Working in a gas station where we take Apple PAY but oddly decline Apple CASH. I know the difference but i suck at explaining things and need to find a way to break it down in simpler terms cause customers ask if we take Apple PAY and I say “yes but not Apple CASH” then they still pay with Apple CASH and get mad when I tell them we don’t accept that one

Apple Pay is a digital wallet that holds actual credit cards and bank information you can use electronically, without swiping the card.
Apple Cash is cashapp/Venmo/zelle
Apple Pay is a mechanism that your station already accepts. Credits and debit cards. Apple cash is like Venmo or PayPal.
Apple Cash is basically venmo by Apple. You have an account with a balance and you can move money from your account to your friends’ accounts.
Apple Pay stores your credit card (or other card) info so your phone can pretend to be your wireless-enabled cards.
If you don’t have Apple Cash set up, you cannot receive Apple Cash. If you’ve got a wireless credit card reader, you can receive Apple Pay.
Apple Pay is a way to store debit or credit cards on your device and pay using, in stores, industry standard NFC. Apple Cash is a peer to peer money transfer service. Received (or manually loaded) money is stored on the Apple Cash Card, which is basically a prepaid Visa debit card (using Green Dot Bank), which you can also use with Apple Cash.
I suspect the issue is that your store doesn’t accept prepaid debit cards.
Apple Cash is a type of debit card your store does not accept.
Apple Pay is an app that lets customers pay with a credit/debit card without needing the physical card. But if you don’t accept that card, it doesn’t matter if they have it on them or not.
Apple Pay is a way to pay. You can tap to pay with your credit or debit card in the wallet.
Apple Cash is a digital debit card that lives in the wallet and allows you to send and receive money and could also be used to tap to pay if accepted.
