Hey all,
Today Apple announced a bunch of 501(c)3 partners which now can use Apple Pay to make instant donations. Announcement at: http://www.apple.com/newsroom/2016/11/a-touch-of-giving-with-apple-pay.html
Does WMF fundraising have plans to integrate with Apple Pay, especially on mobile devices? I understand that right now it's limited to the US and the team has been focusing a ton on international payment providers (which is great). Given that payments on mobile are such a huge headache and declining desktop traffic to Wikimedia properties, it might be an interesting pilot to explore nonetheless.
One rather unrelated thing: if you buy from smile.amazon.com, Amazon donates 0.5% of your purchase to a non-profit foundations of your choice. WMF is there and I chose it as mine. Maybe we can lobby and ask them to put it on top of the suggestions.

Hello,
Going out of topic sorry. Regarding mobile and desktop traffic declining, according to https://reportcard.wmflabs.org/
* Overall page views is about the same since 2013. * Mobile traffic quickly raised until reaching a plateau in 2015.
Surely one can say that traffic shifted to mobile, but for the last two years the desktop/mobile ratio seems fairly stable.
The Fundraising team might have some data regarding donations made through desktop vs mobile and their evolution though. Maybe mobile has a better engagement rate, then the mobile app is only a drop of our traffic.
Hi Steven-
Yes, we are excited about Apple Pay's new ability to accept donations. It is on our product roadmap, but we are not certain yet when we will be rolling it out.
And thanks, Amir, for selecting us for Amazon Smile!
Best,
Lisa Gruwell

As indicated - in small print - on that page, it uses two incompatible pageview definitions for the time before and after May 2015. Hence it should not be relied upon for such a trend analysis. See instead (for example) https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File%3AReading_and_Comm_Tech...

Not quite, the ratio still decreased during that time (or conversely, the mobile percentage increased); although it is true that it did so less rapidly than in previous years, and also intermittently moved into the other direction. See the above link or for more detail https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_daily_pageviews,_mobile_pe...
Apple takes their usual 30 % on such donations ?

Hi Rupert,
The 30% you're referring to is the cut Apple takes for in-app purchases. Apple Pay is a different platform; neither consumer, merchant, or in this case, donor and receiver, are charged a fee.

Ah, I saw https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Pay now, which says it takes a part of the credit card fees, 0.15 % in the US. Lower in the European Union as fees for credit cards must be lower than 0.3 %.
This would mean a normal credit card payment fee applies, isn't it?
