What is Apple Pay?
Apple Pay allows users to store credit and debit information in their Wallet App, and then make payments using an iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac, or Vision Pro.
Using Apple Pay is an excellent way to pay for items without risking losing your wallet. You can also use Apple Pay to send and receive money with Apple Cash in Messages or the Wallet App.

- After selecting which card you want to use, select Continue.
- Tap or hold your card close to your iPhone to add it or manually enter your card details.
- Complete the final authentication steps to finalize the process.
After setting up Apple Pay, you must confirm any payment made on the PlayStation Store on that device.
