It has been nearly two years since Apple Inc. introduced its mobile payment service, Apple Pay, in the U.S. Since its debut, Apple Pay is available across nine additional countries, including the U.K., China, Australia, Canada, France, Hong Kong, Singapore, Switzerland and most recently Russia.

With the launch of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra, Apple has now introduced the ability to pay for online purchases in Safari with Apple Pay.   

Here’s a look at how you can buy stuff online with Apple Pay.
