To pay with your iPhone Wallet (Apple Pay), double-click the side button (or home button on older models), authenticate with Face ID/Touch ID/passcode, then hold the top of your iPhone near the contactless reader until you see "Done" and a checkmark. Make sure your default card is set in Wallet and the merchant accepts Apple Pay (look for the contactless symbol).
Tap the card again when you're ready to pay. Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. Hold the top of your iPhone near the card reader until you see Done or a checkmark on the screen.
Easy to use. To set up Tap to Pay on iPhone, enable it in the payment app of your choice. To accept a payment, open the app, enter the amount, and present your iPhone to your customer. To pay, the customer holds their card horizontally or places their device directly over the payment symbol.
How to pay using Apple Pay in stores and other places
You have 2 ways to tap to pay in a store: Unlock your phone and hold it near the reader: You can tap the terminal when your phone is unlocked, even when the Google Wallet app is not open. If prompted, use your Android screen lock to verify the payment.
You can pay with Google Wallet wherever you find the contactless or Google Pay symbols on the payment terminal screen or cash register.
No, Apple Pay and Apple Wallet aren't the same, but they work together: Apple Wallet is the app (your digital container) that stores your credit/debit cards, loyalty cards, tickets, and passes, while Apple Pay is the technology/service that uses those cards in the Wallet to make secure, contactless payments in stores, online, and in apps. Think of the Wallet as your physical purse and Pay as the tap-to-pay function.

Tap card to your mobile device and use the MyCardWallet app to add it to your preferred wallet. Then tap your device to pay in-store, or use the mobile wallet checkout option online.
Yes, you can tap a card on an iPhone in two main ways: customers can tap their contactless cards/devices on a merchant's iPhone using Tap to Pay on iPhone (requiring an app like Square or Stripe), and users can tap their own iPhone (with Apple Pay loaded) on compatible readers to pay, by double-clicking the side/home button and holding the top of the phone near the symbol.
To activate Apple Pay, you usually double-click the side button (for Face ID iPhones) or double-click the home button (for Touch ID iPhones) to bring up your default card, then authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode, and hold the top of your phone near the contactless reader. For Apple Watch, double-click the side button and hold the watch face to the reader.
With Tap to Pay on iPhone, customers' payment data is protected by the same technology that makes Apple Pay private and secure. All transactions made using Tap to Pay on iPhone are encrypted and processed using the Secure Element and, as with Apple Pay, Apple doesn't know what's being purchased or who is buying it.
