And to use Apple Pay on websites in Safari, your device must be running iOS 9 or later or macOS Sierra version 10.12 or later.

If your device is compatible with Apple Pay but you still can’t set it up, try restarting your device. If that doesn’t work, make sure that you’re signed in to iCloud with apple id and that Siri is turned on.

To see if your bank or card issuer is support, check the list of support issuers or contact your bank or card issuer.
