Last week, Whole Foods CIO Jason Buechel told The Wall Street Journal that since going live in later October, the grocer had already processed over 150,000 Apple Pay transactions.
TUAW:
With that number in tow, Mike Dudas, formerly of Google, PayPal, and Braintree, did a bit of math and deduced that Apple Pay transactions at Whole Foods now represent nearly 1% of all purchases.
While 1% doesn’t sound like a lot at first blush, it’s a damn respectable number, considering Apple Pay has only been around for about 3 weeks, and it’s currently only available on two mobile devices, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.
SIGH! CVS and Rite Aid, this could’ve been you!
