How to use Apple Pay for online shopping via Safari on iPad without an iPhone?

I’d like to start using ApplePay when shopping online via Safari, using my iPad, with no iPhone available.

Is there a step-by-step tutorial for this? I already my Apple Card and savings set up in my Settings.

Thanks.

ApplePay must be setup separately for each of your Apple devices. To use ApplePay with iPad, you must register your Credit/Debit Card(s) in the Wallet & ApplePay section of your iPad settings:

Settings > Wallet & ApplePay


More information can be found here:

You should note that ApplePay is entirely independent of registering your payment methods for AutoFill in Safari Settings - and, typically, you will populate your Payment Cards in both areas of your device settings:

Settings > Apps > Safari > [General] AutoFill >

  • Credit Cards - set to ON
  • Saved Credit Cards - enter card details for AutoFill here

Thanks for of the info & links.

The one covering using Apple Pay on the web, it simply said:

"You can make purchases using Apple Pay in apps, in App Clips, and on the web using Safari wherever you see the Apple Pay button." And then, "On an iPad with Touch ID: Authenticate with Touch ID or enter your passcode." So far, so good. But, there's no mention of what to do when presented with a QR code when checking out (which is what happened on a recent purchase attempt using a browser). Do I just use the Touch ID anyway, and the QR code will disappear? I thought I'd need to use my iPad to some how read the QR code in the browser...if that is even possible.

PS: I have tried using my iPhone 8 to scan the QR code, but it's not supported by iOS18 which appears to be required. (I know, get a new phone...but that needs to wait a bit. :-(
