How to Manage AutoFill Credit Cards in Safari Settings

This article provides a complete guide on how to manage, add, and remove saved credit cards using the AutoFill feature in the Safari web browser. Whether you are using a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, configuring these settings allows you to streamline online checkouts while keeping your financial information secure behind biometric authentication or your device passcode.

Managing Credit Cards on a Mac

To manage your saved payment methods in Safari on macOS, you must access the browser's internal settings menu.

Accessing the AutoFill Menu

  1. Open the Safari browser on your Mac.
  2. Click Safari in the top menu bar and select Settings (or Preferences on older macOS versions).
  3. Click the AutoFill tab at the top of the window.
  4. Ensure the checkbox next to Credit cards is selected, then click the Edit button next to it.
  5. Authenticate using Touch ID or enter your Mac’s administrator password to view your saved cards.

Adding a Credit Card on Mac

  1. Inside the Credit Cards edit window, click the Add (+) button at the bottom left of the list.
  2. Enter the card's description (Name), Card Number, Expiration Date, and Cardholder Name.
  3. Press the Return key or click outside the fields to save the card. (Note: For security reasons, Safari does not store your card's CVV security code).

Editing or Removing a Credit Card on Mac

Managing Credit Cards on iPhone and iPad

On iOS and iPadOS devices, Safari settings are managed through the main system Settings app rather than inside the browser itself.

Accessing the AutoFill Menu

  3. Under the General section, tap AutoFill.
  4. Ensure the Credit Cards toggle is turned on (green), then tap Saved Credit Cards.

Adding a Credit Card on iPhone and iPad

  1. In the Saved Credit Cards menu, tap Add Credit Card.
  2. Manually type in the Cardholder Name, Number, Expiration Date, and Description. Alternatively, tap Use Camera to automatically scan and populate the card details without typing.
