How to Set Up and Use Apple Pay in-store and Online

Using your phone to pay at your favourite online business or in-store merchant is often faster and easier than searching for a credit card or cash. Consumers are using mobile payment apps because of that. Apple Pay is the default iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac payment option. Connecting a credit or debit card through the app lets your iPhone or Apple Watch pay at stores and online. You can buy things on compatible websites with your iPad or Mac.
