I need to make a highly time-sensitive web purchase on a site that allows Apple Pay.
I use a iPhone X with Face ID disabled...use 6 digit passcode for to authenticate and unlock.

So just wanna be sure there are no fumbles when the time comes.

Ive set up AP without a glitch on both my IPX and MBP w Touch Bar. 'Allow payments on Mac' is activated.
Received notification from my bank saying that card has been activated for use on both IPX and MBP.
Have registered a billing address in Asia, shipping address in USA.

My questions:

1. Which is faster for Apple Pay...phone or laptop? The first time I used my laptop for AP
it said something like 'area code does not match' and stalled. Second time it said Apple Pay
is not set up...your computers security settings have changed. I hadn't changed a thing.
Had to boot up in R mode and change firmware settings to least secure.

2. If I use IPX for Apple Pay, will it authenticate with my 6 digit passcode or will it insist
on Face ID?

Thanks
