Apple Pay is safe to use. Your card details won’t be stored on your Apple device or sent to retailers, so your information stays private.
Only you can authorise payments using Face ID or Touch ID when you pay in-store, in apps or on websites.
In-store payments
You can use Apple Pay anywhere that accepts contactless payments. And there’s no limit on the amount you can pay, although some retailers might set their own limit for contactless payments.
In-app and website payments
Many apps and websites now accept Apple Pay, so you don’t have to enter your card details. Select Apple Pay when checking out and use Face ID or Touch ID to complete your payment.
