ApplePay initiate session sporadic failures

I've successfully set up ApplePay Web for two of my sites. I've now added and verified the URL for my 3rd site. The issue I've got is I get sporadic failures attempting to initiate the ApplePay session with an error response of:

{ "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception merchantId=xxxx not registered for domain=***.com", "statusCode": "400" }

The session intitiation DOES often succeed and then I'm able to complete a payment but.

The URL the ApplePay javascript supplies to intiate the session is:

https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession

The payload I send is:

{ merchantIdentifier = "merchant.my.identifier", initiative = "web", initiativeContext = "site.url.com", displayName = "My Name" }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
