I don’t currently have any payment methods attached to my Apple Account when checking via the App Store and account section in settings. I also do not have any available gift card balance or anything applicable. However, when I try to make an in-app purchase (e.g a subscription etc) it still gives me the option to Double Click side button to pay. What payment method is this using? I have a couple cards attached to my Wallet app, but this should be separate from apple account payment methods, right?
#Do App Store/In-App purchases fallback to Apple Pay?

Oh, so it does look like it falls back to Apple Pay. That’s crazy

Yes it’s normal though for it to double click to pay cos it’s linked to Apple Pay
Cos when you add cards into your wallet app, Apple Pay creates a different card number for your card so when your paying your using that Apple Pay card (linked to your Amex) to pay
This prevents you from actually using your actual card to pay to prevent fraud so your card details can’t be stolen
