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

Add a new card: Tap Debit or Credit Card, tap Continue, then position your card so that it appears in the camera frame, or enter the card details manually.
Apply for Apple Card: See Set up and use Apple Card on iPhone.
Add your previous cards: Tap Previous Cards, then choose any cards you previously used. These cards may include the card associated with your Apple ID, cards you use with Apple Pay on your other devices, cards you added to Safari AutoFill, or cards you removed from Wallet. Tap Continue, authenticate with Face ID or Touch ID, then follow the onscreen instructions.
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 Apple Pay, and may ask you for additional information to complete the verification process.

If you have Apple Card, see Set up and use Apple Card on iPhone. For other cards, do the following:
Open the Wallet app
on your iPhone.Tap the card.
Note: The latest transactions may appear, showing authorized amounts that may differ from the amount of the payment charged to your account.
