How Does Apple Pay work?

Before breaking down the details concerning Apple Pay, lets highlight how this feature really works.

As we said, Apple Pay is focused on letting you make payments without needing to move about with your physical wallet. This Apple feature is dependent on a different iPhone application named Wallet.

Wallet, formerly referred to as Passbook, is an iOS app that stands for your digital wallet. Therefore, you will be able to add all of your credit and debit cards into this remarkable simple-to-use digital wallet. Plus, you can add and manage several coupons, film tickets, reward cards, boarding passes e.t.c. Because Wallet is a “compulsory” if you intend to use Apple Pay, ensure it is set up first.
