I never knew that! I don't use Apple Pay often, and when I od, it's generally with my Apple Watch. When I've used the phone, though, I always thought I had to double press the home button first. Thanks for the correction, and sorry for my bad information!

Arnold,

You do not need to press any buttons, first.

The method you described is the correct one if you only have one credit card on file or if you wish to pay with the default card.

When the phone is in proximity of the terminal, it will automatically wake-up  and the process will begin, just as you described.

So, to be clear, on a non-iPhone 10 device,

1.
With the phone either unlocked or locked, place your registered finger on the Touch-ID Homebutton of the phone.

2.
Now, simply move the phone close to the terminal containing the NFC reader.

3.
Hold the phone near the reader until you receive hap tic feedback indicating that the transaction has concluded successfully.

Depending upon the model and iOS version of your Apple device and the model and software version of the NFC terminal, this process can take as little as two seconds up to as much as 30 seconds to complete.

Personally, I always make certain that my phone is locked, before beginning any transactions.

Mark

I never knew I had to double press the home button first. I just hold my phone near the reader with my finger on the home button, and it goes through, except for one time, I don't know what was wrong then. I will try double pressing the home button first next time, to see if it works even better.

In general, the process is simply:

* from the lock screen or notifications center, press the home button twice * your default card will be selected, but you can choose a different card if you have one
* hold the phone near the reader
* touch the home button to authenticate, or do what I do and just leave your finger there while holding the phone to the reader
* after a moment, the phone vibrates and chimes, and you're done

Really, stepping through it like that makes it sound longer and harder than it is. Double press the home button, hold the phone to the reader, and rest a finger on the home button for Touch ID. The only way it gets easier is if you're using an Apple Watch. I hope this explains things some, and your next attempt goes more smoothly.

Mark,
 I did not get that far. What I ran into was, simply put, not knowing yet how to make the transaction. And I did not have the luxury of keeping the checker waiting.

 I expected to use Touch ID but was prompted for the passcode.

Hello E.T.,
Your question is too broad in order to elicit a meaningful anser.
However, I can tell you that today, both a friend and I were unsuccessful in getting Apple Pay to work at three different terminals at three different businesses, on each of our phones.  I have an 8 Plus and she has a 7 Plus. We surmised that the system was down or working very slowly.  This was the first time, since Apple Pay was introduced, that I was not able to complete a transaction, successfully. I called another friend of mine, who lives a couple of states away, and he, too, was unsuccessful in completing a terminal-based Apple Pay transaction. So, I suggest that you wait a few days and give it another try, say, sometime after Monday. Just so you know, a few minutes ago, I did successfully reload my Starbucks card, via Apple Pay.  Keep in mind that doing so did not require a physical terminal, as did my previous attempts, earlier today.
Mark
