Check whether a store, app or webshop supports Apple Pay
Wednesday, December 25 • Wesley Fabry
With Apple Pay it is possible to make purchases using your iPhone, iPad and even Mac and pay with Apple’s payment service. You can easily check and recognize which stores, apps and web shops support Apple Pay.
On Apple’s website you will find a number of highlighted physical stores that accept Pay, but this is only a small selection. In principle, you can pay anywhere with your iPhone or Apple Watch as long as the retailer supports contactless payment. But there is more, it is also possible to use Apple Pay in apps and on websites.
View payment history of Apple Pay transactions
Thursday, August 3 • Wesley Fabry
Apple Pay ensures that you can always pay easily and quickly using your iPhone or Apple Watch. With every transaction you build up a payment history that you can of course find on your bank statements.
But there is more, for every Apple Pay payment you will receive a notification of the transaction with the necessary additional data and all your payments will be collected. These can not only be found in the Wallet app on your iPhone, but the payment details are also available on the Apple Watch, iPad and Mac.
Pay with your Apple Watch

Apple Pay makes it very easy to pay at the cash register with your iPhone, but it can be even faster. If you own an Apple Watch, paying is completely child’s play.
Just like the iPhone, the Apple Watch has an NFC chip built in that can be used to make contactless payments at cash registers and ATMs. Before you can make payments, you must activate Apple Pay on the Watch and activate some security options so that you can pay easily and quickly.
Set default card or change payment card name
Wednesday, June 1 • Wesley Fabry
Now that Apple Pay is supported by more and more banks in the Netherlands, there is a good chance that you have added multiple debit cards to the Wallet app. More and more Apple Pay users are asking us whether it is possible to give a name to the payment card in the app or to change it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to name your payment cards. You will therefore have to remember which payment card belongs to which account based on the last four digits, which can be a difficult job if you have linked multiple payment cards from the same bank. Fortunately, you can choose a standard card.
Solution when Apple Pay is triggered when checking in on public transport
Thursday, January 25 • Wesley Fabry
You can use OVpay to pay for public transport using your debit card. If you are still using QR or barcodes, Apple Pay or Google Pay may be triggered by the public transport gates at the stations.
This is because the ports use the NFC chip in your device. The columns can trigger this chip in the iPhone and automatically activate Apple Pay. For example, you cannot scan the QR code because your bank card appears on the screen. Sven Boor gave us an excellent tip: the free ‘Travel Ticket’ app.
