• So you can use your card to make purchases in the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store.
• For security (so no one gets access to your card number). If you don’t know your card number for a specific purchase, then the Apple Pay website will not let you make that purchase.
• For security (so no one gets access to your credit card number). If you don’t know your credit card number for a specific purchase, then the Apple Pay website will not let you make that purchase.
