There is no shortage of Familymart locations anywhere in Taiwan.

Familymart for example, does indeed offer Apple Pay as a payment system in Taiwan, shortly after going after the announcement though I had been informed that currently Apple Pay is only offered for those holding a credit card from Taixin Bank (台新銀行）and those who don’t have a credit card from the bank are ineligible to use Apple Pay although a quick glance over Apple’s support page for Apple Pay (哪裡可以用）apparently has no mention of the fact. This is also the case for several other retailers which offer Apple Pay, and one I feel that Apple should have at least addressed somewhere on the page rather then leaving it up to consumers to Google which retailers offer Apple Pay as a payment choice and with what specific banks, if any.

Anyways with that frustration out, there appears to be a solution if you are using credit cards as a payment method and is available at a variety of restaurants 24/7. Prior to recently my Canadian card hadn’t worked with the store and only my Taiwanese one but that seems to be solved now.
