Samsung Pay is an incredibly convenient way to make payments on the go. Whether you’re shopping at your favorite store or ordering coffee, this feature makes transactions faster and easier. Unlike Apple Pay or Google Pay, Samsung Pay offers an added benefit—it works in stores that don’t have NFC (Near Field Communication) terminals. Let’s walk you through the steps to set it up and start using it confidently.


Step 1: Install the Samsung Pay App

If your Samsung phone doesn’t already have the Samsung Pay app, you can easily download it from the Google Play Store. Once installed, open the app and follow the on-screen instructions.


Step 2: Set Up Your Samsung Pay Account

Launch the app and log in with your Samsung account. If you don’t have one, the app will guide you to create it. After logging in, you’ll need to verify your account using your phone number or email.

To start using Samsung Pay, you’ll need to add your card details. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Tap on “Add Card” in the app.
  2. Use your phone’s camera to scan your card or enter the details manually.
  3. Follow the instructions to authenticate the card—this might include entering a one-time password (OTP).

Step 4: Customize Your Security Settings

Samsung Pay offers bio metric verification options like fingerprints or face recognition for added security. Set these up for a seamless and secure payment experience.


How to Make Payments Using Samsung Pay

Once everything is set up, making payments is a breeze. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Open the Samsung Pay app and select the card you want to use.
  2. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen or press the Samsung Pay shortcut.
  3. Place your phone near the payment terminal. For non-NFC stores, Samsung Pay’s MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) technology allows you to pay without any hassle.

Why Choose Samsung Pay?

Samsung Pay is more than just a digital wallet. It offers reward points for every transaction, which can be redeemed for discounts or exclusive deals. Additionally, its compatibility with both NFC and non-NFC terminals sets it apart from other payment methods.
