Authentication problems
If you're having issues setting up Apple, it could be due to authentication settings. Please check and adjust these in your phone's settings.
PIN required
Normally, you don't need to enter a PIN code because your identity is verified through biometrics like Face ID and fingerprint. However, in some rare cases, a terminal might ask for one.
If this happens, don't worry! According to Apple's Support Center, you can simply enter any four digits, like 0000, to proceed with your purchase.
NFC settings
Make sure the NFC toggle of your phone is enabled so your phone can communicate with the payment terminal successfully.
