In-App Provisioning fails at eligibility with errorCode 40001
Our issuer app's in-app provisioning fails at ProvisioningStepEligibility with PKPaymentWebServiceErrorDomain Code=40001 "Invalid Card - Check the information on your card and try again." (HTTP 403), before Terms & Conditions are presented. Setup: Mastercard/US, PNO Payment Data Configuration 3 (Encrypted FPAN), EV_ECC_V2, TestFlight build, initiated from the issuer app. The certificate fetch (issuerProvisioningCertificates?encryptionVersion=EV_ECC_v2) returns 200, the ephemeral public key is uncompressed 65 bytes with a leading 0x04, and the Configuration 3 payload contains all eight required keys with correctly hex-encoded nonce and nonceSignature. Since the request reaches the eligibility step and returns a card-level error rather than a cryptography error, the rejection appears to be on the card data itself rather than the envelope. Filed with sysdiagnose, timestamps, and full correlation identifiers as FB24418152. We would appreciate help determining whether errorCode 40001 originates from Apple's validation of the decrypted payload or is relayed from the PNO, and if Apple decrypted it, which field failed validation. Thank you

Being added to the Payment Service Provider list
Hello, We are an acquirer and payment service provider offering Apple Pay to our merchants through our hosted checkout page. We started processing Apple Pay transactions in production at the beginning of this month. However, we cannot find our company name on the Payment Service Providers list below: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/payment-platforms/ Could you please advise us on the process and requirements for having our company added to this Payment Service Providers list?

Apple Pay
We are an acquirer/payment provider offering Apple Pay. Our merchants use our hosted checkout to accept payments. After a user pays with Apple Pay on our checkout, the Wallet transaction record shows our checkout domain as the payee. We would like it to display the merchant’s brand/name so users can recognize or contact the merchant. Is there any parameter or configuration that controls what Wallet shows as the payee? For example, can this be set via a specific field/parameter, or is it strictly derived from the Merchant ID’s display name (or other Apple Pay configuration)? What is the correct approach for a PSP/acquirer to have the merchant’s brand shown in Wallet transaction record? Additional detail: The field in question is the merchant/payee name shown in the Apple Wallet receipt—directly under the transaction amount at the top of the receipt, and again beneath the “Total” line.

Apple Pay on the Web – Merchant Domain Verification Fails with Let’s Encrypt Cert
Posting this here because I lost way too many hours on it and hopefully someone finds this before going down the same rabbit hole. Apple Support's support was basically asking me to check the docs and this forum for solutions. I guess it's better than saying "google it yourself", but not much better ;) The issue was that Apple Pay merchant domain verification kept failing, both automated and manual. I checked pretty much everything: domain association file HTTPS DNS TLS App Service configuration Merchant ID openssl verification The interesting part was that everything looked perfectly healthy. Browsers were happy, OpenSSL reported Verify return code: 0 (ok), and there were no TLS errors. Turned out the problem was Apple's verification mechanism incompatibility with the new Generation Y cert chain, which is used as default by Let's Encrypt. My site was using a Let’s Encrypt ECDSA certificate with this chain: → YE1 → Root YE → ISRG Root X2 I reissued it as RSA (still Let’s Encrypt), which resulted in: → YR2 → Root YR → ISRG Root X1 Apple Pay domain verification started working immediately. If you’re using Certbot: sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges http --key-type rsa --rsa-key-size 2048 --force-renewal --cert-name yourdomain.com -d yourdomain.com I don’t know whether Apple Pay currently has an issue with Let’s Encrypt’s newer Generation Y ECDSA hierarchy, or whether something in their merchant validation infrastructure doesn’t like that chain. If you’ve already checked the usual stuff and everything looks correct, this is definitely worth trying before spending another day debugging.

Applepay on the web: 401 Unauthorized when validating session
Hello, I', are trying to add applepay payment on our website using the PSP payxpert. They don't provide any SDK to my knowledge unlike paypal/stripe and their documentation just tell to send a few different data as usual credit card payment. But I'm stuck even before that step, we were able to add the applepay button on the site, we did setup the sandbox account on the iPhone with a test card. We could add the merchant id, created the "Apple Pay Payment Processing Certificate", the "Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate" and we verified the marchant domain. We have our backend request the validationURL on onvalidatemerchant. We're using PHP, and send the data in json as the example in: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ApplePayontheWeb/requesting-an-apple-pay-payment-session The validation url we receive from applepaysession js is: https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession The doc mentions to add /paymentSession so I tried that as well as just the raw validationURL. Both sends me a 401 Unauthorized response. I'm not sure what missing, I double checked the merchantIdentifier matches and that the initiativeContext is correct, but no luck. I wonder if we missed a step in the configuring the server, as it say to create certificate and upload them. Then we can download the .cer files, do we need to do something with that? Kind regards

