Apple Pay is not involved here. Apple Cash can used to transfer money only between other Apple users. You would be better off using another system like Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal that are cross platform.

Apple Cash payments (transfers) is a person to person transfer service that allows two people to transfer funds from one party to the other. Commercial use of Apple Cash is prohibited per the Apple Cash terms and conditions.
