What is Fitbit Pay?

Fitbit Pay is the mobile payment solution for Fitbit’s fitness trackers. Just like there’s Google Pay on phones and Wear OS watches, Fitbit Pay uses near field communication, NFC, to work with enabled payment terminals. Mobile payments are great for more than just the ease of leaving your wallet in your pocket or purse, but it’s also secure. This is because each purchase gets a one-time token to send through the payment processing rather than your actual card number.

Getting started with using Fitbit Pay is a relatively simple process. All you need to do is add your credit or debit card from one of the participating banks, then set up a security PIN on your device. Now you’re ready to pay for that post-workout water or snack using your favorite Fitbit fitness tracker.
