Dusted the old iPhone 7 Plus (glossy black) and the procedure is double click home button and default card is prepared and displays blue > Hold Near Reader < and animation showing iPhone getting larger.

Make purchases using Apple Pay - Apple Support

If there are issues it could be the case, or NFC module is failing or failed. Apple can confirm with remote diagnostics.

maybe I didn’t explain myself properly, but when I open the Wallet on his phone. NOTHING shows.

I select the card that needs to be used, and then nothing appears, like the card is there yes, but there is nothing that says finger print or hold near to the card reader.

As I recall, when I had an iPhone with TouchID, I just held my finger over the Home button as I put it over the terminal. I didn't see anything (or didn't notice it). In fact, I was a bit confused when I bought a phone with FaceID because it feels like more steps to me. Hold near terminal to bring up Card. Hold in front of face. Hold it over the terminal again.

No, I don’t see that. That’s my whole issue. Nothing shows up.

As I noted, I don't think anything like that shows up with Touch ID. It's something that you need for FaceID as a reminder to put the phone back near the reader after you moved it closer to your face.

It's not clear to me from previous posts if you've been able to use ApplePay with this phone.

iPhone 8 is Touch ID. why would Face ID show?

The "Hold Near Reader" is something that shows up on phones with FaceID. I don't believe it shows up on phones with TouchID. It is possible, though, that I'm misrembering.

also it NEEDS to show the hold near to card reader either way,

Why?

please kindly read my post.

I did. Did you read my question asking if you have been able to successfully use Apple Pay with the phone that has TouchID?

I’ve got an old Touch ID phone, I’m going to try. I’ll let everyone know.

Thanks! I don't always trust my memory on details like that. There have been too many phones over the years.

It's also possible that my habit of just putting the phone on the reader with my finger already on the button meant I never saw it. I do miss that about TouchID. I think the FaceID process is much klunkier.

IIRC, on the iPhone 8 you need to use TouchID in the Wallet to enable Tap to Pay.

So with the Wallet open, use your thumbprint on the sensor to activate the payment system.

So, when you hold the iPhone near the transaction terminal, do you see a prompt to use Touch ID?

You’re welcome!

No, I haven’t used the phone for payments like that but I was able to add the card (2 cards) and it is supposed to work.

You haven't been able to use it? Or you haven't tried to use it?

Thanks! So I must have double-clicked it over the reader and so never saw it.

It will work (if NFC is working). When you’re ready to pay, double click Home Button and then move iPhone over spot on transaction terminal. Hold for several seconds until you see a visual notification that payment was approved /declined and a Taptic vibration.
