Instead of rummaging through your purse to find wallet in order to pay for something, you could simply pull out your iPhone. Apple Pay is almost like magic because you can easily pay for anything with the touch of a button. This amazing feature allows you to pay for anything using your iPhone as long as the store has a compatible terminal.
Before you set up Apple Pay, you need to make sure your bank supports Apple Pay. Once you confirm that Apple Pay is supported, you will need either a password, Touch ID, or Face ID set up on your phone.
Once you have everything set up, follow the steps below!
Step #1: Open the Wallet app on your iPhone.
Step #2: Tap the blue + icon.
Step #3: If you are asked to sign in to your iCloud account, follow the directions on your screen.
Step #4: Tap “Continue.”
Step #5: Scan your debt or credit card or you can enter the information manually.
Step #6: Choose “Next” to verify your card information. Once you verify your info, you will receive a confirmation text, call, or email from your bank.
Now you have everything set up and you are ready to start paying with your phone! When you are ready to make a payment, hold your phone close to a terminal that has an Apple Pay icon, then wait for the Wallet popup to appear, and confirm the purchase.
