Apple Pay not working for Target could be due to a few different reasons. Here are some possible explanations:
1. Outdated App Version: Make sure you have the latest version of the Target app installed on your iPhone. Sometimes, Apple Pay may not work if you are using an outdated app version that is not compatible with the latest iOS updates. Check the App Store for any available updates and install them if necessary.
2. Incorrect Payment Settings: Double-check your Apple Pay settings within the Target app. Go to the app’s settings or payment options and ensure that Apple Pay is enabled and properly set up. You may need to re-add your payment card to refresh the connection between Apple Pay and the Target app.
3. Address Mismatch: Apple Pay requires that your billing and shipping addresses match. If you recently moved or made changes to your address, verify that both your billing and shipping addresses in your Apple Pay settings are correct. Delete and re-add them if necessary, making sure not to add the new address from a contact entry, as this can sometimes cause issues.
4. Regional Restrictions: Apple Pay availability may vary depending on your region or country. Ensure that Apple Pay is supported in your location and that Target accepts Apple Pay as a payment method. You can check Apple’s website or Target’s customer support for more information on Apple Pay availability.
5. Technical Glitches: Occasionally, there may be technical glitches or temporary issues with the Target app or Apple Pay system. In such cases, it’s best to wait a while and try again later. If the problem persists, you can contact Target’s customer support or Apple Support for further assistance.
Personal experience: I have encountered issues with Apple Pay not working in certain apps before. In one instance, I realized that my app was not updated to the latest version, and after updating it, Apple Pay started working seamlessly. Additionally, I have experienced address mismatches causing problems with Apple Pay, and fixing the addresses resolved the issue. It’s always a good idea to keep your apps updated and regularly check your payment settings to ensure a smooth Apple Pay experience.
