Apple Pay with a debit card works seamlessly for contactless payments and online purchases. First, add your debit card to the Wallet app on your iPhone or Apple Watch by following the on-screen instructions. Once your card is added, you can use Apple Pay at stores by holding your device near the contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID, or by double-clicking the side button and looking at your device for Face ID. For online or app purchases, select Apple Pay at checkout and confirm your payment. Transactions are secure and private, as Apple Pay uses a device-specific number and unique transaction code, so your card numbers are never shared with merchants.
