Nice idea. I recently tried out Android pay and was eager to find other places where it was supported but didn't find any central way of getting that info. How'd you go about getting this info and how scalable is this?
@sarthakgrover Sarthak, Thank you for the question! I hear ya. I get this from so many people and it was one of the big motivations for me to build Pay Finders. I am learning to code Android apps and will have a version for this platform in then next month or so if all goes well. I built the core data from 1000s of Apple Pay enthusiasts that reported NFF locations through early 2014 on to today. I also have many Banks, processors, ISO merchant account sales people and merchants themselves self reporting new locations. All of these datasets are very important and all very much are product of crowd sourced wisdom. I am learning each day just how powerful this is.

Is there a way to see it in list mode? My friend just needs to know which stores\chains use apple pay, not necessarily which stores that are close to him.
@moravtchik Leo, Great question! Indeed there is a list mode, it gets far better in version 1.5 in the app review process at Apple at this moment poised for release soon... Currently in the release version out today go to the main map page and press the second icon to the top left, the paper list looking image. This will list the first 500 locations with in the range selected on the same screen at the bottom left pop up menu. If this is confusing please let me know and I will assist. I also can do a database run and get counts for any area of Zip Codes.

How can a retailer provide location info for your app?
@joerago Joe, sorry I missed this question. Anyone, including a business owner can submit a location that accepts Apple Pay in the app or just by sending me an email to care@PayFinders.com.
