Hello, I'm experiencing an irregular issue with Apple Pay merchant domain verification. As you know, Apple requires domain verification every two months to maintain Apple Pay functionality. The problem is that while the verification sometimes happens automatically without any issues, other times it fails to complete, even though the required file "apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt" is correctly available on our server. When automatic verification fails, the Apple Pay service becomes non-functional on our website, forcing us to perform a manual verification to restore the pending service. Is it normal to encounter such inconsistent automatic verification processes? What could be causing these intermittent verification failures, whereas manual verification always succeed? suggesting this might not be related to IP address restrictions described on the Apple documentation. Thank you in advance,

Is there a way to allow ApplePay to make deferred payments to a suite of stores, or will each store need the user to initially approve a payment manually?

I am working on implementing merchant token notifications. When calling this endpoint https://developer.apple.com/documentation/merchanttokennotificationservices/merchant-token-event-retrieval, the result contains a CardMetadata object with an expirationDate field (see https://developer.apple.com/documentation/merchanttokennotificationservices/cardmetadata). What is the format of this field? The spec only mentions that it has a maximum length of 8 characters.

Hello, I am following up on my previous feedback (Feedback ID: FB17175593) regarding the in-app provisioning failure for Apple Pay. In that report, I detailed errors encountered during the card addition process (notably issues related to a missing teamID and cryptographic material errors). Could you please provide an update on the investigation progress? I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response.

I am encountering an issue with the in-app provisioning flow using PKAddPaymentPassViewController. Specifically, when presenting the controller to allow users to add a pass to Apple Wallet, the device selection screen is showing all the devices, even after setting the primaryAccountIdentifier on the PKAddPaymentPassRequestConfiguration. Here's the context: I'm using PKAddPaymentPassViewController for in-app provisioning. I provide a valid primaryAccountIdentifier in the configuration. But after adding the pass, if i print back the primaryAccountIdentifier it displays some other value different than the identifier i had set(Example masked identifier: FAPLMC1GB000000066aa4xxxxxxxxxxxa744f16axxxxxxxx). The provisioning flow works, but the device list shown to the user includes all the devices (e.g., Apple Watches and iPhone even though it is already added to Apple Watch or iPhone).

Hello All - I'm attempting to enable my companies app to add credit card to Apple Wallet. Part of our app enables customers to generate new virtual cards on demand and I'm attempting to enable the ability to add these cards to the Apple Wallet. Everything seems to be working all the way to the final stage of the process where I get a PKPassKitErrorDomain systemCancelled and I can't seem to find any clues as to why the system is canceling. For context - I have the com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning entitlement. I have both the Wallet and In-App Provisioning capabilities enabled in the App. I have defined a PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate class that implements both the generateRequest and didFinishAdding methods. I'm leveraging PKAddPaymentPassViewController in SwiftUI by using a UIViewControllerRepresentable implementing class that returns the view controller properly when makeUIViewController is called. I build a PKAddPaymentPassRequest object and ensure that it is properly filled with encryptedPassData, activationData, and ephemeralPublicKey. As a user I'm able to go to the virtual card view, open the instance of PKAddPaymentPassViewController, select the destination for the card, see the Add Card information. I get to the point where the view tells me it's contacting the card issuer and then I get an error message "Could Not Add Card - Try again later or contact your card issuer for more information" with a "Set Up Later" button. I then get the system canceled error. I should mention that I'm able to add these virtual cards manually via the Apple Wallet. The process works similarly but requires me to provided an OTP to conclude the process. This flow works and I have active cards in my wallet. I'm having a very hard time figuring out how to try and debug this issue further. The only error that the system returns is the system canceled notice. Any insight into where I might be missing something or how to debug the issue further would be greatly appreciated. Any thought on how I could debug this further would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance - AYAL

Hello, I am setting up a feature for my company's banking app that allows users to add their payment/debit card they have with us to the Apple Wallet on their device. We have the in-app provisioning entitlement setup and configured in the app and configured with our banking partner/TSP. We are able to manually provision production environment cards via the Wallet app. I am using test card data from my TSP. I send them the two certificates, nonce, and nonce signature data and am given activationData, encryptedPassData, and an ephmeralPublicKey that we then set on an instance of PKAddPaymentPassRequest. We call the handler on the delegate method that is called with that request object and get an error: The operation couldn’t be completed. (PKPassKitErrorDomain error 2.) Looking at the PassKit library shows this is PKUnsupportedVersionError - Unsupported pass version. Our TSP hasn't been super helpful in troubleshooting this issue and just said we should contact Apple as it is an Apple error. I am trying to figure out if the issue is with how we are implementing the feature or with the test data itself given to us.

