There is no Wallet & Apple Pay preferences pane on my MacBook. How do I set up Apple Pay?

Hello,


I can not access any preferences pane for "Wallet & Apple Pay". How do I set up Apple Pay on my MacBook?


System specs:

- MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2016), 1.1 GHz Intel Core m3, 8GB Memory

- Running the latest version of MacOS. Version 10.12.2 (16C67)

- Running the latest version of Safari. Version 10.0.2 (12602.3.12.0.1)

- Region is set to Australia (Apple Pay compatible Region)


Other information:

- I have successfully set up Apple Pay and added cards to the wallet on iPhone 7 and Apple Watch (1st Generation)

- "Wallet & Apple Pay" comes up in spotlight search but when executed the following error message comes up:

You can’t open the “Wallet & Apple Pay” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time.

To see this preferences pane, you may need to connect a device to your computer.

Any ideas what the issue is here?


Thanks.

Apple Pay, macOS Sierra (10.12.2)

Hi


There is not supposed to be a Wallet & Apple Pay pane in System Preferences on your MacBook.


To use Apple Pay on supported websites using a MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and Touch ID (Late 2016 models onwards):


Add a card (or cards) to your Mac via Systems Preferences > Wallet & Apple Pay.


To use Apple Pay on supported websites on older Macs (supported for models from 2012 and newer with an Apple Pay-enabled iPhone or Apple Watch):


  • Check that you are signed in to your Mac, iPhone and Apple Watch with the same iCloud account.
  • Check that Bluetooth is enabled on your Mac.
  • On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay - turn on Allow Payments on Mac.
  • On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay - turn on Allow Payments on Mac.


In either case, also:


On your Mac, open Safari > Preferences > Privacy (tab) > check the box for Apple Pay.
