How to update your Apple Pay information

FastSpring — where SaaS, software, and video game companies sell online — has released two new payment methods across its checkouts: Apple Pay and Pix and customized payment experience optimization with Preferred Payment Method. 

When you enter billing and contact information for a payment card in Apple Wallet, Apple Pay stores the information and uses it when you make purchases online and within apps.

How to update your Apple Pay billing information

  • iPhone: In the Wallet app, tap a card > the More button (a circle with three dots)  > Card Details  > Billing Address.*
  • Apple Watch: In the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap Wallet & Apple Pay > a card > Billing Address.
  • iPad: In Settings, tap Wallet & Apple Pay > a card > Billing Address.
  • Mac with Touch ID: In System Settings (or System Preferences), click Wallet & Apple Pay > a card > the Billing Address menu.

* In iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 and earlier, you don’t see the option to tap Card Details.

How to update your Apple Pay contact information

  • iPhone: Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > scroll down to Transaction Defaults and update your shipping address, email, and phone number.
  • Apple Watch: In the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, tap Wallet & Apple Pay > scroll down to Transaction Defaults and update your shipping address, email, and phone number.
  • iPad: Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > scroll down to Transaction Defaults and update your shipping address, email, and phone number.
  • Mac with Touch ID: In System Settings (or System Preferences), go to Wallet & Apple Pay > Click Contact and Shipping, and update your shipping address, email, and phone number. 

Update your Apple Pay card number and expiration date

With Apple Pay, your payment card has a unique Device Account Number used to process payments and an expiration date associated with that Device Account Number.

If your card expires or you otherwise get a new card:

  • The card number and expiration date linked to the Device Account Number should be updated automatically. 
  • If your card issuer doesn’t support these updates, you might need to remove the card and add it again.

If your device is lost or stolen

If your device is lost or stolen, Apple Pay has security features to make sure that other people can’t use Apple Pay on your device.

  • To use Apple Pay, you need to authorize each purchase with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode.
  • On your Apple Watch with Wrist Detection on, you need to enter your passcode every time you put on your Apple Watch.
  • You can mark your device as lost, which automatically turns off Apple Pay on your device.
  • You can also call your card issuer to suspend or remove cards from Apple Pay.
