I have Wallet on my M1 MacBook Air, iPhone 12 Pro and Watch 8.
But it has gone missing from my 2017 iMac running Ventura 13.1.
When going to Apple Pay on the iMac, it shows all the cards which are on the Watch and iPhone.
But, Wallet is missing from iMac System Preferences.
Why?
All my OSs are up to date.
iMac 27″ 5K
Q - " But it has gone missing from my 2017 iMac running Ventura 13.1."
A - I am not sure this specific feature " Wallet " is available on an Intel based computer or at least an Intel Computer without a Touch ID functionality
A - You made able to still use the Credit Cards to make a Payment but make sure they are appearing in Safari >> Setting and enable the " Credit Cards " is enabled and the Cards are appearing within that specific area.

I think there might be a slight mis-usage in the wording " taken away Wallet from my iMac "
As my learned colleague mentions, unless the computer is Configured ( internal component of the computer >> Secure Enclave ) it was never there even if using the Touch ID enabled Apple Keyboard
Refer to link below and specific to Apple Touch ID Keyboard
Apple Support eventually worked out that Touch ID is required for Wallet on an iMac, which is not possible with an Intel chip, even with a Touch ID wireless keyboard installed.
So, they've quietly taken away Wallet from my iMac 🙄
Oh well.
Do you mean to say it was there, before, and now gone. Wallet and ApplePay requires a Secure Enclave.
A 2017 iMac doesn’t have a T2, so it doesn’t have a Secure Enclave.
The TouchID keyboards are only for Apple Silicon Macs.
Hi - before I got my M1 MacBook I solely used my Intel iMac, and was able to use Apple Pay.
My memory is sketchy, but I feel sure I had set up Apple Pay via the Wallet in settings. I certainly used Apple Pay on the iMac to make purchases, without using cards from my iPhone or Watch.
When I phoned Apple Support, the very helpful chap in India couldn't figure what was happening, as with the very nice chap he escalated the issue to in Ireland. Both thought Wallet should be present in Settings.
And that was how it was left.
You are probably right in your comments... the weird bit to me is being able to use Apple Pay on the iMac pre-Ventura. Indeed, I would have used it to buy my M1 MacBook Air.
You may be able to make a Purchase using Apple Pay IF your iPhone and computer are close together and Both have Bluetooth On.
At time of Purchase on the computer, the Alert on the iPhone would appear and you would Authorize the Payment on that device ( iPhone).
This I have experience but only once so maybe @ Barney-15E can assist in greater detail
There are Intel Computer equipped with the T2 Chip as well as Apple M1 / M2 Apple Silicon Computers
refer to link below
Mac models with the Apple T2 Security Chip - Apple Support (CA)
So are you saying that Mac with intel won't support Apple Pay & wallet option anymore .. It will only work for M1 enabled chip?
Not seeing that setting - and Spotlight isn't showing it either as a setting option!
