    Apple
    If you accept payments while selling goods and services, Apple Pay can help you speed up the payment process while securely accepting payments. Since there is no need to stick a card into a machine, users won't have to fumble looking for a card when they can put their whole wallet on Apple Pay and check out easily.

    Flywire
    Many of our international students studying at our institution are financially supported by their parents in their homeland. In other words, they rely on their families for payment of their class fees. So, Flywire makes international payments convenient by making payment by visiting our college website and finding the Flywire payment option. Some prefer this method over credit card payments or by wiring money to the student's bank account in the U.S., which creates a whole additional step in making payments.

    Pros
    Apple
    • The double click which launches it couldn't be easier; you don't even have to open your phone and find the app.
    • It's pretty much fool proof from there, as just holding your phone near the reader is sufficient for success.
    • Haptic feedback ensures that I know the payment registered.
    • I have full faith and confidence that the transaction was executed securely.

    Flywire
    • It accepts a wire transfer from virtually all nations outside the U.S.
    • The customer service support is helpful.
    • Once payment information in our system is updated, it allows for payment for classes from overseas to run smoothly.

    Cons
    Apple
    • At times, my Apple Pay will pop up unintentionally. Perhaps there can be more safeguards around that.
    • Apple Pay is not super great if I need to make a return. For any return, I've found that paper receipts are superior.
    • Apple Pay sometimes requires very specific positioning when scanning the phone, which is frustrating.

    Flywire
    • Delay time could be shortened between the actual time of payment and the confirmation of payment.
    • It could allow for the payer to pay more than the outstanding balance without rejecting additional amounts of money.
    • Refund information by way of Flywire is a little vague.

    Apple
    When I had my Android/Samsung phone, I tried Samsung's version of Apple Pay and it was terrible. It was very glitchy, and sometimes I would get a notification that I paid for something when I wasn't even in a checkout screen, like I was just browsing the internet or something and I'd get a notification! It was alarming and I quickly uninstalled the app and never used it again.

    Flywire is relatively simple to use with much quicker response time when it comes to customer support.

    • Cannot think of any negative impact
    • A good number of students are using Flywire to pay for their classes, so it is growing in popularity
    • It reduces the amount of foot traffic at the cashier / payment office when it comes to issues involving payment of classes.
