We’ve noticed that the ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities() check has stopped working correctly in Safari over the past couple of days.
Behavior observed:
1.) In Safari Private Window, paymentCredentialStatus behaves as expected and case 1 is triggered.
2.) In a normal Safari window, it always triggers case 3 (paymentCredentialsUnavailable), even when the user has active cards provisioned in Wallet.
We tested across multiple devices, and the behavior is consistent.
if (window.ApplePaySession) {
var merchantIdentifier = 'YOUR MERCHANT IDENTIFIER';
var promise = ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities(merchantIdentifier); promise.then(function(capabilities) {
switch (capabilities.paymentCredentialStatus) {
case "paymentCredentialsAvailable":
// Show Apple Pay button as primary option
case "paymentCredentialStatusUnknown":
// Offer Apple Pay
case "paymentCredentialsUnavailable":
// Consider showing Apple Pay button
case "applePayUnsupported":
// Don’t show Apple Pay button
}
})
}
This used to work fine until a few days ago, but now the capability check in non-private Safari windows always indicates unavailable, even with valid active cards.
Has anyone else faced this issue recently? Could this be a Safari regression or a change on Apple’s side?
Thanks in advance!
