You don't need to "open" it.

You set the phone next to the terminal and the card comes up when radio contact is made.

So you have to sit there and type your credit card into your phone at the checkout? You can't enter it in advance?

No, gotta put your credit card info into the wallet app before use as it needs to verify it's your account. Also, Apple Pay doesn't accept all cards. My main card isn't accepted, which is sad.

Huh... I'll try that next time. I had no idea it would do that. Again, this is a discoverability problem.

Way before I ever tried, I had seen videos of RFID "contact less" demos where you tap the device to the machine. Like at a gas pump. The icon usually gives you a clue to tap as well, but I suppose you have to imagine it is even a theoretical possibility.

I don't think there is way to make it discoverable without a big sign saying tap here ↓. Not from the phone anyway. Just something children will see and in the future never think twice about.
