No, Apple Pay does not share your actual card details with merchants.
Here's how it works:
- Tokenization: Apple Pay uses a unique digital token instead of your actual card number. This token is a random string of characters that represents your card information.
- Secure Transactions: When you make a purchase with Apple Pay, the token is sent to the merchant, not your real card details. This means that the merchant never has access to your sensitive card information.
- Privacy: Apple Pay keeps your card details securely stored on your device and in Apple's servers, protected by advanced encryption.
This secure system ensures your card details are protected from unauthorized access and potential data breaches.
