I've been using Android pay for a week but have found that where I live there are a lot of terminals that don't accept tap to pay via nfc.
I notice that samsung pay can emulate the magnetic strip used on older terminals so thought may be worth giving it a go.
I tried to download the app from the play store but it says my device isn't supported! I could have sworn the s7 was supposed to be supported so am at a loss as to why I'm barred from using it.
Is anyone else here having the same problem?
i have a us sprint version and samsung pay works for me. i just have to wait for the bank to open tomorrow and have my card verified. my app runs and allowed me to add the card just have to get it verified before i can use it. i used it on my note 5 and yes any terminal that u can swipe a card with u should be able to use samsung pay with. if u root your phone u break samsung pay fyi

I think OP is from the UK not US, that why OP is having trouble with it
i wish they would have got it going on the gear s2. that's one of the reasons i got one when i had my note 5 but they didn't have it for the us version of the watch
Using Samsung Pay, with T-Mobile in US, works everywhere. I also have the iPhone 6S, stopped using it months ago, Apple Pay has problems everywhere, Samsung Pay works anywhere and everywhere.

What version of s7 do you have? I have a G930FD, I flashed it with firmware from UAE, csc code XSG, and installed the latest Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Frame. And it works very well in U.S. You can find the thread for this.
Thanks. I thought samsung pay would have been usable upon launch in the UK and missed that it hadn't been released here yet.
I don't fancy flashing another country's firmware for now so will just be patient and wait for its release here.
If it wasn't for the magnetic strip emulation I wouldn't bother but even some of the big chain stores don't have contactless here so could really use it.
FWIW I have a G930F

Anybody with a rooted phone try out Samsung Pay via the Gear S3? I have the S7 edge and haven't rooted it because I like using Samsung Pay, but if the watch can do it by itself then maybe I can root my phone and enjoy Samsung Pay all in one. Wondering if anyone wants to give it a shot if it hasn't been tested, I would but I'm waiting for Verizon to start selling it, not sure when that will be...
Thanks for the replies and/or help.
**Edit**
Recently Samsung pay for the gear now detects root. Here's the latest as of 11 April 2017:

after looking at what version of Samsung pay had on the watch which was 1.3.1703, I was able to find an apk from sammobile for version 1.2.5202. After downloading that version and I had to manually uninstall Samsung Pay through your phone settings and application manager or installing the older apk on top of the newer one would fail, I was able to access Samsung pay with no problems on my phone and was able to add back my card like i was able to do before. after adding my card I was able to blanch Samsung pay on my Watch but due to my watch Samsung pay version being higher than my phone version due to when Samsung pay updated before, it wouldn't let me use Samsung pay until my phone version was back to version 1.3.1703. but I was able to access Samsung pay on my watch with my cards showing up now. I haven't tried to see if it works but I assume that since the card is on the watch now It should work now. ill attach the older apk for anyone else to try.

I am rooted, getting an S3, was exactly about to post this question. I don't know if I can install Samsung pay on the S3 with rooted phone....
Guess I'll find out.

you cant install it on the gear3 cause it have to be setup on the phone first so maybe unless you unroot and set it up and then re-root it might stick and work idk

I wanted to know this exactly too. If the Gear s3 samsung pay works with rooted samsung phone this will be an instabuy for me. I'm quite hopeful since Samsung pay for gear s3 is supposed to work with non samsung phones which don't have knox to begin with.
Do let us know the answer when you find out for yourself! Would be very grateful.
I haven't received my Gear S3 yet, but I have a Gear S2 with Samsung Pay setup up in the Gear Manager (it's a separate app from the phone Samsung Pay app). It works perfectly on my rooted Note 4 (which doesn't run Samsung Pay itself), so I suppose it will work the same way after I get the S3.
I think it depends if your root method triggers KNOX. Samsung Pay looks to see if KNOX has been tripped and if it has, you can't add cards. Since you need to setup cards on your phone before you can use them on the watch, you won't be able to use Samsung Pay on the watch either.

Yes that's true for Samsung pay on samsung phones. Apparently however the gear s3 samsung pay uses a separate app on the phone.

That's a good sign. Do update us when you've had a chance to try on the s3!
I have a rooted Galaxy S5, I haven't been able to add a card through Gear Manager. Does it not work since I have a non-compatible samsung pay app phone or is it because its rooted? I heard that samsung pay won't work for android 4.4 and above till they release an update for samsung pay so I'm hoping that is why I can't add a card.
It seems to work with rooted phones. I have a rooted lg v20 and was able to install and set up samsung pay on the watch. I set it up with a card but havent tried it out on a terminal since its really late. But seems like it works perfectly.

You who have the watch, can you tell me if the Portuguese language is available?
I just updated the plugin app and was able to install Samsung Pay on my rooted Nexus 6. I have the T-mobile LTE Gear S3. I was also able to add three cards. Now I just need to make sure I can actually buy something.

