Apple Pay is supported on Acquired3DS, Adyen, Authorize.netV2, Bambora, cardstream, Celerispay, CheckoutV2, Easy Pay Direct, Gala Technology, Merchant Warrior, MerchantConnect, MerchantConnectV2, NMI, NomuPay, PaysafeV2, Priority, SquareV2, SquareV2, StripeV2, Surgeify, Swipen, TotalApps, Truevo, Vantiv, VantivV2, Verifi, Whitelabel Payments, WorldlineV2, Worldpay.

This Apple Pay setup method should only be used if you are using your own Apple Pay Developer Account with the Apple Pay plugin.

Apple Pay setup requires successful configuration of your Apple Pay Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles in your Apple Developer account. You can find more information on how to properly configure your Apple Pay account on the Apple side in the Apple Developer docs: Configure Apple Pay

Payments cannot be processed without a valid Payment Processing Certificate from your Gateway. You will upload your Gateway’s Payment Processing Certificate (a “csr” file with a .certSigningRequest file extension) to your Apple Developer account.

Please Note: Your Gateway’s Payment Processing Certificate EXPIRES every 25 months. You will need to generate and upload a NEW certificate to your Apple Developer account prior to the expiration date.

The button ONLY displays if customer's Apple Pay wallet is configured AND device supports Apple Pay (mac or iphone with touch ID).

Step 9: Upload Apple’s Domain Verification File and verify your domain on your Apple account

2. On the Edit or Configure Merchant ID page, go to Merchant Domains section and click Add Domain.

When using Apple Pay in multiple funnels published to the same domain, you will need to upload the file to a single funnel and publish that funnel as the default funnel.

If integrating with Stripe and verification returns a 404 error from Stripe, you may need to submit a Checkout Champ support ticket to have our development team manually remove the “.txt” file extension from the uploaded file.

Step 12: On the arrow leaving the checkout page, choose the Apple Pay button for navigation.

Step 13: Upsell pages

There are 3 options for upsell pages. Communicate with your gateway about the appropriate workflow.

Option 1:

Your gateway supports a 1-click upsell on Apple Pay using a payment token returned from the gateway at checkout

Place one or more standard buttons on each upsell page. Follow standard instructions for those buttons to submit the upsell. Add class cc-one-click-btn to each button. There is no need to have an Apple Pay button on each page. The buttons will submit using the original payment token.

Option 2:

Your gateway does not support Option 1. You prefer to have a generic button on upsell pages instead of an Apple button.

Place one or more standard buttons on each upsell page. Follow standard instructions for those buttons to submit the upsell. The buttons will automatically support Apple Pay or non-Apple Pay based on the checkout. Apple Pay will redirect the consumer to Apple to complete the upsell. No additional work is needed.

Option 3:

Your gateway does not support Option 1. You prefer to have an Apple button on upsell pages.

Place one or more standard buttons AND one or more Apple Pay buttons on each upsell page. Choose all the buttons on the arrow(s) leaving the page. When the live page loads the standard buttons are removed if the checkout was with Apple Pay. Pressing the Apple Pay buttons will redirect the consumer to Apple to complete the upsell. When the live page loads the Apple Pay buttons are removed if the checkout was not Apple Pay. The standard buttons will submit the upsell.

Step 14: Publish the funnel. You’re done and ready to test!
