Make purchases with Apple Watch
Pay for a purchase in a store with Apple Watch
Double-click the side button.
Scroll to choose a card.
Hold your Apple Watch within a few centimeters of the contactless card reader, with the display facing the reader.
A gentle tap and beep confirm that the payment information was sent. You receive a notification in Notification Center when the transaction is confirmed.
For cards that support it, you also receive a notification for purchases made with any card you’ve added to Wallet, even if you didn’t make it with your Apple Watch, iPad, or an iOS device.
You can turn off notifications and history for individual cards within Wallet. Just open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap My Watch, go to Wallet & Apple Pay, tap a card, tap Transactions, then turn Show History and Allow Notifications on or off.
Make a purchase within an app
When you’re shopping in an app on your Apple Watch, choose the Apple Pay option during checkout.
