And now thanks to an Apple Wallet update, those options are easier to find and use than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>Before today Apple Pay already included support for using third-party \u2018pay later\u2019 services such as Klarna and Affirm. But the way that\u2019s historically worked has been <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/120477\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pretty hidden and inconvenient<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, you would choose and set up a pay later option during the Apple Pay checkout process. So at the time of purchase, you\u2019d double click your iPhone\u2019s side button to initiate Apple Pay, then choose Other Cards &amp; Pay Later Options, and walk through the setup process for a pay later option.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, things are way easier now.<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/aaronp613\/status\/1963653498022854821?s=61&amp;t=a-bloX1n-TZ50ofqhetO1A\" rel=\"nofollow\">highlighted by Aaron Perris on X<\/a>, Apple has just rolled out a new menu inside the Wallet app.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Pay Later Options\u2019 is available to all Wallet app users, whether you\u2019re running iOS 18 or iOS 26. All you have to do is hit the \u2018+\u2019 button in the top-right corner of the app.<\/p>\n<p>The new menu lists out all available pay later options that are at your disposal. You can then walk through the setup process of your chosen service.<\/p>\n<p>Taking care of all of this pre-authorization before the actual moment of purchase should prove a lot more convenient. Not to mention the boost to discoverability by adding it inside Wallet.<\/p>\n<p>Is it a coincidence that Apple is rolling out this Wallet change <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2025\/08\/26\/how-to-watch-apples-iphone-17-event-live-on-september-9\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">right before the iPhone 17 launches<\/a>? Probably not. But it\u2019s a nice update regardless.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s your experience been like with pay later options for Apple Pay?
