Hi - I have a question. I am trying to understand when Apple Pay will be available on non-IOS desktop devices (specifically Google Chrome). I was hoping to understand better the process, specifically the following:

How can I get the Apple Pay QR code installed on my desktop checkout page on Google Chrome?
How long does this process usually take?
If I work with Stripe, do I need to get approval from them to install the Apple QR code onto my Google Chrome checkout page?
Is this readily available to all merchants (i.e., installing Apple Pay on Google Chrome)/

I have not seen this on any other checkout pages yet. Are there any examples you could point me to of merchants that have installed Apple Pay onto non-IOS desktop so I could trial the process (i.e., a list of existing merchants that have put the QR code onto their Google Chrome checkout pages)?

Hi, it's great to hear you are interested in Apple Pay support for 3rd party browsers!

This functionality is available today! If you manage your own Apple Pay integration, enabling support for 3rd party browsers is very straightforward. All that's required is to import the latest Apple Pay JS SDK on your site, alongside your existing Apple Pay integration. It's also recommended to start using the new applePayCapabilities API (documentation) to determine availability of Apple Pay.

If you've integrated Apple Pay using your eCommerce Platform or Payment Processor, support for 3rd party browsers may not yet be available through them. If that's the case, any questions regarding availability should be directed to them.

More information regarding how integrate Apple Pay and the JS SDK is available within the What's new in Wallet & Apple Pay WWDC24 session, and on the Apple Pay on the Web Interactive Demo website.

You can also test out functionality on the Interactive Demo website, including using browsers such as Chrome, to see Apple Pay in action, without it making any charges.

@Frameworks Engineer could I suggest the documentation for Apple Pay on the Web, and on the Interactive Demo, be updated now there is support for third party browsers?

The demo still mentions:

This demo uses Apple Pay JS API, and to run this demo you need to use:

iOS devices running iOS 11 or later
Safari 11 with macOS 10.13 or later

The documentation for applePayCapabilities refers to:

applePayUnsupported

Indicates that the device doesn’t support Apple Pay. Don’t display an Apple Pay button or offer Apple Pay as a payment option.

applePayUnsupported is the response we receive on non-Apple devices and browsers, leaving us wondering how we are supposed to decide when to display the Apple Pay option.