Correct value of merchantIdentifier when using Web Merchant Registration API
Hi! We recently signed up and activated the Web Merchant Registration API and registered a few of our merchants. We registered them as: { "domainNames" : ["X"], "partnerMerchantName" : "Name", "partnerInternalMerchantIdentifier": "MID-###", "encryptTo" : "platformintegrator.X", "merchantUrl": "https://www.x" } When we make the payment with startsession, we are getting an error 400: Payment Services Exception merchantId=platformintegrator.x not registered for domain=x I suspect that this has to do with the value of merchantIdentifier we are setting in the startsession. What should it be? MID-###? The encryptTo hash of platform? platformintegrator.x? Also, what's the meaning of the property on the sub-merchant I get from the GET API call delegatedCommerce: {enabled=True}?

UCOF transaction with saved card in Apple
Hello, We are implementing support for Merchant Initiated Transactions (MIT) classified as Unscheduled Card-on-File (UCOF). Could you please clarify which request object(s) and mandatory field(s) should be provided during the initial Customer Initiated Transaction (CIT) to correctly support future MIT UCOF transactions and mandatory fields also for subsequent UCOF transactions? If ApplePayRecurringPaymentRequest / RecurringTransactionInfo should be used for this scenario, could you please specify how these objects should be populated for UCOF, including the expected values of all mandatory fields? If a different request object or approach is required for UCOF, could you please provide the recommended implementation or reference documentation? Best regards,

How can I stop needing to verify my Merchant Domain manually every month?
Our client's site uses Apple Pay, and once a month we get a series of email notifying us that the domain verification is about to expire: Your website domain that uses Apple Pay has an SSL Certificate that expires on Oct 11, 2020. We were unable to automatically to reverify your domain. To ensure uninterrupted use of Apple Pay on your website, revalidate your domain by Oct 11, 2020 in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. The site uses Let's Encrypt to automatically renew its SSL cert monthly. Every time that happens, we need to log into the Apple Developer tools, navigate to Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles -> Identifiers -> Merchant IDs -> ID -> Merchant Domains, then download the file and drop it onto the server with SFTP. It's a pain. Is there a way to automate this process (or better yet, stop it from happening)? I can't imagine monthly-renewing SSL certificates is a particularly uncommon thing.

Apple Pay, domain verification automatic renewal not working
Hi everyone, We are integrating Apple Pay on the Web, and we're trying to get the automatic renewal of the domain verification working according to the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/maintaining_your_environment Initially the domain verification is successful, but then the automatic renewal does not work. We keep getting the emails with the subject "Your domain will expire soon.", but they only say "We were unable to automatically to reverify your domain." without any further details. We confirmed that the site's SSL certificate has already been renewed by the time Apple attempted the renewal of verification, the certs are renewed 30 days before their expiry (using Let's Encrypt). So according to the docs, at least the renewal attempts 15, and then 7 days before the expiry should be successful. One example domain is this one: https://www.kayak.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt, but we have the same issue for all our other domains as well. Does anyone have suggestions how to troubleshoot this further? (I tried creating a support ticket, but they basically replied that they're non-technical, and just linked me to the documentation. I've seen others complaining about this too, but couldn't find a conclusive solution, so I thought I'd signal boost and create a fresh topic to see if there are any more recent findings about this problem.) Thanks! Regards, Mark

Deep link to specific payment pass in Apple Wallet from third party app
I am building CardNeuro, an iOS app that uses GPS to detect the nearest merchant and recommends the highest-earning credit card in the user's wallet at point of sale. Current flow: GPS detects merchant App recommends best card (e.g. Amex Gold for dining, Amazon Visa for groceries) User taps — Apple Wallet opens User has to scroll to find the right card The problem: Apple Wallet opens to the last used card, not the card we recommended. The user still has to find it manually. What I want to do: Open Apple Wallet directly to a specific payment pass so the recommended card is shown immediately and the user can double-click to pay with no extra steps. What I found in the docs: PKPassLibrary exposes a passURL property on payment passes: let passLib = PKPassLibrary() let walletURL = passLib .passes(of: .payment) .first(where: { $0.localizedName == "Amex Gold" })? .passURL if let url = walletURL { UIApplication.shared.open(url) } My questions: Does PKPassLibrary.passes(of: .payment) return cards added natively to Apple Wallet by the user — or only passes provisioned by my own app? Is opening passURL via UIApplication.shared.open() permitted for third party apps that did not provision the pass? Is a special entitlement required to read payment passes from PKPassLibrary that belong to other apps or were added natively? If deep linking to a specific payment pass is not available to third party apps — is there any recommended API or UX pattern for surfacing a specific card to the user before they tap to pay? Any guidance from the team appreciated.

