my iPhone is focusing on id payment method instead of apple pay

So let’s say you want to buy something like in game currency or anything in the App Store, when u press buy, it goes to the id payment method but you want to use Apple Pay. You can’t add the cards you use, to the id payment method because it isn’t compatible. What do I do?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

To purchase apps, subscriptions, iTunes Store etc. Apple uses the payment method(s) associated with your Apple Account (formerly known as Apple ID).


Cards are generally compatible with the Apple Stores for the country your Apple Account and residence are associated with. Trying to use a card issued in one country with a different physical address, Apple Stores, region settings may result in your bank failing to verify the payment method, device or account owner.
