Setting Up and Managing Apple Pay

Setting up Apple Pay is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few minutes. You'll need to have an iPhone 6 or later, an iPad Pro, an Apple Watch, or an iPod touch.

To get started, go to the Wallet app on your device and tap "Add Credit or Debit Card." You can then use the camera to take a photo of your card, or manually enter the information.

You can add up to eight cards to Apple Pay, making it easy to have multiple payment methods on hand. This is especially convenient for splitting bills or making purchases with friends.

Once you've added your cards, you can start using Apple Pay to make purchases in-store, online, or in-app. Just look for the Apple Pay symbol at checkout, and hold your device near the payment terminal to complete the transaction.

To add a debit or credit card to Apple Pay, you can tap your card on your iPhone or add it manually in the Wallet app. The Wallet app is where you'll manage all your cards and transactions.

To add a card, tap the Add button in the Wallet app and follow the prompts. You'll need to enter your card information, which will be encrypted and sent to Apple servers.

Some banks or card issuers might require further authentication, such as providing more information or downloading an app before approving your card for use with Apple Pay.

Eligible card issuers will also allow you to connect your account to view transaction details and account information in the Wallet app.

To remove a card from the Wallet app, tap Edit, then Remove, and finally Delete to confirm.

If you have an Apple Watch, you can also add a debit or credit card to your watch by following the steps in the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.

To manage this option, go to Settings > Apps > Safari > Advanced on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Vision Pro, and in the Advanced tab in Safari settings on your Mac.

Apple Pay securely transmits your payment information by receiving your encrypted transaction and re-encrypting it with a developer-specific key before sending it to the developer or payment processor.

Websites must verify their domain every time they offer Apple Pay as a payment option, and Apple sends your Device Account Number to the app or website along with the transaction-specific dynamic security code.
