Adding Apple Pay to your Apple Watch is a convenient way to make secure and effortless payments. Follow the detailed steps below to set up Apple Pay on your device.
1. Open the Apple Watch App
To begin, open the Apple Watch app on your paired iPhone. This serves as the gateway to managing your Apple Watch settings and apps.
2. Navigate to Wallet & Apple Pay
Within the Apple Watch app, tap on “My Watch,” and then select “Wallet & Apple Pay.” This is where you can manage your payment methods on the watch.
3. Add a Card
If you have cards stored on other Apple devices or recently removed cards, tap on “Add” next to the card you wish to add to your Apple Watch. You will be prompted to enter the card’s CVV for verification purposes.
4. Adding a New Card
To add a new card that is not associated with your other Apple devices, tap on “Add Card.” Follow the onscreen instructions to input the card details accurately.

If you have multiple cards added to your Apple Watch, designate one as the default payment method. This card will be used for transactions unless you specify otherwise.
