apple pay defaults to my debit card despite being set up with another card as default

When I physically pay with my phone, it goes to the correct card. But several times lately, on-line purchases have charge my debit card, a card I only use to sign in to the bank to get cash and never to pay for items. And which alerts my co-account holder every purchase, which violates my privacy. How can I get it to use my preferred default payment method, instead? I don't want to delete the card, as I do use it at the bank.

iPhone 15, iOS 17

Sorry, I don't get your answer. The vendor I paid didn't choose where the money came from -- I am set up on apple pay to use a certain card as default, and it/ its bot (or whatever the mechanism in use) didn't do that, but rather took it from my ATM/debit card. I never set myself up to do that, and wouldn't. What I'd like to know is, how to curtail this practice.
