Does every charge made through Apple Pay need to be done through a request that is approved by the user?

From my current understanding of Apple Pay, it seems that every time I want to use it I would need to prompt the Apple Pay request screen and have the user approve the transaction.


My question is, how do apps like Bird and Lime seem to get around this? From my understanding, the price of the ride isn't determined until after you finish the ride, and then a charge automically appears on my credit card without a request prompt.
