Integration of Apple Pay into the Wallet app is done through the Shortcuts app, which is available from iOS 17 onwards.
At the moment, this Apple Pay integration works only with purchases made using an iPhone. However, it only functions with in-store (physical) payments — online purchases do not trigger the automation. Unfortunately, transactions completed via Apple Watch or Mac do not trigger the automation. This is due to a limitation in Apple’s operating system, which we hope will be addressed in a future update.
How to set it up
1. Make sure you have the Shortcuts app installed on your iOS device. If you don’t have it, please download it from the App Store. It’s an official Apple app, so there’s no need to worry.
2. Your Apple Pay payments will be stored in an account in Wallet. The account must be Manual. Please create a new manual account where you want the transactions to appear. Tap Add New Account and select Manual Input.
Choose the Account Name and select the same Currency as your bank card account.
3. Open Shortcuts App and create a new automation by going to the “Automations” tab. Tap the + button to add a new automation and select Transaction.
4. On the next screen, you can select the cards and categories that this automation will apply to. We recommend that you select one card and keep all categories selected.. At the bottom of the screen, choose Run Immediately to avoid having to confirm it manually, then tap Next to continue.
5. On next screen choose New Blank Automation.
6. Inside this new automation find WalletApp and tap on Add expense (not the (i) button).
7. You need to configure mapping of your Apple Pay payment to Wallet.
Amount (mandatory): tap Amount on the right side and select Shortcut Input (scroll horizontally through the available options to find it.).
The next step is critical! Tap on Shortcut Input under Amount again and select Amount from the available options instead of the preselected Transaction. Confirm this step by tapping the (X) in the corner.
Account (mandatory): Tap Account on the right side and select the account you created in Step 2.
Note (optional): Tap Note on the right side and select Shortcut Input. The default option Transaction is already selected, so you don’t need to change anything.
Show When Run: We recommend disabling this option, otherwise a pop-up will appear after every transaction.
If everything is set up, tap Done to continue. This completes the Apple Pay integration into Wallet. If you now make a purchase using your iPhone, the transaction will appear in Wallet.
Apple Pay integration is a Premium feature. We are aware that setting up the integration may not be easy, which is why you can try it out for free. Your transactions will appear on the Dashboard, and if you are satisfied with the functionality, you can unlock full access by purchasing Premium. After that, your transactions will also appear in Records, statistics, and other sections.
If your integration doesn’t work, you’ll need to completely delete the automation in Shortcuts and start over. If it still doesn’t work after another attempt, please contact us and we’ll do our best to help you.
