The Future of the PaymentRequest API
I am adding Apple Pay to my eCommerce site and I am having a lot of difficulty with the PaymentsRequest API in Microsoft Edge browser. I have a partial implementation that displays the Apple Pay button and creates a PaymentRequest when the button is clicked. That's all. On Safari, this is enough to display the Apple Pay dialog. The process doesn't proceed further because I haven't implemented a handler for the merchantvalidation event. With Chrome on a Mac, the behavior is the same, I can scan the code and see the Apple Pay dialog. On Microsoft Edge, I never see the code to scan. In my web console, I'm seeing errors like InvalidStateError: Failed to execute 'canMakePayment' on 'PaymentRequest': Cannot query payment request and NotSupportedError: The payment method "https://apple.com/apple-pay" is not supported. No "Link: rel=payment-method-manifest" HTTP header found at "https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/" Is Apple Pay not supported on Windows? I see the demo site here, which gets farther than I have gotten. It does display the scan code, but payment still never completes. I see the same payment-method-manifest error in the console. If Apple Pay is not supported on any PCs other than Macs, is there any reason to use the PaymentRequest API instead of Apple Pay JS? I started digging into the W3C standards and it turns out that merchantvalidation event is deprecated. Chrome on Mac does catch it, so it seems like it's supported there. But I have concerns about the long term future. Is it going to remain supported? If so, I would imagine that the interface could change. It seems like the only benefit of the W3C PaymentRequest API is that Mac users with non-Safari browsers may still be able to use Apple Pay. In theory, that's something I'd still like to support, even if it's only a small number of users, but I only have time for one integration right now, and I need to pick the best one. How much faith should I have in the W3C PaymentRequest API? Is it reasonable to pursue it with the goal of including all Mac users regardless of browser? Or is it likely a dead API and I should stick to Apple Pay JS instead to provide a better experience to Safari users? It also looks like the PaymentRequest API isn't fully finalized yet, so maybe that's the source of my issues. Maybe I should just use Apple Pay JS for now with an eye to supporting PaymentRequest when the spec is finalized. I greatly appreciate your input.

[Apple Pay]how to update multiTokenContexts when PKPaymentRequestShippingContactUpdate method trigger
multiTokenContexts is defined as follows (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/pkpaymentrequest/multitokencontexts) You can assign a value when initializing PKPaymentRequest (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/pkpaymentrequest). However, in actual usage scenarios, when the Apple Pay address changes and PKPaymentRequestShippingContactUpdate (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/pkpaymentrequestshippingcontactupdate) is triggered, how to update multiTokenContexts? The documentation and code do not provide updates for this parameter. In contrast, Apple Pay on the Web provides newMultiTokenContexts as an update when ApplePayShippingContactUpdate (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/applepayshippingcontactupdate) is triggered. Has anyone encountered this problem? Would you happen to have any solutions? Thank you.

Credit card ICC Public Key Certificate retrieval
Hello! I have a requirement to read the ICC Public Key Certificate from an EMV credit card to implement a payment validation flow. Aa far as I understand, I can't use Core NFC for that task since it is not supposed to be used for reading sensitive credit card data and it might be rejected by Apple. I'm trying to use Tap To Pay as it seems to offer some general card details. Since Apple's documentation on this side is pretty limited, I'm struggling to understand what is a PaymentCardReader.Token and how can I create one? Can anyone please help me with setting up Tap to Pay?

Authorizing Apple Pay via non-Safari browser fails to decode merchant session.
When attempting to authorize an Apple Payment on an iOS 18 device using the scannable code in a non-Safari browser (i.e. Chrome), the payment sheet displays briefly, then dismisses. This same exact implementation of Apple Pay on the Web works flawlessly in Safari, so this feels like a bug given that the merchant session works fine in Safari. The following errors were found in my iOS device logs: (PassbookUIService) Codable: Failed to decode Merchant Session Created: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4864 UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=<private>, NSCodingPath=<private>} (PassbookUIService) Session 29592: Fatal Error: Failed to decode merchant session created`

