How is the payment made?
Apple Pay payments at merchants are made quickly and easily, in just a few steps:
1. Unlock your Apple device and hold it near the POS terminal to confirm the payment.
2. Hold your Apple device near the POS terminal, just like you would with your payment card (if your device is not recognized, you need to double-click the 'Home' button to activate Apple Pay).
If you are paying with an Apple Watch, only the first transaction will require these two steps. For each subsequent transaction, no authorization is needed as long as the watch remains on your wrist—simply hold the watch near the POS terminal.
If you remove the watch from your wrist, the payment process will need to be repeated as explained above.
