- Back in 2015, Kohl's became the first retail store
in the world to allow payments via Apple Pay.
Today, more than a million retail stores, restaurants,
gas stations, and grocery stores accept contactless payments
through Apple Pay.
Just whip out your Apple device and make a quick payment
without all that credit card hassle.
Super convenient, right?
That's why today we'll give you the Apple Pay 101.

We post weekly content and regular, simple, how-to videos.
Let's get to it.
Now, if you've got any reservations
about how safe Apply Pay is, rest assured,
it's a super secure way to make payments.
This is because your card numbers are not stored
on your device or sent with your payment.
What's more, every Apple Pay transaction
has to be authorized by your fingerprint,
face ID, or passcode.
So, if you're worried that your iPhone might get stolen
or misused, keep in mind that whoever finds your iPhone
won't be able to use Apple Pay
unless they have your passcode.
From McDonald's to the Lego Store, Trader Joe's, to Costco,
Apple Pay is supported by most major retail stores,
restaurants, grocery stores, boutiques, you name it.
Unfortunately though, Walmart currently
does not accept Apple Pay.
Someone better get Doug McMillon on speed dial.
Am I right?
Device compatibility, what cards can you use, we've got you.
You can link any major credit card
or debit card provider with Apple Pay.
Apple Pay can be used on any iPhone
with Face I or Touch ID.
Unfortunately, this does not include iPhone 5s.
You can also use this payment method on any iPad Pro,
iPad Air, iPad and iPad Mini with touch ID or Face ID.
Lastly, Apple Watch or a Mac with touch ID can be used too.
So if you happen to leave your phone at home,
you can still bag yourself a sandwich for lunch.
Although, you should know iPad and Mac are mainly
for app and web purchases and cannot be used
for in-store purchases.
Now, there's only three simple steps
to set up Apple Pay on your iPhone.
First off, open the Wallet on your iPhone.
Next, tap the plus button at the top-right.
Finally, follow the prompt to scan your bank card.
If your card is too worn out,
you might want to enter all your card numbers manually.
Depending on your bank account,
you might get a confirmation text to confirm your identity.
Voila!
Apple Pay is now all set up on your iPhone.
Now, if you're looking to set it up on your Apple Watch,
you'll need a primary iOS device such as your iPhone or iPad
for the initial setup.
So, grab the device you need and follow these simple steps:
On your iOS device, go to the Apple Watch app
and click My Watch tab.
If you have multiple watches, select the desired one here.
Now, choose Wallet & Apple Pay.
Finally, tap Add Card.
You can scan your card on your device
or enter the numbers manually.
Your bank may require authorization
by sending a verification text message.
Once you're done with that,
you're all set up and ready to go.
You can now use your Apple Watch via Apple Pay,
even if you don't have your iPhone or iPad with you.
Yipee! The joys of the 21st century!
Now that you're all done with setting up Apple Pay,
how do you go about actually using it?
Here's how it will work:
If you're using face ID and your default card,
first double-click the side button,
then glance at your device to authenticate face ID.
Or just enter your passcode.
Now, hold the top of your iPhone near the contactless reader
until the transaction is approved.
If you're using touch ID and your default card,
rest your finger on the Touch ID pad.
Next, position the top of your iPhone
within a few centimeters of the contactless reader
until you hear a ping and see "Done"
with a check mark on your iPhone screen.
If your purchase is under $50,
Apple Pay should work just fine
without any more authentication.
If it's over that amount, the retailer may ask for ID,
PIN, or a separate signature.
So, paying by Apple Watch lets you skip the whole face ID
or touch ID business
because you are already wearing a device
with a biometric sensor.
If that's your jam, just follow these simple steps:
To use your default card, first double click the side button
on your Apple Watch.
Now, hold the display of your Apple Watch
near the contactless reader.
And wait until you feel a gentle tap.
Depending on the amount and the retailer,
Apple Pay should work without any more authentication.
If it's over that amount, the retailer may ask for ID,
PIN, or a separate signature.
