I am interested in adding Apple Pay on the Product Detail Page of the e-commerce website I manage.
I am wondering how authentication on my website will work with Apple Pay.
Here is our current process:
User has an account: if user is logged out, in order to access the checkout page, we require user to login
User has no account: if user is logged out and has no account, in order to access the checkout page, we require user to share an email
With ApplePay, how do we manage logged out users?
The flow would be:
user is logged out
user is on PDP
user selects a size
we prompt "buy with ApplePay"
user validates ApplePay
we prompt the ApplePay payment sheet with all configurable fields
user finalize the purchase
User has an account: In this flow, how do I link this purchase to the existing account in my backend system so that user can see his order history?
User has no account: In this flow, at what point in time does the account gets created in my back-end so that I can create an internal member ID and process the order?
