Apple Pay is a contactless payment technology that allows you to speed through the checkout line with a tap of your Apple Watch or finish an online shopping spree without getting up from your couch to dig out your wallet. It was designed to move consumers away from physical wallets into a world where your debit and credit cards are on your iPhone or Apple Watch, allowing you to pay using your device instead of a card. Tapping your iPhone or Apple Watch instead of digging out a debit or credit card can speed you through the line faster, and it’s an even faster way to zip through the gate when taking public transit.
