You can start using Apple Pay as soon as you add your first credit or debit card to Passbook®.
To add a credit or debit card on iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, open Passbook and tap Plus icon in the upper-right corner.
If you have a credit or debit card from a participating bank on file with iTunes®, you'll be asked to add it. You can also choose to add a different card using the iSight® camera or by entering your card information manually. Then your bank will decide whether to approve adding your card to Apple Pay. They might ask you to provide more information to complete the verification process.
To add a credit or debit card on iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3, go to Settings > Passbook & Apple Pay, tap Add Credit or Debit Card, and then follow the same steps for iPhone above.

Where and how can I use Apple Pay to pay in a store or within apps?
You can use Apple Pay with your iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and Apple Watch to pay in stores that accept contactless payments.
Some stores might have this symbol on their card readers and point of sale terminals, but they might not be currently set up to accept contactless payments, including Apple Pay. At the current time, this includes 7-Eleven®, Home Depot®, Jack in the Box®, Rite Aid®, and CVS® but the list grows every day. Apple updates the list of merchants frequently so check their Where to Use Apple Pay site to see if your favorite merchant is Apple Pay ready.
On iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air 2, and iPad mini 3, you can use Apple Pay to pay within apps when you see the Buy with Apple Pay or Apple Pay button as a payment method.

As you do today with a plastic credit or debit card, you might need to sign a receipt, depending on the store and the transaction amount.

Apple Pay is more secure than using a traditional credit or debit card. Every transaction on your iPhone or iPad requires you to authenticate with Touch ID or your passcode. Your Apple Watch is protected by the passcode that only you know, and your passcode is required every time you put on your Apple Watch. Your card number and identity aren't shared with the merchant, and your actual card numbers aren't stored on your device or on Apple servers.
back to top
When you pay in stores, neither Apple nor your device sends your actual credit or debit card numbers to merchants. When you pay in apps, the merchant will only receive information like name, email address, billing and shipping addresses you authorize to share to fulfill your order. Apple Pay retains anonymous transaction information such as approximate purchase amount. This information can't be tied back to you and never includes what you're buying. Apps that use Apple Pay must have a privacy policy that you can view which governs the use of your data.

With Apple Pay, you authorize each purchase with Touch ID or your passcode. And every time you put on your Apple Watch, you need to enter your passcode to access it. These features help prevent other people from using Apple Pay on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch.
