How to use Apple Pay on Amazon when Black Friday shopping
Amazon’s highly anticipated Black Friday 2025 sale is set to begin on November 20, a full week before Thanksgiving, and will run through Cyber Monday on December 1. This year, the online retail giant is rolling out deals even earlier, with discounts on popular items such as Apple products, Lego sets, outdoor gear, and a wide array of tech gadgets starting in early November. For avid shoppers eager to snag exclusive offers, Amazon is enhancing the shopping experience with flexible payment options, making it easier than ever to take advantage of these limited-time deals.
A significant highlight for Apple enthusiasts is the ability to use Apple Pay for purchases on Amazon. This feature allows customers to make transactions using their mobile devices, streamlining the checkout process. To use Apple Pay, customers must first set it up on their iPhones by adding their debit or credit card to the digital wallet. Once set up, shoppers can simply select Apple Pay at checkout if the vendor accepts it, confirming their purchase with Face ID or Touch ID for added security. This convenience is particularly appealing during the busy holiday shopping season, as it enables quick and secure transactions with just a few taps.
For those who prefer using their Apple Card but encounter vendors that do not accept Apple Pay, there is a straightforward workaround. Users can add their Apple Card to the Amazon app by navigating through their account settings. By linking their Apple Card, shoppers can still enjoy the benefits of using this payment method while shopping for deals on Amazon. With the combination of early sales, exclusive deals, and flexible payment options, the 2025 Black Friday event promises to be a shopping extravaganza that caters to the needs of all consumers, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience as they prepare for the holiday season.
