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.
