You can always verify if a store such as American Eagle or Hollister takes Apple Pay by using the Apple Maps app.
Open the app and search for the store you wish to visit. Find the “Useful to Know” section below the store’s phone number and website address. Here you will see the Apple Pay logo and/or “✓ Accepts Apple Pay” if the store accepts Apple Pay.
