Everything You Need to Know About Apple Pay (Seriously)

A short-ish note: Now until August 10 is the time to try Apple Pay. When you use it for your next Rue La La in-app purchase, you’ll automatically be entered for a chance to win a $1,500 Rue Credit (or one of eight other prizes)^. Awesome, right? And you still get the $10 Credit we talk about below – no matter if you win. Already made a purchase on Apple Pay? Email us at entries@ruelala.com to get in on this sweeps.

Ready to try Apple Pay and score that $10 Rue Credit? Before you get after it, here are the only two things you need to know.

1. What is Apple Pay?

Good question. Apple Pay is like building a secret protective fortress around your regular debit or credit card. You still pay with that account. But its numbers (and all your important info that goes with it) get encrypted – making it even safer and more secure to shop online.

Bonus? It’s also easier to make purchases. Apple Pay stores your data. So, typing in your card number on a tiny mobile screen? It’s now a thing of the past.

2. How do I set up Apple Pay?

First, make sure you’re working with a device that supports Apple Pay*. Then, sail through the steps below.

1. Go to Wallet > Add Credit or Debit Card.
2. Now head to the Rue app. Find what you want to snap up.
3. Check out! Tap the Apple Pay button on the product page. Or, go to your shopping cart, edit your payment method, select “Apple Pay,” and boom. You’re done.

Easy, right? Your $10 Rue Credit will be added to your account after you make your first Apple Pay purchase. Remember, this special promo is just that: special. So make sure you try Apple Pay between now and September 1**.

Ready? Head to the app and start shopping.