New apple pay in PC chrome dosn't work with iOS 18
I've encountered an issue with Apple Pay in PC Chrome with iOS 18. Below is the scenario and code for reference: Issue Scenario: A button is clicked to initiate the Apple Pay process. A QR code window pops up, which I scan with my phone. As soon as the session is established, the window closes immediately, not allowing the user to select a payment card. No errors appear in the console. Here's the code snippet for handling the Apple Pay button click: const onApplePayButtonClicked = () => { if (!window.ApplePaySession) { return; } log('Apple Pay button clicked'); const request = { countryCode: 'UA', currencyCode: 'UAH', merchantCapabilities: ['supports3DS'], supportedNetworks: ['visa', 'masterCard'], total: { label: 'PoC Merchant Apple Pay', type: 'final', amount: amount.toString(), }, }; const session = new window.ApplePaySession(3, request); session.onvalidatemerchant = async (event) => { try { log('Creating ApplePaySession'); const response = await fetchAppleSessionAPI(event.validationURL, applePayMercantId, { deviceId, refreshToken }); log('validateMerchantResponse', response); session.completeMerchantValidation(response.applePaySessionData); } catch (error) { log('validateMerchantError', error); } }; session.onshippingmethodselected = () => { const newTotal = { label: 'PoC Merchant Apple Pay', type: 'final', amount: amount.toString(), }; session.completeShippingMethodSelection(window.ApplePaySession.STATUS_SUCCESS, {}, newTotal); }; session.onpaymentauthorized = async (event) => { log('onpaymentauthorized', event); const result = { status: window.ApplePaySession.STATUS_SUCCESS, }; session.completePayment(result); log('TOKEN', event.payment.token); }; session.begin(); }; Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Verified that window.ApplePaySession is available. Checked for any console errors—none found. Confirmed that the QR code scanning and session initiation work as expected. Expected Behavior: After scanning the QR code and establishing the session, the user should be able to select a payment card and proceed with the payment flow. Current Behavior: The window closes immediately after the session is established, preventing card selection. Has anyone else faced this issue or has insights on how to resolve it? Thanks in advance!

Can Apple Pay Transactions Be Integrated into a Third-Party Expense Management App?
Hello, I am developing a mobile application focused on helping users centralize and analyze their expenses. The app's key feature is to track transactions made through Apple Pay, providing users with a consolidated view of their spending across all linked bank cards or accounts. I have a few specific questions regarding the feasibility of this integration: Does Apple provide any official APIs or tools to access Apple Pay transaction data for third-party applications? Are there restrictions or guidelines for apps that aim to use Apple Pay to support expense tracking? What would be the best way to initiate a partnership or obtain further support from Apple for such a project? Your insights or direction on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and guidance! Best regards, Amine

In-App Provisioning Error
We have implemented In-App Provisioning, but when I start the tokenization process, I receive an error before the terms and conditions. We are testing with a version of the app on TestFlight. The error message is: Could not add card. Try again later or contact your card issuer for more information. Could you please help me?

The app icon is not appearing under the "From Apps on Your iPhone" section in Apple Wallet.
Hello, We are integrating Apple Wallet functionality using the Thales SDK. While we’ve successfully implemented In-App provisioning, we are encountering an issue with the Wallet Extension. I followed the documentation provided here to implement the Apple Wallet Extension: https://developer.dbp.thalescloud.io/docs/d1-developer-portal/ab10ea4059dx1-apple-wallet-extension I’ve implemented everything as per the guide, but I’m still unable to see my app logo in the Wallet Extension under "From Apps on Your iPhone." Could anyone help identify what might be missing or point me in the right direction to resolve this issue. Thanks!

Apple Pay Display Name
My company rebranded and we need to update our merchant name that displays when a user makes a purchase with their Apple Wallet. The merchant name displays correctly on bank statements, but still reflects the old name within apple wallet. I can't seem to find where the actual display name for the merchant is set or updated. Any insights here would be helpful!

