Hello fellow lemmings! According to this reddit discussion in 2018 there wasn’t any foss alternatives to google pay. How’s the situation in 2023?

    You are unlikely to find FOSS alternative that is not for cryptocurrencies as the regulations around credit card data processing makes it hard.

        I don’t know the specifcs, but there are strict rules and requirements on how the data has to be stored if you process any of it, then there is complience issues with laws like GDPR and you have to be a registered entity as far as I know. It’s just too much legal paperwork for most FOSS projects.

          isn’t the data stored locally?
