How do I use Apple Pay?

You can use Apple Pay to make purchases in stores, on websites, and in apps. It’s widely accepted, simple, safe, secure, and private.

How secure is Apple Pay?

Apple Pay is safer than using a physical credit, debit, or prepaid card. Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode are required for purchases on your iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, or iPad. Your card number and identity aren’t shared with merchants, and your actual card numbers aren’t stored on your device or on Apple servers. When you pay in stores, neither Apple nor your device will send your actual card number to merchants. When you pay online in Safari or in apps, the merchant will only receive information you authorize to fulfill your order — such as your name, email address, and billing and shipping addresses. When you pay with a debit or credit card, Apple doesn’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to you.

How do I set up Apple Pay?

It’s simple. Just add a credit, debit or prepaid card to the Wallet app on your iPhone, then choose to add the card to any other Apple devices you want to use with Apple Pay. It works on iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac, and iPad. If you upgrade to a new iPhone, you can automatically transfer your cards to the new device in one easy step.

And secure.

Personal data. Protected. When you make a purchase, Apple Pay uses a device-specific number and unique transaction code. So your card number is never stored on your device or on Apple servers. And when you pay, your card numbers are never shared by Apple with merchants. If you prefer not to share your email address with merchants when paying online, you can use Hide My Email to generate unique, random email addresses that automatically forward to your personal inbox.

Your purchases stay private. When you pay with a debit or credit card, Apple Pay doesn’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to you.

Tap more. Touch less. Apple Pay works straight from your device, helping you avoid touching buttons and terminals, handling cards and exchanging cash. Every purchase requires Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode — helping to keep your security in your hands.
