple Pay be ecig friendly?

[Racehorse]

....to merchants and consumers of ecigs?

I guess they are trying to be direct competitors to Paypal mobile or google wallet ? and works thru your credit card linked to iTunes.

What is good about it is that they have no interest in recording your transactions, so seems very private and secure and certainly less risk for merchants as well.

If they're smart, they'll leave transaction policies up to the vendors rather than banning certain transactions outright.

Don't see why not. That said, I doubt you'll see it often. It's going to be up to the merchant to get a terminal that's capable of accepting the tech and I've yet to see a vape shop that has a credit card terminal capable of wireless payments.

Vixen Vapors here in Texas uses an iPad and a square reader instead of a traditional cash register, at least they were last time I was in their store a year or so back.

Those are cheap, I imagine wireless capable terminals aren't. Not in the industry so I have no clue but I'm sure it's more than the $100 a square reader runs.

Yeah, I don't know either, but I was surprised to see even a iPad/square reader in a vape shop. Actually, that's the only one I've ever seen in use.

Most of the vape shops that have sprung up around here look like they belong in a flea market instead of commercial retail property.
