I am trying to add Apple Pay to my Apple Watch, but I keep on getting this error:
Could Not Set Up Apple Pay An error occurred while setting up Apple Pay (this error is seen trying to add from the watch app on my phone)
when I try to add from the watch directly it says “could not add card, try again later or contact your card issuer for more information”
however, the bak supports Apple Pay with iPhone and watch too.
any ideas how to fix it?
Did you successfully set up and use Apple Pay with the same card on your iPhone?
In case you missed some steps, have a look at this related article again:
Set up Apple Pay - Apple Support
Are there already cards installed on your watch?
If the card you want to install is already on the list in the settings for the Wallet App in your Watch App on the iPhone, try to delete it and add it back, using the Watch App again.
