QuestionHow do I use it to pay?Community AnswerThere are many stores with Apple Pay. If you are at the checkout of a place that has Apple Pay, it should have a white box at the counter. Place your iOS device to the box until your device says the transaction is complete.

Tips
- All iOS 8 devices that have touch ID capabilities will need at least one finger set up. This one finger is necessary for when you pay with this method of money. Make sure you have set one up, and/or have the ability to set one up before setting up Apple Pay.Thanks
- There are a bunch of banks that are able to pull information for Apple Pay. If you aren't sure, it's best if you can use the camera on your device and have the device set up to look into this. Call your bank, if you still believe they are affiliated and if the device says it can't take your card in.Thanks

Warnings
- Not all 8.1 devices are equipped to handle Apple Pay. Apple Pay needs Touch ID, and if it doesn't have Touch ID, you won't find the setup options in the settings app on your device, meaning you won't have Apple Pay to use at your disposal, no matter how hard you try to find or use it.Thanks
