If the vendor is billing your payment card directly with their name shown on your payment card statement unauthorized, and the vendor is not billing you via an Apple-linked purchase or Apple-linked subscription (as shown on your payment card statement), hen that is a discussion between you and your bank.
There are various apps that prompt for payment information outside the app store, entirely bypassing the Apple app store and Apple-related billing. If that happened here, this dispute is between the vendor, you, and your bank.
If that is not what happened here, please post details.

A subscription is a legal obligation and blocking a specific charge or even removing the card from Apple Pay will not stop the charges. You must contact the support team of that merchant. There is not a way to block a specific charge using Apple Pay.
