Whether a future beta will enable Apple Pay for all developers or Apple will wait until the public release to activate the feature is still unknown, but progress is being made toward its inclusion. Apple Pay will be included in Passbook and support NFC-powered payments through the iPhone 6, iPhoen 6 Plus, and (eventually) the Apple Watch.
