I am trying to play around on the Apple Pay demo page (https://applepaydemo.apple.com) and I am getting the following error response.
PaymentRequest AbortError: The operation was aborted.
I am using the Payment Request API
Hi @Ibbyz,

This error fires when Safari calls paymentRequest.show() and determines internally that it can't present the Apple Pay payment sheet. It is almost always a precondition failure, not a code problem.
The most likely causes are:
- Wrong browser. Apple Pay via the Payment Request API only works in Safari. It will abort in every other browser without exception.
- No Card in Wallet. Even in Safari, if there's no verified card set up in Wallet, the payment sheet has nothing to show and aborts immediately.
- Not signed into iCloud. Apple Pay requires an active iCloud account on the device. If you are signed out, the Wallet is non-functional and the payment sheet aborts.
- Safari version is too old. The Payment Request API with Apple Pay support requires Safari 12.1 or later. Older versions will abort.
