Get ApplePay card info to pay in external system

Our customers want to apply the following scenario for the app:

  1. The user taps "Pay" in the app.
  2. The app (or backend) gets the card info from the user's ApplePay account.
  3. Card info is being used to perform a payment in another payment system.

I'm 90% sure Apple doesn't let to do this, but I can't find any docs.

This isn't possible: it goes against the whole point of having a payment system that obscures payment information from the merchant. Plus there's a million business reasons for the payment provider not to do this (and especially Apple, given that your client's requirement is likely to circumvent the huge commission they take on in-app purchases.)

There don't seem to be any docs on this (probably because it is so obvious that it's not an option) but there is this on the official Apple Pay website:

Your card number is never stored on your device, and when you pay your debit or credit card numbers are never sent to merchants. Apple Pay assigns a unique number for each purchase, so your payments stay private and secure.
