Pay the way that works for you.
Apple?Pay gives you flexibility at checkout. When you shop online and in apps with iPhone and iPad, you can pay in full or split your purchases into smaller payments over time through an eligible card or other pay later provider.2 Or use your eligible credit or debit cards’ rewards, points, or miles to pay for all or part of your purchase when you shop online and in apps on iPhone and iPad with Apple?Pay.3 When redeeming rewards, you’ll receive a statement credit after completing your purchase in full.
Use Apple?Cash with Apple?Pay.
Apple?Cash is built right into iPhone.4
It’s an easy and private way to send and receive money in Messages, in Wallet, and with Tap to Cash. So splitting brunch or chipping in for a gift is simpler than ever. You can even spend the Apple?Cash you receive with Apple Pay — in stores, in apps, or online. And if an app or merchant doesn’t accept Apple?Pay yet, you can use your Apple?Cash virtual card number online anywhere Visa is accepted to complete your?purchase.

At stores and more. Apple?Pay is accepted at over 85 percent of retailers in the U.S., so you can likely use it wherever and however you want. If you’re not sure, just ask. Apple?Pay works anywhere that takes contactless payments?— from vending machines and grocery stores to taxis and subway?stations.
In apps and online. Use Apple?Pay to seamlessly make purchases in Safari and other browsers — on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and other computers — without the lengthy checkout forms. On an Apple device, click or tap the Apple?Pay button and pay with a touch or glance. On a non-Apple device, scan the Apple Pay code with your iPhone camera and use your iPhone to complete your purchase.5 You can even use Apple?Pay to subscribe to services like Apple?Music, Apple?News+, and Apple?TV+, buy apps and games on the App?Store, and upgrade your iCloud?storage.
Safe and
sound.
And?secure.
Personal data. Protected. When you make a purchase, Apple?Pay uses a device-specific number and unique transaction code. So your card number is never stored on your device or on Apple servers. And when you pay, your card numbers are never shared by Apple with?merchants. If you prefer not to share your email address with merchants when paying online, you can use Hide My Email to generate unique, random email addresses that automatically forward to your personal?inbox.
Your purchases stay private. When you pay with a debit or credit card, Apple?Pay doesn’t keep transaction information that can be tied back to?you. And when you use Apple?Cash, information is stored only for troubleshooting, fraud prevention, and regulatory?purposes.
Tap more. Touch less. Apple?Pay works right from your device, helping you avoid touching buttons and terminals, handling cards, and exchanging cash. Every purchase requires Face?ID, Touch?ID, or a passcode — helping to keep your security in your?hands.

Apple Pay is safer than using a physical credit, debit, or prepaid card. Face?ID, Touch?ID, or your passcode is required for purchases on your iPhone, Apple?Watch, Mac, or iPad.

When you pay in stores, neither Apple nor your device will send your actual card number to merchants. When you pay online in Safari or in apps, the merchant will only receive information you authorize to fulfill your order — such as your name, email address, and billing and shipping?addresses.
