Add a payment card to the Wallet app
When you launch a new test session on a device that supports Apple Pay, the iOS Settings > Wallet prompt opens by default, asking you to add a payment card.

.
You can only test with one payment card during a test session. To test with a different payment card, you must launch another test session and select the preferred payment card.
Enhancements for Apple Pay stability
Apple provides sandboxed cards to BrowserStack as part of the Apple Pay setup process. In certain cases, these cards might fail because of network connectivity issues. As a result, the Apple Pay session can also fail.
BrowserStack provides stability information for both the card and its network provider on the dashboard. For manual testing products, if a card is experiencing stability issues, an indication appears in the dashboard next to the card.
Test payment workflows
To test payment workflows, follow these steps:
- In your app, trigger the payment workflow that uses Apple Pay as the payment method.
The payment method selection page with the sample card is displayed. - Click Pay with Passcode.
- On the Assistive Touch screen, click Apple Pay.
- Click Confirm Apple Pay.
- Enter the device passcode
123456
to authenticate your payment.
You have successfully completed testing your Apple Pay payment workflow.
In a test session, you can switch to another iOS device that supports the Apple Pay feature.
