[Guest davidrobert]

There are several reasons why Apple Pay might not be working and troubleshooting steps will depend on the specific issue. Here are some common problems and their solutions of why isn't Apple Pay working:

Card Issuer Doesn't Support Apple Pay:

Solution: Check if your bank or credit card company supports Apple Pay. You can find a list of participating issuers on Apple's website: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204916

Alternative: If your card issuer doesn't support Apple Pay, consider using a different card or contacting your issuer to inquire about future support.

Outdated Software:

Solution: Update your device to the latest version of iOS, watchOS, or macOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

Alternative: If updating is not possible, check if your device is still compatible with Apple Pay.