Hello, I am developing an Apple Pay and In-App Provisioning integration for the bank where I work. All entitlements are properly configured, and we are integrated correctly with our Payment Network Operator (PNO). We are using PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate to handle the provisioning process. The flow progresses as expected up to the Terms and Conditions screen. However, after accepting the terms, the process fails with the message: "Could not add card." Upon checking the device logs using the Wallet profile configuration, I observed the following response from Apple's backend: Response: https://nc-pod10-smp-device.apple.com:443/broker/v4/devices/041315032816900221610987313158566F368A9CEBA1291E/cards/745f792b9d0644e5a6e713d54f505296/enable 500 Time profile: 1.80458 seconds { x-conversation-id = "6ec59a63424f4035915e32f22ea645e4" Vary = "accept-language" Content-Type = "application/json" x-pod = "nc-pod10" x-keystone-correlationid = "E3DD5A5A-FD18-4500-8570-2BD1334E281C" Date = "Thu, 17 Apr 2025 07:05:03 GMT" x-apay-service-response-details = "via_upstream" Content-Length = "49" x-envoy-upstream-service-time = "964" x-pod-region = "paymentpass.com.apple" } { errorCode = 40456; statusCode = 500; } This seems to indicate that the card enablement step is failing on the server side. Our internal systems have not logged any request failure from Apple at this step, which makes it difficult to pinpoint whether the issue is in the PNO integration, entitlement configuration, or something else. We are currently testing in a production environment on a physical device (not using sandbox), and provisioning flows are initiated through our iOS app using PKAddPaymentPassRequest. Could you please help us interpret error code 40456 and identify what steps we should take to resolve this issue? If needed, we can also provide the full device log and additional details. Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards, Mansur Bagwan

Hello everyone. I encountered a problem when integrating Apple Pay. I obtained all the renewal orders through the Apple interface, and their purchaseDate is 8 hours later than the actual payment time. Why is this happening? According to the documentation, the purchaseDate value provided by Apple is a millisecond timestamp that represents the actual payment time of the user, so theoretically there shouldn’t be any timezone issues. This works well in client-initiated subscriptions, but in renewal scenarios, the purchaseDate becomes unreliable. Could this be due to some configuration in the configuration center? For example, I actually received an Apple notification at 1746686911000 (2025-05-08 06:48:31 Etc/GMT). However, the data returned by the Apple interface is as shown below: { "appAccountToken": "xxxx", "bundleId": "xxxx", "currency": "GBP", "environment": "Production", "expiresDate": 1762616831000, "inAppOwnershipType": "PURCHASED", "isUpgraded": false, "offerDiscountType": "", "offerIdentifier": "", "offerType": 0, "originalPurchaseDate": 1746456432000, "originalTransactionId": "320002311698411", "price": 39990, "productId": "xxxx", "purchaseDate": 1746715631000, "quantity": 1, "revocationDate": 0, "revocationReason": 0, "signedDate": 1746687092825, "storefront": "GBR", "storefrontId": "xxxx", "subscriptionGroupIdentifier": "xxxx", "transactionId": "320002315815857", "transactionReason": "RENEWAL", "type": "Auto-Renewable Subscription", "webOrderLineItemId": "320001062124562" } You can see that the purchaseDate is 1746715631000 (2025-05-08 14:48:31 Etc/GMT), which is even later than the current time. Can someone explain this behavior that is inconsistent with the documentation, or did I do something wrong? I would be very grateful for any help anyone can provide.

During our Apple Pay integration testing, we encountered an issue that we're unsure how to resolve. Below are the steps we followed: Created an Apple Pay sandbox test account for Raul and added a test card, following the documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing/ Opened the Golfmanager platform and initiated a booking. For payment, selected Apple Pay as the method. Raul clicked the Apple Pay button on the Golfmanager UI. He scanned the QR code using his iPhone, logged in with the test account. Apple Pay began validating our merchant identity and retrieved the wallet token to proceed with payment. The Apple Pay payment sheet appeared on Raul's iPhone, showing the card details and the amount requested by Golfmanager. Suddenly, the Apple Pay sheet closed unexpectedly, and we have no insight into what went wrong or what might be missing on our end.

