What Is Samsung Pay And How To Use It

It allows you to pay for goods and services by just using your Samsung device. You just need to wave your Samsung pay enabled Samsung devices near a cash register instead of swiping a credit card or inserting your payment information, a bit like Apple Pay or Google Pay.
