Can you use Apple pay in Apple store app (UK) which uses iTunes credit?

If buying on my iPhone using the Apple store uk app, if I chose Apple pay will it use iTunes credit I have first or ignore that and use my registered credit card?


I have quite a bit credit on iTunes as bought a few discounted cards, and I'm thinking I could build up more as sometimes get 20% off so would be good saving?

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), null

You appear to be confusing the different types of store and their respective payment methods.


You can pay using Apple Pay within participating apps that sell physical goods and services - for example: groceries, clothing, tickets. On your iPhone or iPad, you can do this within such apps when you see the Buy with Apple Pay button or Apple Pay as a payment method:

You cannot use Apple Pay within the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store or Mac App Store. These are the places where you can use iTunes credit / cards / codes. This is also where any available credits will be used before your card or PayPal account is charged with any remaining balance.
