Avid shoppers keeping their eyes on exclusive deals can enjoy a breezy shopping experience throughout the Big Spring Sale, 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 spring.
Apple Pay is compatible with many — 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.
