It’s no secret that Amazon is one of the go-to retailers for Black Friday savings. This year, the mega retailer’s Black Friday shopping event kicks off on Nov. 21 and runs through Dec. 2 — and as in previous years, deals started pouring in on Apple products, smartwatches, TVs, and much more days (weeks, even) prior.
Avid shoppers keeping their eyes on exclusive Black Friday deals can enjoy a breezy shopping experience while they benefit from major deals this season, thanks to Amazon’s flexible payment options. Customers are no longer limited to debit and credit cards, or Amazon gift cards. If you’re an Apple loyalist, you can also use Apple Pay to make purchases on Amazon.

Apple Pay is compatible with most — but not all — vendors on Amazon, making it even easier to secure deals in just a few taps. You can use it in place of a traditional card payment whenever possible by following the steps below.
How to use Apple Pay on Amazon
Step 1: Set up Apple Pay on iPhone. If you haven’t already, add your debit or credit card to your iPhone’s digital wallet to set up Apple Pay on your mobile device.
Step 2: Open the Amazon app.
Step 3: Add items to your cart and go to checkout. If your vendor accepts Apple Pay, you’ll see it under payment options (you can use the method only if you have linked a card to your iPhone’s Wallet app); select Apple Pay.
Step 4: Confirm your address and payment details.
Step 5: Once Apple Pay’s payment authenticator pops up on your screen, use your Face ID or Touch ID to authenticate the purchase.
