Amazon is one of the largest online retailers in the world, and it offers a wide variety of products and services. But does Amazon take Apple Pay?
The short answer is no; Amazon does not accept Apple Pay.
Furthermore, you cannot use Apple Pay to pay for purchases made at Amazon brick-and-mortar stores, such as Amazon Go stores and Amazon Books stores. But there are a couple of workarounds.
In this article, we’ll explain how to use Apple Pay on Amazon as well as answer some common questions about using Apple Pay on Amazon.
How Can I Pay With Apple Pay on Amazon?
- While you may not be able to pay with Apple Pay when shopping on Amazon.com or using the Amazon mobile app, you can use your Apple Card to make Amazon purchases like any other credit card.
- Even though Amazon does not accept Apple pay, numerous payment options are available. These options include:
- FSA and HSA cards
- Venmo
- Credit cards
- Debit cards
- Personal checking accounts
- EBT cards
- When shopping in-store at Whole Foods, you can use Apple Pay.
Whole Foods Market, which Amazon owns, accepts Apple Pay. Because this Amazon-owned company supports Apple Pay, it’s possible that Amazon will accept Apple Pay for purchases in the future. - Some vendors accept Apple Pay using Amazon Payment Services to process payments.
This means that if you’re shopping online on a website that doesn’t use Amazon’s payment solution to process digital payments, you’ll frequently see the option to check out with Apple Pay. This does not imply that Amazon accepts Apple Pay; instead, it refers to retailers who use Amazon’s payment processor to sell items on other websites.
How to use an Apple Card on Amazon
Unfortunately, unlike other shopping sites, Amazon does not seamlessly integrate Apple Pay into its checkout system.
However, if you have an Apple Card, you can enter your card information just like any other credit or debit card. This is accomplished by finding your Apple Card number and then pasting it into the Amazon entry field.
You can add a card to your account directly or at the end of the online checkout process for future checkout options.
Amazon Apple Card Integration
Step 1: Launch the Amazon Mobile application
If you want to use your Apple Card to pay for Amazon purchases, add it to your Amazon wallet and choose it as your payment method during checkout. Tap the app icon, which resembles the side of a box with an Amazon smile on it.
If you don’t already have an Apple Card, you can apply for one if you have an Apple Pay-enabled device and meet the other requirements listed on the Apple website.
Step 2: Select the account icon
This appears to be a person’s outline at the bottom of your screen.
Step 3: Select Your Account
It appears as a tile near the top of your screen.
Step 4: Scroll to the bottom and select Your Payments
Scroll down until you reach the “Payments” section. Your Payment is the first item on the list.
Step 5: Tap + Add to the right of “Cards & Accounts”
This is close to the top of the Wallet tab, which is open by default.
Step 6: Select the Add a credit or debit card option and Enter your Apple Card details.
If you don’t know the information for your Apple Card, open the Wallet app on your iPhone, tap the Apple Card, and then tap the card number icon (located in the upper right corner).
If you want to use this card for all purchases, check the box next to “Set as default payment method.”
Step 7: Select Save
Your card information will be saved and added to your Wallet, and you will see a confirmation.
When you make an Amazon purchase in the future, you can select your Apple Card in “Payment information” (you can skip this if you have your Apple Card set as your default payment method).
How to Use Apple Card on Amazon on an iPhone
Cards can be used in your Amazon digital wallet, but they must first be added as payment methods. To add your Apple Card as a payment method on Amazon, follow these steps:
- Launch the Amazon app.
- At the bottom of the screen, tap the account icon.
- Select Your Account.
- Select Your Payments.
- Tap +Add (small text to the right of Cards & accounts) in the Wallet tab.
- Select Activate a credit or debit card.
- Input your card information. If you don’t know your Apple Card number, open Wallet, tap the credit card icon in the upper right, and copy the number; then return to the Amazon app and paste it in.
- After you’ve entered the information, check the box next to Set as default payment method if you want to use your Apple Card every time.
- Save the information. You will receive confirmation that the payment method was successfully added.
If you set your Apple Card as the default payment method the next time you check out on Amazon, it will automatically bill that card. Tap Payment Information if you haven’t already done so. - Tap Continue after selecting your Apple Card.
- Continue with the checkout process as usual.
How to Transfer Apple Cash to Your Bank
If you do not have an Apple Card, you can transfer Apple Cash to a bank account instead. After that, you’ll be able to use your debit card to make purchases on Amazon as usual.
That’s how you use an Apple Card to make Amazon purchases. I’m sure more vendors will allow you to pay with Apple Pay on Amazon very soon, but until then, this is a pretty good option.
Which Amazon sellers take Apple Pay?
There is no definitive list of Apple Pay vendors. You must confirm with each vendor whether they accept the digital wallet. You should see logos for various payment methods on the checkout page. You’re good to go if the Apple Pay logo appears. Amazon automatically saves your payment information, so when filling out your payment information, you can simply select Apple Pay from a drop-down menu.
If the Apple Pay logo is not visible on the checkout page, you must use another payment method, such as a credit or debit card. You can also try one of the workaround solutions listed below to avoid this issue.
