Apple Pay error on Apple Watch series 4 Recently bought an Apple Watch and I’ve been trying to set up Apple Pay on it but every time I try to add my cards it comes up with an error message. move tried all the typical fixes I could find - resetting, unpairing, signing in and out, changing the region back and forth. Nothing has worked at all. Can anyone help?

“Could not set up Apple Pay an error occurred while setting up Apple Pay”. Upgraded to Apple Watch 9 and am getting this error on all cards amd Apple Cash. I’ve tried turning phone and watch on and off, and, because I had previously had Quick Actions and briefly had Assistive Touch turned on, I turned those both off. Under assistive touch, when I toggle off “confirm with assistive touch”, it turns itself back on. Not sure if that’s related (another post mentioned it may be), but I’m stuck and need some advice. Thanks!

Cannot add Apple Pay cards to Watch I have a new iPhone 15 Pro Max and a new Apple Watch (model A982 Version 10.1 (21S67) but when I try and add my Apple Pay cards to my watch via the Watch App on my phone, I just get "Could Not Set Up Apple Pay - An error occurred while setting up Apple Pay". I get this with both payment cards, and a different error when I try to add my BMW key when I get "Cannot Add Car Key - there was a problem adding this BMW key to Wallet". All of this worked fine on my iPhone 12 and my previous Apple Watch. All software is up to date.

Hi oisin18,

For setting up Apple Pay on your watch, we'd recommend following Set up Apple Pay on Apple Watch - Apple Support

If you've done this and still get the error, you'll need to reach out to Apple directly to look into this with you further. Get Support
