To add a credit card to your Apple ID, follow these steps within your Apple device settings:
-
Open Wallet & Apple Pay settings: The location of these settings depends on your device:
- iPhone: Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay.
- iPad: Go to Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay.
- Mac: Go to System Settings (or System Preferences) > Wallet & Apple Pay.
-
Select Add Card: Tap or click "Add Card." You may see options like "Debit or Credit Card."
-
Follow the on-screen instructions: You'll typically have the option to manually enter your card details or scan your card using the device's camera. Enter your card number, expiration date, security code (CVV), and billing address.
-
Verify with your bank or card issuer: Apple will likely need to verify your card with your bank or card issuer. This may involve receiving a verification code via SMS, email, or phone call. Follow the prompts to complete the verification process.
After completing these steps, your credit card will be added to your Apple ID and can be used for purchases in the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Pay, and other Apple services.
