Pay with your default card on an iPhone with Face ID

Pay with your default card on an iPhone with Touch ID

Rest your finger on Touch ID.

Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
Position the top of iPhone within a few centimeters of the contactless reader until you see Done and a checkmark on the screen.

Use a rewards card

At participating stores, you can receive or redeem rewards when you use Apple Pay.

Add your rewards card to Wallet.
At the payment terminal in the store, present your rewards card by holding iPhone near the contactless reader.
Apple Pay then switches to your default payment card to pay for the purchase. In some stores, you can apply your rewards card and payment card in one step. In other stores, you need to wait until the terminal or cashier asks for payment.

To have your rewards card appear automatically when you’re in the store, tap on the card, then turn on Automatic Selection.

Use Apple Pay at stores in Japan

You need an iPhone model that supports Apple Pay in Japan and a card issued by a bank in Japan.

Tell the cashier what type of card you’re using, as shown on the front of your card in Wallet.
Complete the payment.

Note: If you have Location Services turned on, the location of your iPhone at the time you make a payment may be sent to Apple and the card issuer to help prevent fraud. See Control the location information you share on iPhone.
