Apple doesn’t charge merchants anything for using Apple Pay, they charge the banks for being able to have their cards in Apple wallet. Merchants still get charged by the banks but Apple doesn’t take anything from them.

The 30% fees is on App Store purchases

Is there any way to subscribe to a service using Apple Pay without it counting as App Store and incurring the 30%? There’s a lot of news stories about Spotify, Netflix, etc fighting with Apple over this.

Apple Pay (like Apple wallet) doesn’t charge anything inherently. If you’re buying a subscription (like to an app) through the App Store, with or without Apple Pay, they charge 30%. These are two different things.
