Apple Pay is separate from Apple ID payment methods. They might use the same card, if supported for both.

The former is used for paying in shops; select brick-and-mortar shops as well as select online shops [e.g. physical objects].

The latter is used for e.g. paying in-app purchasable digital goods and services (when processed through Apple Financial Services) [e.g. game tokens, a rented movie, a subscription].


Apple Pay requires that the bank of card issuer supports Apple Pay specifically for that type of bank/​card account.
