Apple Pay not working on my Mac

I have a MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.5. After filling out all the information in Settings for Wallet & Apple Pay, I am still unable to use Apple Pay at websites in Safari. When I try, a window pops up, and the Touch ID circle briefly appears then disappears. The only active button on that window is Cancel. I also have an iPhone and Apple Pay works fine there. What am I doing wrong?

The problem isn't the ability to add cards to Apple wallet but the ability to use it in Safari.


As others have said that whenever they go to use Apple Pay in Safari it'll show the Apple Pay menu but at the bottom where the touch ID circle is at the bottom it'll say 'processing' then stop without any other prompts or my having pressed on touch ID. After 30 seconds it'll error out saying that it couldn't process the transaction. This is for Apple card and my personal CCs.

Exactly the same problem for me - 2020 iMac 3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9 - iPhone 16P Pro & Apple Watch - All running the latest & greatest operating systems - sometimes it works, more often it doesn't...been like this for years..


I can normally reproduce the problem using the Apple Pay Demo Web Site -- https://applepaydemo.apple.com/


Today it wasn't working, so I booted into safe mode -- tried the demo site and low & behold it worked...


Booted back into unsafe mode & it still works -- for how long no one knows...I'll test it every day for a little while & let you all know if it stops working...
