How do I choose which card to make a payment with?
The first card you add to Apple Pay becomes your default payment card and will remain so unless you change it.
To change your default card:
- Face ID iPhones: Double-click the side button. When your default card appears, tap it, then tap to choose another card. Glance at your iPhone to authenticate with Face ID, then hold the top of your device near the reader to pay.
- iPhone 8 or earlier: Hold your device near the reader without resting your finger on Touch ID. When your default card appears, tap it, then tap to choose another card. Rest your finger on Touch ID to pay.
- Apple Watch: Double-click the side button. When your default card appears, swipe left or right to choose another card. Hold your watch near the reader to pay.
