Apple Pay is a safe and easy way to pay for products in Portugal using your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac.

Apple Pay can also be used to pay for items online or through applications by linking straight to your debit or credit card.

Of course, Apple Pay in Portugal also works with VISA and MasterCard accounts.

How do I use Apple Pay in Portugal?

You can use Apple Pay in stores with this symbol, within the iPhone app, or on the web in Safari. Some countries may need a PIN if the transaction exceeds a particular threshold. In some situations, you may need to sign a receipt. Because Apple Pay isn’t part of the Multibanco system in Portugal, if a store or restaurant only accepts Multibanco, check with the ATM first.

Using Apple Pay in the Store

You can use Apple Pay from Portugal wherever you can see contactless symbols or Apple logos at the checkout counter.

Touch ID is activated by placing your phone on the card reader and touching the home button on your phone. That’s it!

To use Apple Pay with your Face ID or iPhone password, double-click the side button on your phone, view the phone screen, or enter your password.

Using Apple Pay Online

If you are on a website that allows Apple Wallet, click the Apple Pay logo and follow the instructions. As with face-to-face transactions, you can use your Face ID, Touch ID, or password to confirm your purchase.
