Report: Rite Aid Dumps Apple Pay Days After Launch

Apple Pay lets users to tap their iPhones (it has to be an iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus) to payment terminals, then touch their device's fingerprint sensor to purchase items. Both the devices and terminals must have near-field communication (NFC) chips that store payment credentials.

According to the Mac Rumors article, Apple Pay should technically be compatible with any point-of-sale systems supporting NFC technology, but Rite Aid customers "who made successful Apple Pay payments earlier this week have found their payments were being denied yesterday and today. According to Twitter, the retailer also unexpectedly turned off support for Google Wallet at the same time.”
