Unlock Your iPhone
Use Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode to unlock your iPhone. In some cases, you just need to wake the phone by tapping the screen or pressing the side button.
Open Apple Pay
Double-click the side button to activate Apple Pay. Your default card will appear, and you can switch cards by tapping the stack.
Hold Near Payment Terminal
Look for the contactless payment symbol. Hold your iPhone within 1-2 inches of the terminal's NFC reader.

Use Face ID, Touch ID, or enter your passcode to authorize the payment. Once authenticated, the transaction proceeds automatically.
Wait for Confirmation
Your iPhone will vibrate and show a confirmation with a checkmark or "Done" message once the payment is processed successfully.

The merchant may provide a physical receipt, and you'll see the transaction in your Wallet app for your records.
