That's not Apple Pay, these are iOS in-app purchases. If you or the author call it that, nobody here will understand you.

Makes sense now, thanks.

To be fair, as a user, I don't see the expression "in-app purchases" while I _do_ see the Apple Pay logo. It's easy to get them confused.

What's probably happening here is that you are paying Apple using Apple Pay. Apple is the merchant of record for in-app-purchases.

So it's not entirely incorrect (but definitely confusing) to say that the end user is "paying using Apple Pay", but they're paying Apple, not the app vendor.
