It will use the default card (Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Default Card) unless you select another as describe in the following from Using Apple Pay in stores, within apps, and on the web - Apple Support
Pay with a different card instead of your default card
Here's how to switch cards:
- iPhone X or later: Double-click the side button. When your default card appears, tap it, then tap to choose another card. Glance at your iPhone to authenticate with Face ID, then hold the top of your device near the reader to pay.
- iPhone 8 or earlier: Hold your device near the reader without resting your finger on Touch ID. When your default card appears, tap it, then tap to choose another card. Rest your finger on Touch ID to pay.
- Apple Watch: Double-click the side button. When your default card appears, swipe left or right to choose another card. Hold your watch near the reader to pay.