Description: I’m integrating Apple Pay JS (version 3) into an Angular application. Here are the key details: Environment: Angular (latest) Apple Pay JS v3 Chrome (confirmed window.ApplePaySession is available) application region is in US. I'm in Taiwan and using my iPhone Taiwan account to scan the QR Code/ Implemented Handlers: onvalidatemerchant onpaymentmethodselected onpaymentauthorized oncancel Observed Behavior: When I click the Apple Pay button, the console logs: Failed to execute 'postMessage' on 'DOMWindow': The target origin provided ('https://applepay.cdn-apple.com') does not match the recipient window's origin ('https://{our-domain-name}') Despite this, the QR code still appears. Scanning the QR code with an iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 18.4.1 brings up the Apple Pay sheet with the correct amount, but payment never completes. In the browser, none of my Angular event handlers fire except oncancel. Questions: What causes the postMessage origin mismatch with Apple’s CDN frame, and how should my application handle it? Why doesn’t onpaymentauthorized ever fire, and how can I complete the payment flow so that session.completePayment() succeeds? Any guidance or sample code snippets for a proper merchant-validation and payment-completion sequence in this setup would be greatly appreciated. my code onApplePayButtonClicked() { if (!ApplePaySession) { console.error('[ApplePay] ApplePaySession is not supported'); return; } // Define ApplePayPaymentRequest const request : ApplePayJS.ApplePayPaymentRequest = { countryCode: this.currencyCode, currencyCode: Constants.CountryCodeUS, merchantCapabilities: this.merchantCapabilities, supportedNetworks: this.supportedNetworks, total: { label: this.label, type: "final" as ApplePayJS.ApplePayLineItemType, amount: this.orderAmount.toString(), }, }; // Create ApplePaySession const session = new ApplePaySession(3, request); session.onvalidatemerchant = async event => { console.info('[ApplePay] onvalidatemerchant', event); try { const merchantSession = await fetch(`${this.paymentUrl}/api/applepay/validatemerchant`, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, body: JSON.stringify({ PKeyCompany: this.paymentAppleMerchantId, ValidationUrl: event.validationURL }) }).then((r) => r.json()); session.completeMerchantValidation(merchantSession); } catch (error) { console.error('[ApplePay] onvalidatemerchant MerchantValidation error', error); session.abort(); } }; session.onpaymentauthorized = (event) => { console.info('[ApplePay] paymentauthorized', event); const token = event.payment.token; this.paymentTokenEmitted.emit({ token: JSON.stringify(token), paymentType: PaymentOptionType.ApplePay }); session.completePayment(ApplePaySession.STATUS_SUCCESS); }; session.onpaymentmethodselected = (event) => { console.info('[ApplePay] paymentmethodselected', event); const update: ApplePayJS.ApplePayPaymentMethodUpdate = { newTotal: request.total }; session.completePaymentMethodSelection(update); }; session.oncancel = (event) => { console.error('[ApplePay] oncancel', event); this.errorEmitted.emit({ error: 'Apple Pay cancel' }); }; session.begin(); }

We are an issuer attempting to implement In-App Provisioning of Payment Cards leveraging Mastercard MDES and have successfully obtained our entitlement from Apple, but have not received the documentation titled "Getting Started with Apple Pay In-App Provisioning, Verification & Security". The latest copy I have found has been via Scribd for a version 3.0 from June 2020. I've tried contacting Apple Support and the In-App Provisioning Entitlements group but have had no luck. Thank you!

When I use my iPhone to scan the apple pay QR code in chrome, the url is https://applepaydemo.apple.com/apple-pay-js-api, I keep geting the "Service Unavailable" error. Wonder know if you guys meet this error as well? Btw, the QR code feature needs IOS 18.

Hello! We use Apple's "master account" scheme to register new clients trough API due to the fact that the number of merchant IDs in a developer account cannot exceed 100 records. It's been almost a year since we successfully used the master account ( ex. "merchant.com.xxx") and register clients via Postman. At the moment, the certificates for the master merchant ID start to expire on July 11 which will affect all customers which is under Master ID. We know that when updating certificates at the identifier level(our master id), new universal identity certificate files that we use to send to the merchants (merchant_id.pem, privkey.key) will be generated for authentication on the merchant side, as well as a new keystore. Since many of our clients are integrated with current files and keystores and have live traffic, we would like to know—is it possible to update certificates on the master account without changing the keystores and certificate identities? The impossibility of this will entail a large gap when switching to new certificates. Thanks in advance for your answer.

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

Hello, On my website, I have a button to make a payment via Apple Pay. When I click on it, the Touch ID window opens correctly. However, when I place my finger on the Touch ID, I get a payment error. This issue only occurs in production mode. In sandbox mode, everything works perfectly. Here is a log file : log.txt Thank you in advance for your help.

We request your support in enabling the extended entitlement feature for our team when creating provisioning profiles. This is because we need to include the ApplePay In-App Provisioning Development extended entitlement in our Bancoagricola app. Currently, when creating new provisioning profiles, the screen to configure Additional Entitlements is not displayed for our team. However, we have verified with our provider HST (https://hst.com.br/) that this screen does appear in their Apple account. Thank you very much for your support.

We have verified our domain but if the file is removed from the deployed site after verification will this impact using ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities in real time? We use that method from the JS api in our React app to determine whether or not to show the apple pay button. When that function is called in the browser, do the apple servers ping the https://our.domain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association URL at that time? Or do they check for it periodically? The reason for asking is that with our many environments we wonder if we can verify each environment's domain by adding the file once. The file will be wiped out by our CICD process as it goes up the environment stack through our development workflow. Or do we need to maintain that file for each environment and add something to our build process?

We plan to set Manual PAN Entry Allowed = N and accept only issuer push provisioning (PKAddPaymentPass). Is there any Apple Pay programme rule that obliges us to keep MANUAL_ENTRY enabled? Will disabling it affect “Participating Issuer” listing?
