Table of Contents

Amazon's Black Friday 2025 sale is just around the corner. It officially kicks off on Nov. 20, a full week ahead of Thanksgiving, and runs through Cyber Monday on Dec. 1. But like most Amazon shopping events, deals started pouring in in early November on Apple products, Lego, outdoor gear, and lots of tech.

Avid shoppers keeping their eyes on exclusive deals can enjoy a breezy shopping experience throughout Black Friday and Cyber Monday, thanks to Amazon's flexible payment options. Customers are no longer limited to debit and credit cards or Amazon gift cards. If you're an Apple loyalist, you can also use Apple Pay to make purchases on Amazon this holiday season.

Apple Pay is compatible with most — but not all — vendors on Amazon, making it even easier to secure deals in just a few taps. You can use it in place of a traditional card payment whenever possible by following the steps below.

How to use Apple Pay on Amazon

Step 1: Set up Apple Pay on iPhone. If you haven't already, add your debit or credit card to your iPhone's digital wallet to set up Apple Pay on your mobile device.

Step 2: Open the Amazon app.

Step 3: Add items to your cart and go to checkout. If your vendor accepts Apple Pay, you'll see it under payment options (you can use the method only if you have linked a card to your iPhone's Wallet app); select Apple Pay.

Step 4: Confirm your address and payment details.

Step 5: Once Apple Pay's payment authenticator pops up on your screen, use your Face ID or Touch ID to authenticate the purchase.

Step 6: Confirm payment to finish the process.
