Harness the features of New Wallet Automations with this Shortcut

With the arrival of iOS 17, Apple has introduced new features for the Shortcuts app. Perhaps the most intriguing one is Transactions, which has the potential to be very useful in so many situations.. When you use Apple Pay to make a purchase, the transaction details can be sent to a spreadsheet of your own.

It is specifically Apple Pay rather than, say, Apple Card, so anything you buy online, or any time you use your iPhone or your Apple Watch in a store, that data can be saved.

Users have harnessed this innovation to create incredible shortcuts that make everyday life more convenient. In particular, Routinehub user @_heyjhoow has developed a shortcut that maximizes the use of Automation Transactions to create approximate monthly credit card statements.
