iPads that are upgraded to iOS 8 now have the ability to scan and save credit card information. This is great when it comes to shopping on your iPhone or iPad. You can be browsing the Internet and if you were to come across something, you can quickly purchase as opposed to whipping out your credit card and tapping in the numbers while someone behind you is writing down your information at the same time. It is safe and secure to use this feature and it is only available using the Safari browser.
Let’s walk through how to scan a credit card using iOS 8.
- Power on your iPhone or iPad.
