How about adding Apple Pay as a way to donate to Wikipedia?

Appreciate all the work on the iOS app!

Have you thought about taking donations through the app? You could use Apple Pay in the
iOS app, which would considerably reduce friction.

Thank you for doing such a great job and giving us the greatest possible gift!
Access to knowledge and information. 

I am writing this email to ask is there a way you can add a Pay with Apple Pay
inside the iOS app. I want to support Wikipedia whenever I can and there are
moments when I want to donate but I do not have my card at hand and I end up
postponing and sometimes forgetting. I am doing my best to not be lazy but people
are like this sometimes. I know other people have the same experience. Is there a
way you can add Apple Pay inside the Wikipedia app so supporting becomes a 1
button experience?

"I was about to donate $30 to help keep this website/app Ad free, but there is no option for Apple Pay"

@wikimedia can you enable Apple Pay for Wikipedia donations? Would be easiest and safest for anybody on a compatible Mac or iOS device. Thanks!

I am just sending this because I want to donate to you guys but I haven’t done so yet
because I don’t have a paypal or amazon account, but I do use Apple Pay very often. I am
reluctant to make more payment accounts but I would if Apple Pay were available. I just
figure you are all probably missing out on a lot of donations due to not having Apple Pay
enabled as a payment method. Thanks.

OTRS Ticket#2019081010004445:

Not a bug per se, more of a complaint for a lack of a feature. I like Wikipedia, I use it
quite frequently and I appreciate your efforts. However, until you give me a completely
secure and safe way to donate money, you won’t get anything from me. It needs to be safe,
secure, and anonymous. I will not handover financial information, period. I am requesting
Apple Pay. If you put that into the app, I’ll donate monthly. Until then, nothing.

Please add Apple Pay option ASAP as I want to support this more easily and more frequently.
