Staples was an early retailer to adopt Apple Pay, announcing its support of the digital payment technology even before it launched. While the retailer has seen some adoption in stores, its experience with Apple Pay in its iOS app is much more impressive. "Right now it's the number one payment method for us in our iOS apps," said Prat Vemana, vice president of mobile commerce for Staples, speaking during apanel discussion hosted by Chetan Sharma Consulting in Seattle on Tuesday. Vemana said that 30 percent of purchases made in the Staples iOS apps use Apple Pay.
