What is Apple Wallet?​

This is a payment utility that replaces the user's physical wallet.

In Apple Wallet, you can work with several payment tools at once:

• debit and credit cards of different banks (not current);
• discount cards;
• coupons;
• tickets.

Residents of some cities can add a transport card to the payment program. For example, to pay for public transport.

Apple Wallet is a system utility on iPhone version 9.0 and higher. It is installed by the developers. The owner of the mobile device will not be able to delete it. Compared to other payment programs, this software has advanced functionality.

On a note! On older iPhones version 8.0 and below, the Passbook utility is installed. This is an analog of a wallet with limited functionality. There is no Apple Wallet for Android devices. Other payment apps have been developed for phones with this operating system.

Wallet Cards for Business​

Many buyers today are willing to pay for goods using their phone and a payment app. For example, via Apple Wallet. Therefore, businesses should offer such solutions.

Depending on the type of activity, you can use several types of cards:

• loyalty programs;
• discount coupons;
• electronic tickets.

They can be used to motivate the buyer to take the desired action. Buy a product at a discount or take part in the promotion.

To work with the Vallet service, a business needs to create a personal account in Apple. To do this, you must register on the service's website on behalf of the company.

But before that, you need to:

1. Calculate efficiency. Working with electronic services allows you to save your budget, unlike standard methods in marketing. Issuing loyalty cards and sending SMS messages doesn't take much money. And the return on advertising may be higher.
2. Develop a communication strategy with your clients. It is important to offer a modern and useful solution. This will increase the chances of getting the desired action.
3. Create a card design and think through the functionality. They must be simple and clear.
4. Develop ways to issue electronic cards. For example, by using a QR code, sending SMS messages, or using social networks.

Using a boarding pass ticket or other ticket in Apple Wallet​

To perform this operation, you must:

1. Open a message that contains detailed information about your boarding pass or ticket. It can be sent via SMS or email.
2. Select "Add".
3. Follow further instructions.

If you can't add a ticket or ticket, then contact the company that issued them. They may not be supported in the wallet. Either a technical error occurred.

Are added coupons and tickets available on Apple Watch? Yes. Once added, they are automatically available in the paired smartwatch. This applies only to non-payment instruments. The process of adding bank cards in a smartwatch looks different.

How to use a ticket in Apple Wallet:

1. Opens the wallet.
2. Click on the payment card.
3. We select a ticket and pass verification.
4. We present the ticket to the cashier. We attach the mobile device to the terminal.

On the Apple Watch smartwatch, the procedure is roughly the same. The only thing is that you need to double-click on the side button to log in to your wallet. And when presenting the ticket, bring the watch to the reader.

Users who have tickets in their wallet can share them. Provided that such actions are authorized by the issuer. To do this, select the desired ticket in the program and click " More/Share". If this option is not available in the settings, the company does not allow you to share coupons.

Apple Wallet Security​

The payment app is highly secure. You don't have to worry about the security of your personal data. Security features ensure complete privacy of the wallet.

Developers protect the following data:

• Full name of the cardholder;
• details of all cards;
• discount coupon numbers;
• ticket and boarding pass details;
• transaction details;
• payment information.

When making a payment, for example, via Apple Pay, the program uses a token. This is a unique code used to transfer funds. The app itself does not disclose your bank card details at the time of payment.
