Apple Pay offers a simple and convenient way to pay for purchases that are compatible with the Apple Pay feature. In most cases it is faster than paying with an alternative method. When you set up Apple Pay, you need to register a credit or debit card, which will be the funding source for any payments that you make via Apple Pay.
