Is MPAN always provided?

Hi team @ Apple,

Is an MPAN always provided with an ApplePayPaymentToken?

I heard there are old devices that will provide only a DPAN. Is this correct, and do we need to support the case where only a DPAN is present?

I.e. what percentage of devices doesn't support MPAN?

Thanks

No. If a payment network doesn't support MPAN for the transaction, it will fallback to DPAN.

Your implementation should support the handling of both MPAN and/or DPAN for Apple Pay transactions to prevent decryption failures.
