About Samsung Pay
Samsung Pay is mobile payment and digital wallet service for Samsung devices that allows users to make payments at retail stores. Samsung Pay uses either MST (Magnetic Secure Transmission) or NFC (Near Field Communication) to communicate with the card reader.
Card readers which lack NFC functionality, it uses MST technology which emulates the magnetic signal from a traditional card swipe, causing the terminal to register it as if it were a normal magnetic stripe. Samsung Pay leverages algorithm-generated token numbers for each card transaction, which enables only dummy account numbers saved on the device which protects the card and payment information against mobile hackers.
Users can select the card by swiping left or right and authenticate the payment via registered fingerprint or PIN.
Samsung Pay allows users to add up to seven different American Express, Visa or MasterCard card accounts (both debit and credit cards), as well as gift cards.

careful with set up and will be a great product.
Great once set up, but do take time to ensure set up goes smoothly as if it doesn't, the backlash can be timely and frustrating to rectify.
Pros
Once set up, really easy to use. Feels safe a secure with prompt notifications of spending.
Cons
Was quite difficult to set up. Unfortunately within set up, my main card got blocked and was unable to be added to the system. This resulted in quite a lengthy set up which was frustrating.

Have your card on your phone
I started using Samsung Pay around 2018-2019. For me it was an innovative experience because it allowed me to go from the comfort of my home to the supermarket or the store and I only needed my phone.
Pros
It is a tool that allows you to make your payments quickly and safely from your phone. Most of my clients used.
Cons
I have no complaints at the moment. It is totally easy to use

A good digital wallet
I have had a good experience with Samsung Pay, it has allowed me to save time and be more productive because I can have my accounts in one place, without having to carry many cards with me. It is an excellent product, it is the future.
Pros
The best thing about Samsung Pay is the trust and security that the brand gives you when making transactions, it is a very transparent and non-invasive process that gives warmth to the user. The interface is good, simple, beautiful, and easy to use. The NFC payment process works well and quickly. If you have a Samsung mobile it is the best option you can have, but if you have an Android mobile it is a great option to value.
Cons
A greater reach is needed from the brand because there are countries that cannot access Samsung Pay services, and in the same way, there are commercial premises that do not allow paying with this app.

Samsung pay user for 2 years
I have tons of benefits by using samsung pay. I personally think it is much safer than google pay, but samsung phone itself is very valuable when it comes to security, so I should be always aware of it.
Pros
I travelled to South korea often. As Samsung pay user, it is very accessible every store and restaurants as apple pay is very limited even though they just introduce the system in south korea. I really like about paying for tube fare with my phone, and I don't need to worry about losing my wallet.
Cons
One of the critical cons about samsung pay is if you lose your phone, it becomes very complicated problem. And also, If your phone is on low battery, samsung pay is not working. I also had some trouble using samsung pay while travelling other countries where they don't have NFC payment system.

I like Samsung pay because it is easy, practical and fast
My experience in general is good. I use the app daily, from the bakery to the gas station. It could improve the points program, then yes, it would be perfect.
Pros
After I started using Samsung pay I don't even know what it's like to use a physical wallet
Cons
The scores are not that interesting, the options to exchange leave something to be desired, the coupons are interesting, they are always unavailable or I cannot exchange them, not to mention that the points expire quickly.

Samsung Pay, or Goolgle Pay? You choose.
It was not a bad experience in the early days of the app, but honestly it doesn't seem as widely used as I thought it was supposed to be. If it and I don't know it then they should find a better way to inform Samsung mobile phone users. Perhaps a series of rolling notifications to let me know it's accepted at every terminal Google pay is. I just don't know much about the app anymore. It would help if I were reminded.
Pros
I liked how it was integrated with my Samsung mobile Phone. It made in app purchasing quick, and the app is intuitive if you have a Samsung Phone.
Cons
I am a purist so I almost always have my wallet and debit card on me. When the app first came out I was keen to use it, but over time Google Pay just proliferated. This may not still be the case but when the Samsung Pay app first came out it was not accepted at many POS terminals near me. So I stopped using it. Then recently I had a few experiences where I happened to leave my wallet at home. I had a new Samsung Phone but had not enabled the app. I also did not remember my debit card to enter it in. But somehow Google pay was working. It was because I had used it on my desktop to purchase something online and it saved my information. I was saved! Ever since then I have used Google pay. Google did a better job of integrating it. Perhaps it was just my luck, but I have also never had a terminal not accept Google pay.

Great product
Pros
This software is easy to use, it actually works more places then apple pay does as well. It functions the same as most tap to pay services and is utilized at many stores.
Cons
There really are no cons to this product, any errors that pop up are usually issues with the store or the phone not the product itself.

Love everything Samsung! As big as the brand is you'd the Samsung Pay would be more popular
Ill have to give Samsung Pay a hard 6
Pros
I love the ability to use Samsung Pay because I am a die hard Samsung fan but.... Samsung Pay is just not accepted as widely as the other NFC pay apps. Sometimes I've went into establishments that don't state they accept Samsung Pay and it works but its rare, it's just not everywhere.
Cons
Samsung Pay isn't as popular with most establishments as the the other NFC payments apps are. I'm all for Samsung, but it's just not available. Maybe I'll give it another try in the future.
