Is wifi possible instead of nfc in the payment?

Question

Payment systems

Recently, a thought came to my mind. Every phone (well, almost) with a touch screen is equipped with a wifi module, but not everyone has an nfc module. Is it possible to use the wi-fi module instead of the nfc module, for example, in android pay? After all, these are both technologies of contactless interaction, they differ only in range and frequencies. Is this actually possible. I understand the question can be stupid, especially when I entered the query "Wifi instead of nfc" in Google, I did not find answers. This surprised me to say the least...

Answer 1

Maybe. Create a standard that describes this interaction, implement it, and agree that everyone should use it. Business something.
