Using ApplePay can be simpler than using a physical card, and safer too. With your cards stored in the Wallet app
, you can use ApplePay to make secure payments in stores, for transit, in apps, and on websites that support ApplePay.
Note: The availability of ApplePay and its features varies by country or region. See the Apple Support article Countries and regions that support ApplePay.
To set up ApplePay, add your debit, credit, and prepaid cards to Wallet.

Add your previous cards: Tap Previous Cards, then choose any cards you previously used. These cards may include the card associated with your AppleID, cards you use with ApplePay on your other devices, cards you added to Safari AutoFill, or cards you removed from Wallet.

Add a card from a supported app: Tap the app of your bank or card issuer (below From Apps on Your iPhone).
. The card issuer determines whether your card is eligible for ApplePay, and may ask you for additional information to complete the verification process.
