Apple Pay is now available to everyone, as long as all physical and online transaction requirements are met. But you can’t just go to your store, shake your iPhone and take what you want, that would be robbery. Instead, you need the following to enable a satisfying Apple Pay experience.
- Hardware: iPhone 6 or 6 Plus for resellers; iPad Air 2 or Mini 3 or iPhone 6 or 6 Plus for in-app transactions
- Software: iOS 8.1 (only because it was available earlier in the day)
- Touch the ID configured on your device with at least one registered fingerprint
- A credit or debit card from one of Apple’s first payment partners
- An iCloud account
After setting everything up, you can pay with the MyWegmansConnect cards you’ve already saved in iTunes or add a new one. Adding a new one is as easy as photographing your plastic and manually inserting the security code on your back. You can also enter all the information manually if you don’t want to use the camera. If the card is compatible, it will be verified and available for purchase. If not, call your bank and ask them to contact the program.
The Security Factor
If you are using an already registered card, simply enter the security code on the back to authorize the use and accept the Apple Pay terms of use. Once you’re done, you can go now.

Applications that are also compatible with Apple Pay have already been implemented online. So check out their update column or stay updated on the Resources page, where Apple appears in many of them. You can authenticate purchases with your fingerprint if you have registered them with Touch ID, or use your access code if this does not work for some reason. Apple Pay is secure with the payment information storage and transfer system that does not share credit card information with merchants through NFC and works with your existing cards, including rewards programs, etc. .