Premium Feature in App
Hi Everyone, I’ve made an educational app that has limited feature usage to free users but paying monthly subscribers get full access however Apple has rejected the app due to this reason and when I responded asking how to change it they said they can’t help me so does anyone know how to create a subscription that gives access to the full app without getting rejected as there are already many apps out there with this system

In-App Provisioning fails at eligibility with errorCode 40001
Our issuer app's in-app provisioning fails at ProvisioningStepEligibility with PKPaymentWebServiceErrorDomain Code=40001 "Invalid Card - Check the information on your card and try again." (HTTP 403), before Terms & Conditions are presented. Setup: Mastercard/US, PNO Payment Data Configuration 3 (Encrypted FPAN), EV_ECC_V2, TestFlight build, initiated from the issuer app. The certificate fetch (issuerProvisioningCertificates?encryptionVersion=EV_ECC_v2) returns 200, the ephemeral public key is uncompressed 65 bytes with a leading 0x04, and the Configuration 3 payload contains all eight required keys with correctly hex-encoded nonce and nonceSignature. Since the request reaches the eligibility step and returns a card-level error rather than a cryptography error, the rejection appears to be on the card data itself rather than the envelope. Filed with sysdiagnose, timestamps, and full correlation identifiers as FB24418152. We would appreciate help determining whether errorCode 40001 originates from Apple's validation of the decrypted payload or is relayed from the PNO, and if Apple decrypted it, which field failed validation.

Does anyone have suggestions how to troubleshoot this further? (I tried creating a support ticket, but they basically replied that they're non-technical, and just linked me to the documentation. I've seen others complaining about this too, but couldn't find a conclusive solution, so I thought I'd signal boost and create a fresh topic to see if there are any more recent findings about this problem.) Thanks! Regards, Mark

Deep link to specific payment pass in Apple Wallet from third party app
I am building CardNeuro, an iOS app that uses GPS to detect the nearest merchant and recommends the highest-earning credit card in the user's wallet at point of sale. Current flow: GPS detects merchant App recommends best card (e.g. Amex Gold for dining, Amazon Visa for groceries) User taps — Apple Wallet opens User has to scroll to find the right card The problem: Apple Wallet opens to the last used card, not the card we recommended. The user still has to find it manually. What I want to do: Open Apple Wallet directly to a specific payment pass so the recommended card is shown immediately and the user can double-click to pay with no extra steps. What I found in the docs: PKPassLibrary exposes a passURL property on payment passes: let passLib = PKPassLibrary() let walletURL = passLib .passes(of: .payment) .first(where: { $0.localizedName == "Amex Gold" })? .passURL if let url = walletURL { UIApplication.shared.open(url) } My questions: Does PKPassLibrary.passes(of: .payment) return cards added natively to Apple Wallet by the user — or only passes provisioned by my own app? Is opening passURL via UIApplication.shared.open() permitted for third party apps that did not provision the pass? Is a special entitlement required to read payment passes from PKPassLibrary that belong to other apps or were added natively? If deep linking to a specific payment pass is not available to third party apps — is there any recommended API or UX pattern for surfacing a specific card to the user before they tap to pay? Any guidance from the team appreciated.

Premium Feature in App
Hi Everyone, I’ve made an educational app that has limited feature usage to free users but paying monthly subscribers get full access however Apple has rejected the app due to this reason and when I responded asking how to change it they said they can’t help me so does anyone know how to create a subscription that gives access to the full app without getting rejected as there are already many apps out there with this system

ApplePay on website -validateMerchant-payment sheet stuck
I tried to integrate ApplePay on website. Followed the official documentation. Successfully creating the apple session. However according to my logs, execution doesn't even going to verify the merchant. When I click the ApplePay button the payment sheet displays and it brings the card details, but the bottom button stays "Processing". May I know what could be the reason? Our PSP is credimax. Any input to resolve this is highly appreciate. we stuck on this for last 3 months.
