Apple Wallet is a mobile wallet app that you can use for mobile payments, boarding a flight, storing coupons, and more. Together with Apple Pay, the Apple Wallet app is a secure way to handle all of your payment needs without the need for physical cards or cash.
How to Use Apple Pay | Apple Support
Apple Wallet lets you store a variety of digital payment options and other paperless items, including credit cards, debit cards, rewards cards, coupons and offers, boarding passes, movie tickets, gift cards, student ID cards (for select campuses), and more.
Cards other than credit or debit cards are called passes. Passes contain information such as your gift card balance, expiration dates, seat numbers for concerts and flights, how many rewards you have for a retailer, and more.
To use Apple Wallet, add the important passes you like to use from your device. There are several ways to add passes. Add passes from Wallet by tapping Edit Pass and then scanning a loyalty, rewards, coupon, or gift card. Or select Find Apps for Wallet and see a list of gift cards, coupons, and rewards from retailers that use Wallet.
