Tap your Apple ID. This is at the top of the page.

Type in your Apple ID password. If you have Touch ID enabled, you can use your fingerprint instead.
- If you've recently accessed your Apple ID menu here, you won't have to type in your password.
5
Select Payment.
6
Select your current payment method. This will be under the "Primary Payment Method" heading.
7
Type in your first and last name. Do this in the "Cardholder" section.
- The information here must match the information on your card exactly.
8
Scroll to the "Card Details" section and enter your card details. These include the following:
- Your card number
- Your card's security code
- Your card's expiration date
9
Verify your billing information. If the information here differs from your previous payment option, you'll need to change it accordingly.
10
Tap Next. This is in the top right corner of your screen. Tapping it completes your card entry and sets your new payment method as the primary one.
