I have downloaded Apple Wallet, and was able to add my debit card to this app. However, I'm confused about how to use it in stores or restaurants. I'm in Japan now, and I'm not even sure you can use it to pay for things, but I can try. Has anyone ever used this to pay for things abroad? Please tell me how it works. Thanks.
It’s really quite simple , it allows you to store your card virtually instead of having it physically. Downside is that there low ceilings on amounts allowed. You add the cards you want to the wallet. From a locked position , tap power button twice , select the card you want to use , security is usually passcode or face from setup as a form of 2FA once fulfilled you tap your phone on the card reader if it’s supported. That’s it
Why debit card though? I only use credit for purchases ( security , cash back , no currency fee etc )

You open up the app and it should say tap to pay
You hit the power bottom twice and it’ll prompt you. If you have a passcode, it say
You enter your password then just tap on the machine like you would a card
I always use apple pay. Double click on the right side of my phone and that's it. Pretty convenient and simple.

You want a credit card linked not a debit. Debit has liquid cash that is easier to steal and banks are less likely to get the money back.
You tap your phone where it says tap. I think you have to have your phone unlocked.
seems too risky i would never use that nor google pay. maybe PayPal.

Be careful of the apple Credit card car they’re taking over. I hope they’re not part of the 666 down the road. I’ve heard some strange things
Lol I find that stuff enough of a minefield lol 😆
No, there's no benefit for using it. I use my credit card to get miles.
Having an iPhone is the only prereq
You don't. It is pure spyware.
