How to use Apple Pay on your Apple Watch

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. 

Apple Pay is easy to use with an Apple Watch. Let’s look at how to set it up. 

First you need to have Apple Pay implemented in the iPhone that the Apple Watch is paired with. To learn how, go here

  1. On your paired iPhone, open the Apple Watch app.
  2. In the My Watch tab, tap Wallet & Apple Pay.
  3. Tap Add Card.
    • Tap Debit or Credit Card to add a new card.
    • Tap Previous Card to add a card that you used previously.
  4. Tap Continue.
  5. Follow the steps on the screen to add your card.
  6. If necessary, verify your information with the bank or card issuer. They might ask you to provide more information or to download an app before approving your card for use with Apple Pay.
