Target now accepts contactless payment, also known as NFC, at our stores. 

Simply hold your contactless card, mobile device or wearable over the card reader screen to initiate payment until the confirmation that the payment was successful displays on the screen, and then follow the prompts on your device or card reader screen. You can do this at any time while you check out, when the card reader is ready for payment, including while the cashier is still scanning items.

Any contactless payment type can be accepted. 

Some examples of contactless payment types are:

• Contactless credit/debit cards printed with this symbol:  
• Mobile phone digital wallets (e.g., Apple Pay®, Google Pay™, Samsung Pay)
• Wearables with payment enabled (e.g., Apple Watch®, Fitbit Pay) 

On your receipt, you may notice that that last 4 digits printed on the receipt are different from your card number. For digital wallets (e.g., Apple Pay) the device will tokenize your real card number to protect the card data, so the last 4 digits may look different.

Target Circle Cards cannot be added to digital wallets like Apple Pay®, Google Pay, Samsung Pay.  
 
You can, however, add Target Circle Card to the Wallet in the Target App that simplifies the checkout process in store by using a single barcode to apply Target Circle, Weekly Ad coupons, Target team member discounts, cash withdrawal (for Target Debit Card only), Target GiftCard payments, and Target Circle Card payments, including Target Debit Card, Target Credit Card and Target Mastercard®.
