When Using Garmin Pay the Payment Terminal Asks for My Card
If a payment terminal displays a message to insert a card into the chip reader or manually swipe a card, Garmin Pay™ mobile payment solution will not work and you will need to physically use your card to complete the transaction. Nothing should be considered wrong with your watch; the merchant has chosen to require the use of a physical credit or debit card instead of offering contactless payments.
