We are trying to go through the verification process for using Apple Pay on our web sites. We have lots of domains, and subdomains, and none of our dev and staging environments are publicly accessible.
From everything I’ve read, it appears that the verification process requires putting a text file on each subdomain, no matter what the environment is. If this is correct, which seems like a very difficult task, since no one would want their non-production environments available to the internet, how long does this process take, and how often does Apple need to verify the file.
Ultimately, we will offer Apple Pay across a total of more than 150 domains/subdomains if I have to include each environment. Is there anyway to just verify the top level domain of each in production?
Also, any suggestions on allowing verification to domains that aren’t publicly accessible (dev/testing/staging) as all these areas will need to go through testing and automation before moving to production.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated..
