How to change Apple Pay from passcode to Face ID

When my wife first set up Apple Pay, she set it up to require a passcode for purchases. Now she wants to change it to use facial recognition instead. How can she change this?

Actually, since I posted this question, we figured it out. It was just toggling on "Contactless & Payments" in the "Face ID & Passcodes" settings. Thank you, however!