Inconsistent Wallet App Behavior with Mocked Data in PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionHandler
We are implementing Apple Pay and Wallet features in our app and using mocked data for testing purposes. Specifically, in the status(completion:) method of PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionHandler, we return: passEntriesAvailable: true, remotePassEntriesAvailable: true, requiresAuthentication: true, In the passEntries(completion:) method, we provide mocked data for our card. The issue is that the app icon inconsistently appears under the "From Apps on Your iPhone" section in the Wallet app. Sometimes it shows up as expected, but other times it does not. On recent occasions, when the app is selected and mocked authorization is paased, the behavior includes a system error 'Cannot Add Card' even though we provided status that indicates that the app has available cards for Wallet. For reference: The app uses two bundle IDs supporting in-app provisioning and PNO Pass Metadata has not been configured yet. Could you help clarify the potential reasons for this inconsistent behavior?

Examples of Apple Pay for in-app donations
Hi there, We build and operate apps for several PBS stations, and we're considering adding in-app donations with Apple Pay: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/nonprofits/ I'm curious if any examples of this functionality in a live app. We'd love to take a look, and get a better idea of use-cases before we tackle that project. (Seems like it would be a very nice upgrade.) Cheers, Kevin

Step-by-Step Guide Needed for NFC Activation in Apple Wallet Pass
Hi everyone, I am working on creating an NFC-enabled Apple Wallet pass but have been unable to get the NFC functionality to work. While the pass itself adds to Wallet without issues, the NFC feature does not activate. Here’s a summary of what I’ve done: 1. Developer Setup: Registered a Pass Type ID in my Apple Developer account. Generated and installed the Pass Type ID certificate. Installed the latest WWDR certificate. 2. Pass JSON Configuration: My pass.json file includes the following NFC configuration: "nfc": { "message": "Tap to unlock door", "encryptionPublicKey": "MY_ENCRYPTION_PUBLIC_KEY", "payload": "encrypted_nfc_payload" } 3. Testing Results: When the pass includes the nfc field, it adds to Wallet but NFC does not work. If I remove the nfc field, the pass works fine (minus NFC, of course). What I Need Help With: 1. A step-by-step guide for correctly implementing NFC in Wallet passes, including details about encryption, key generation, and any additional setup steps. 2. Information on whether there are specific device or iOS version requirements for NFC-enabled passes. If there are any prerequisites or specific configurations I might be missing, please let me know. I’d really appreciate detailed guidance or resources that could help resolve this issue. Thank you!

Use payment data from recurring payment out of time
Maybe this is a strange question but I think it's better to ask this before trying it and see what happens; if we use the dpan or mpan of a recurring payment to make a charge on a date other than the one shown to the final customer, could the payment be made without any problem by the bank or financial institutions involved? Naturally I understand that this would mainly cause great anger to the customer and of course if this were the case this could be explained in the billing agreement, but the doubt is mainly based on whether it is possible to use a dpan/mpan for a payment other than that of the original subscription.

Request: Increase Merchant ID Creation Limit for Apple Pay Integrations
**Hi Apple Developer Community, I’m currently integrating Apple Pay across multiple merchants for my e-commerce solution, and I’ve run into a significant challenge. Apple enforces a limit of 100 Merchant IDs per Developer Account, which is creating a bottleneck for my project. My Questions: 1- Is there a way to increase the limit of Merchant IDs on a Developer Account? 2- Has anyone faced a similar challenge and found a workaround to handle integrations with more than 100 merchants? 3- Are there any plans from Apple to lift or adjust this restriction for businesses working with high volumes of merchants? I’d appreciate any guidance, advice, or information from those who’ve encountered and resolved this issue. Thank you for your help!

Implement Apple Pay In app Provisioning as third party developer
Hi I have a question about In app Provisioning for Apple Pay. I'm a developer in company which makes application for one of banks. They want to have ability to add cards to Wallet by their app not by Wallet application. I know which functions and documentation i need to use but I have a problem with testing it. We are third party developer, have seperate teams, bank also has 3 apps for their testing environments. Bank sign agreements with Apple so they could have entitlements to check integration. And that is a question. Is there any change to check our implementation before checking it in production app? I've seen sandbox account feature: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing/ but I can' open In App provisioning window without entitlements. In Apple documentation we have statement that Apple is giving this entitlement only for production applications. So how to test it and check implementation before getting to production or without "mocking" application as production (changing id).
