Ways to enable payment using third party wallet application in Apple device

Does apple support HCE(Host card emulation) or should use only Apple Pay for any transactions. If Apple pay integration is a must for an application, what are the integration steps or any documents links.

I would prefer to use HCE but not sure if Apple allows. Please Guide.

Upon the release of iOS 16.1 yesterday, Apple allows the complete deletion of Apple Wallet, I hope this is to allow other developers to access the HCE Host Card Emulation feature.
