Can't double tap power button to pay for items

Recently broke my power button and now whenever I try to pay using my phone I obviously cannot double tap the power button to confirm payment because it doesn't work. Is there a work around for this, I've been searching for literally 3 hours now. Please I need your help

iPhone 13, iOS 18

A work around can be enabled before the Side Button (AKA Power Button) becomes broken. The work around switches from Side Button initiating Apple Pay to using Face ID. However, in order to switch, you must double click to confirm the switch. With a broken side button, you can’t confirm the switch. Sorry.
