Apple Pay
Apple Pay is Apple's own payment system. It is activated by adding a credit or debit card to the available Apple device.
You don't need a separate app to use Apple Pay, its functionality is standard on iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac and iPad.
Apple Pay can be used for purchases made with the Safari browser or, via a QR code, in other browsers as well. Apple Pay also allows users to enter their payment information and authorize payments with just a touch or a glance.
