Re: Apple Pay

Hi.
for the Apple Pay mechanisms,

will it be correct as following?

1. real credit card information is stored at Apple side (same to iTunes way)
2. when user try to pay at store, a token (which is generated by apple,
virtual credit card format?) is pass to merchant.
3. merchant send the token to their processor/acquirer
4. the participating banks will verify the token with Apple
5. settle money to merchant.

does Apple Pay always need connected environment?

regards
mountie
