How do I add Samsung Pay to my smartwatch?
If you have a compatible Galaxy Wearable device, you can add Samsung Pay for secure payments on the go; however, it is essential to understand that wearable devices only support NFC. As MST is not supported on Galaxy Wearable devices, you will need to use a pay terminal that supports contactless payments.
To set up Samsung Pay:
1. Begin by opening the Galaxy Wearable
2. Then tap Samsung Pay on the Home tab.
3. You can tap the “+” button in the upper – right hand corner to add credit or debit cards, similar to on your smartphone.
Once Samsung Pay is entirely set up on your Galaxy Wearable, you’ll be able to pay for transactions using your smartwatch , as well as view any recent purchase that may have been made through the service.
Note: The watch and smartphone will only show transactions that have been made on their hardware – they are not shared between devices. Samsung Pay is only available on select phone and watch models.
To use Samsung Pay on your smart watch with a non- Samsung phone, you must update to Android 6.0 or higher.
