Buying with your mobile is fast, comfortable and effective. In addition, the development in cybersecurity has made it easier for us to make these purchases with total security. Even so, we must take certain aspects into account when configuring our phone if we want to use it to pay. On another occasion, this same medium told how to configure an Android phone to pay safely. In this case it is the turn of the iPhone.
Apple Pay: the iPhone solution
Every iPhone on the market comes with its own secure payment app pre-installed, so you don’t have to download a separate one. Of course, you have to take into account that banks also offer the possibility of paying with theirs, so find out if you prefer to use theirs.
Apple Pay is the name of the app that Apple phones use to pay with their mobile phones. And this app is inside ‘Wallet’. When entering ‘Wallet’, you have to click on the ‘+’ button and then the option that corresponds to your needs:
Debit or credit card to add a new card.
Previous cards to add a card that you have used before.
Now, you just have to click on ‘Continue’ and follow the steps that are indicated on the screen to add a new card, if that is the option you want. There is only one more step left, and that is to verify with the bank of your card that the steps you are taking are legitimate. To do this, you will surely have to download the app from your bank and confirm the operation from it.
How to add a payment card to Apple Watch
If you have an Apple Watch, you can also add the card to your watch. To do this, open the ‘Apple Watch’ app on the iPhone, tap on ‘My Watch’ and then ‘Wallet & Apple Pay’. If you want to use a card that is already in other Apple devices and therefore already registered, you just have to touch ‘Add’ next to the card and enter the CVV code. If it’s new, tap ‘Add Card’ and follow the on-screen instructions.
If what you want is to delete an Apple Pay card that, for example, has become obsolete, or for any other reason, in the ‘Wallet’ app, in the ‘Previous cards’ section, then click on ‘Edit > Delete’ and that’s it.
If you follow all these steps you will have your card correctly configured with your iPhone. From now on, all you have to do is place your unlocked iPhone at the store’s POS and the transaction will be done quickly and easily.
