Apparently, this is another payment service affected by the ongoing nation-wide Square platform outage.
04:00 pm (IST): It seems that the recent outage with Apple Pay is finally going to be resolved. It comes after the most recent update from Square and according to them a fix has already been applied.
However, it’s possible for some to keep experiencing problems with the platform until it is fully restored.
