Used Apple Pay in a shop

Though it was July 2015 when Apple Pay was introduced in the UK, I have never actually used it until August this year! I bought some parking on my phone and used Apple Pay to pay for it.

It was only today that I actually used Apple Pay at a till! I paid for some shopping using the system at one of those “unexpected item in the bagging area” machine.

I know I should know this, but it was quite a seamless experience. I did have to double tap, which I didn’t think I would need to do.

Well done that now, do I need to do it again? Probably not.

Used Apple Pay for the first time…

Though it was July 2015 when Apple Pay was introduced in the UK, I have never actually used it until today!

I bought some parking on my phone and used Apple Pay to pay for it. Seamless process as I didn’t have an account for that particular parking app and hadn’t registered a card with it either. This is how I usually use other parking apps.

Having entered my car registration and duration, I then paid using Apple Pay, which only required a double click on my phone.

It was only a couple of weeks ago I had added a payment card to Apple Wallet, and hadn’t had an opportunity where Apple Pay could be used easily. If I could use contactless, then I would usually use that.