That's great news! Would be perfect if anyone with a rooted Samsung phone (ideally one which would be able to run the phone SPay if it hadn't been rooted) could confirm this though. It's entirely possible though unlikely that the Gear SPay works differently on non-Samsung phones.

Samsung pay for the watch or phone? Also do you live somewhere where Samsung pay may not be available? Only reason I ask is because the way to root for the US versions doesn't trip Knox.
I have the international version with custom recovery Etc, knox is definitely tripped and I'm in the US. It won't install on the phone or the watch when paired to the phone.

You have the F firmware, the US international is the U firmware. Maybe you'd have to change your CSC to an area where Samsung pay works.

Thank you! Is it necessary to have any connection between Samsung pay on smartphone and Samsung pay on SG3? I have S7 edge SM-935F and Samsung Pay doesn't work in Canada although I flashed it with German DBT Firmware. I don't know why because some people wrote that it should work, but it is another problem. Could you clarify please, will Samsung pay on SG3 work without any connection with Samsung pay in smartphone?

I am told that SP works with rooted phones so the answer to your question would be yes, SP on the watch should work without SP on your phone. The issue you need to address is, does the Gear S3 that you own have the SP app already installed? Not all Gear S3's come with the app installed. At this time, only US, Australia and Singapore watches come with it pre-installed. My Canadian watch does NOT have this installed. There is no way that I am aware of that you can*sideload it either. At least I haven't figured it out.

You can pay with a watch without samrtphone, but add a card in watch will not work without a smartphone.
Sorry for my bad english.
Can your extract the samsung pay from your watch so the rest of us can sideload it?
Newbie here, but I'm looking to buy a refurbished GS3 Frontier that's been factory reset. The watch is in US, and I'm in Canada (yes, I'm polite too ). Will the watch work in Canada? I'm running on 4G/LTE from Public Mobile on my S7 Edge.

Hi all.
I'm thinking about buying a Gear S3 Frontier. I'm currently using a rooted S7 Edge that does not pass the Safetynet stuff, and SPay won't run on the phone either - I get advised that the phone is locked out of SPay.
My question is: Will I still be able to use SPay on the Gear via the Samsung Gear app, or will I be locked out of using SPay on the watch as well?
Thanks.
I am using it and it's working fine on my rooted S8 plus. You have to run magisk to root and hide the Samsung pay apps plus remove sign of busybox from xbin folder.
Hey, sorry about the delayed reply, I don't recall getting a notification of a response to my post.
So you're using Samsung Pay on your Gear S3 without a problem, with the Samsung Pay native app on the phone not working?

I can't use SPay on the phone, it says the app is locked due to "unauthorised modification" etc...
Yes Samsung pay is working great on my S3 but not on my phone because it's rooted (S8 plus).

Nice. So you add cards via the Gear app I assume? Is there any functionality that isn't there?
Sorry for the questions, I don't own a Gear S3 yet (currently using a Pebble Time Steel) and don't really have a reason to change at this stage unless SPay works well on the S3.
Thanks!
As far as I can see I get full functionality, I can add cards from the gear app I guess it's totally separate from the Spay for the phone. It's really good paying with the watch very convenient.

Awesome. Thanks for your help!
Heheh so here's the issue now... the Gear S3 I bought is an HK version. Pay doesn't appear to be enabled on the watch. I installed a sideloaded version of the SPay plugin for Gear but when I run it, it says I need an HK SIM card in my phone to install Pay.
I think I can get one of these (an HL travel SIM should work) but I don't know if it will only work with that SIM installed, or if I can just "activate" SPay and then add my cards in afterwards.
Another complication might be that even if I can do this, the fact that my credit card is Australian and not HK might cause a problem as well *sigh*
Thoughts?
Recently I get all sorts of notifications saying Samsung wants to install Samsung Pay on my S7.
I have Android Pay and it is better.
Android Pay
More Banks in Canada and Android Watch Support.
Samsung Pay
Few banks in Canada and no Android Watch Support.
MST is not used in Canada, I am not sure but I believe Samsung Pay also does handle near field technology like Android Pay ? Am I correct ? ... So this should nor really be an issue.
I think I found a way to stop the notifications but I can not root and get rid of Samsung Bloat all together because the phone is company owned and also Android Pay will not work with rooted devices.
What gives Samsung the right to force Bloat like Samsung Pay if you will never use it ?
I think I know the answers to my questions ? Am I correct ?
Samsung Pay has everything, Android Pay has but in addition has MST. If I can find banks that support Samsung Pay and live without tapping with my Smart Watch ..... Samsung Pay maybe better.
Samsung is able to force bloat on you because they sell millions more phones than anybody else and people keep on buying.
