Your Glide card works with Apple Pay and Google Pay from the moment it’s issued. The virtual card is in your wallet seconds after you tap Add to Apple Pay or Add to Google Pay.

​
Add to Apple Pay

1

From the Glide app

Tap Cards → pick your card → Add to Apple Pay.
2

Approve in the Wallet sheet

iOS shows the standard Apple Wallet sheet with your card preview. Tap Add.
3

Verify with your bank

iOS may ask you to confirm via a one-time code or biometric prompt back in the Glide app. This is Apple’s standard flow; the verification finishes in seconds.
Your card is now in Apple Wallet. Hold it near a contactless terminal, double-click your side button, and pay.

​
Add to Google Pay

1

From the Glide app

Tap Cards → pick your card → Add to Google Pay.
2

Approve in the Google Wallet sheet

Android shows the standard Google Wallet sheet. Tap Continue.
3

Confirm with your bank

Google Wallet may verify via a one-time code or biometric. The flow takes seconds.
Your card is now in Google Wallet.

​
Online payments

Apple Pay and Google Pay work for in-app and online checkouts on supported sites and apps. The same card credentials are used — merchants never see your real PAN, just a token that’s tied to your device.

​
Watch out for

  • Region locking — Apple and Google may region-lock the wallet to your phone’s primary region. If you’re a digital nomad with a phone registered in one country and a Glide account in another, contact us if Apple Pay refuses to provision; we’ll diagnose with you.
  • Family sharing — Apple Cash and Google Pay’s family-sharing features don’t share Glide cards. Issue a separate card for each family member instead.
  • Watch and wearables — once your card is in Apple Pay or Google Pay on your phone, you can extend it to Apple Watch and Wear OS devices through the standard wallet flow.

​
Tokenization

Every Apple Pay and Google Pay transaction uses a device-specific token instead of your real card number. If your phone is stolen, you remove the device token from your iCloud or Google account; the underlying Glide card stays unaffected.
