Organize Your Wallet

Wallet is a storehouse for coupons, reward cards, and tickets. It also manages your Apple Pay cards and settings.

Manage Wallet Passes

There are two ways to add passes:

• When you encounter a Wallet pass QR code in the real world, open Camera, center the barcode in the viewfinder to scan it. Open the resulting notification to add that pass to Wallet.
• Tap the Add to Wallet button on a webpage, in an email message, or inside an app. Some apps may add passes automatically.

Use and Remove Passes

Some passes are location- or time-based. These display a Lock Screen notification at the appointed time or place. Other passes must be pulled up manually by opening Wallet and tapping the card in the stack. Swipe down on the card to return it to the stack.

To delete or edit a card, open it, and tap the info icon in the lower-right corner. Tap Remove Pass to remove it, or toggle Suggest on Lock Screen.

Try Apple Pay

Apple Pay lets you use your Apple device in place of your credit or debit card. You can use Apple Pay in stores and apps, as well as on websites that support it. Apple has promised person-to-person Apple Pay, though it hasn’t appeared as of iOS 11.0.

To set up Apple Pay on an iPhone for making mobile payments on-the-go, you need an iPhone 6 or later (including the SE), or an iPhone 5S or later paired with an Apple Watch.

For in-app purchases and in-Safari (on the Mac) purchases, you can also use any of these iPads: at least an iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, or iPad Pro.

Here’s how to set up Apple Pay in iOS:

1. Find out whether your credit or debit card is compatible with Apple Pay by checking with the card’s bank or looking for it in this Apple support article.
2. Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay.
3. Tap Add Credit or Debit Card.
4. Follow the prompts to add your card(s) to Apple Pay.

If the details are accepted and your credit card issuer supports Apple Pay, the card is added to Wallet—possibly after an additional verification step by your financial institution; if not, an error dialog appears.

Use Apple Pay in a Store

Apple Pay works at any Apple Pay partner location (Figure 73).

Here’s what you need to do to make a purchase:

1. Place your phone near the Apple Pay terminal.
2. While at the Lock screen, double-press the Home button to bring up Apple Pay.
3. If you’ve set up multiple cards with Apple Pay, tap the one you want to use.
4. Enter your passcode or touch the Home button to activate Touch ID.

Use Apple Pay in an iOS App

Several apps allow you to pay with Apple Pay, as follows:

1. In the app, tap the Apple Pay button.
2. At the next screen, review the information and edit as needed.
3. When you’re ready to pay, enter your passcode or touch the Home button to activate Touch ID.

Use Apple Pay in Safari

If you’ve set up Apple Pay on your iPhone or iPad, you can use it to pay online when you’re shopping in Safari on the device.

If you see a “Pay with ” (or similar) option while checking out in a web-based cart, tap it. A payment dialog appears. Confirm your information and then press the iPhone’s Home button for a Touch ID fingertip scan. (Or, on an Apple Watch, double-click its side button.)

You can also use Apple Pay to pay online with your iOS device (or Apple Watch) when you’re shopping in Safari on a Mac running 10.12 Sierra. The Mac must be Continuity-savvy, meaning a 2012 or newer model, other than the Mac Pro, which must be a Late 2013 or newer model.

To set this up:

1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay and enable Allow Payments on Mac.
2. On the Mac, open Safari, choose Safari > Preferences > Privacy, and make sure the checkbox “Allow websites to check if Apple Pay is set up” is selected.
