PLATFORM AND VERSION iOS Development environment: Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a), macOS 14.6.1 Run-time configuration: iOS 26 DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM We would like to seek clarification on how to determine whether a card used via Apple Pay is a credit or debit card before sending the transaction request. Currently, we can retrieve the card type information (credit/debit) from the Apple Pay response payload, but this is only available after the payment has been processed. However, we need to determine the card type in advance, as our system calculates and applies transaction fees based on the card type, which should be added to the total transaction amount before submission. Could you please advise if there is any parameter, API field, or pre-authorization mechanism available to identify the card type prior to initiating the transaction request? We would appreciate your guidance or any related documentation for implementing this. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Initiate Apple pay Payment from Apple pay Getting payload we can retrieve the card type information (credit/debit) from the Apple Pay response payload, but this is only available after the payment has been processed. We need to identify if there's any way to know the card user selected(whether it is credit/debit) before processing the payment.

We’re attempting to call the Apple Pay Web Merchant Registration API using our Platform Integrator flow and consistently receive 401 Unauthorized, despite successful TLS/mTLS. Details: Endpoint: https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant (POST) Payload: { "domainNames": ["breakerfy.com"], "encryptTo": "platformintegrator.ai.packman", "partnerInternalMerchantIdentifier": "merchant.ai.packman.1", "partnerMerchantName": "breakerfy", "merchantUrl": "https://breakerfy.com" } Domain association: URL: https://breakerfy.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association What we tried: We created a Payment Platform Integrator ID (platformintegrator.ai.packman) We created a CertificateSigningRequest We used the certificate signing request to create an Apple Pay Platform Integrator Identity Certificate and downloaded the signed certificate. We exported the Private Key from keychain access in PKCS 12 format We converted both the private key and the signed certificate to PEM format We created a merchant id We used the converted keys to send requests to the API We received { "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception Unauthorized", "statusCode": "401" } we also tried curl with the original p12 file and also had no luck. What could be the issue ?

Hello, I'm using PassKit with to perform Apple Pay payment in a financial application. Our approach are: On iOS application, define PKMerchantCapability threeDSecure and credit, perform apple pay experience and get the encrypted response. On PCI service, receive the encrypted data Payment token, decrypt this data, and use to perform the payment. The problem is, in MasterCard transaction the eciIndicator is missing. I want to know if has some rule or problem about it.

Hello Dear Network, We are developing a banking application and are implementing Apple Wallet In-App Provisioning with Wallet UI and Non-UI extensions. Our App Store submission fails with the error: "Missing entitlement com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning" for both Wallet UI and Non-UI extensions. In the Apple Developer portal, we do not see the "Apple Pay" or "In-App Provisioning" capabilities available for our App ID or extension App IDs. We would like to request enablement of: Apple Pay Payment Pass Provisioning In-App Provisioning for our Apple Developer Team and related App IDs. Please let us know what we need to do for can upload build with that Entitlements, what can be problem? Thank you.

Hi, I’m encountering an issue in my app’s Wallet Extension, specifically within the Non-UI Extension, where we are unable to retrieve payment passes bound to a user’s account. The same code that successfully retrieves these bound cards in the main app does not work when used in the Non-UI Extension. Case-ID: 8932090 Steps to Reproduce: Set up In-App Provisioning: Ensure that the app has the necessary In-App Provisioning permissions. This functionality works correctly in the main app, confirming that the permissions are properly configured. Configure Wallet Extensions: Follow the Wallet Extensions documentation to configure the app, including all required settings for the Non-UI Extension. Add Code to Retrieve Payment Passes: In the main app’s LoginView, implement the following code in the handleLogin() method to retrieve payment passes: // Get the identifiers of payment passes that already exist in Apple Pay. paymentPassLibrary = self.passLibrary.passes(of: .secureElement) for pass in paymentPassLibrary { if let identifier = pass.secureElementPass?.primaryAccountIdentifier { if pass.isRemotePass && pass.deviceName.localizedCaseInsensitiveContains("Apple Watch") { remotePassIdentifiers.insert(identifier) } else if !pass.isRemotePass { passIdentifiers.insert(identifier) } } } Verify Functionality in Main App: Run the app and verify that the code successfully retrieves the payment passes bound to the user’s account. Implement Code in Non-UI Extension: Add the same code to the Non-UI Extension, specifically in the WNonUIExtHandler class within the override func status(completion: @escaping (PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionStatus) -> Void) method. Test in Wallet Extension: Run the Wallet Extension and observe that the payment passes are not retrieved when the code is executed in the Non-UI Extension. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide insight into why the code might not work in the Non-UI Extension compared to the main app? Support Information: iOS Version: 17.5.1 Development environment: Xcode 15.4 (15F31d), macOS 14.3 (23D56) Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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, We are experiencing a consistent delay when initiating Apple Pay sessions using the https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession endpoint. Below is a detailed overview of our setup and the issue. Setup Our web service is hosted in AWS and there is a proxy server between our web service and Apple servers. We are passing the correct domain in the initiativeContext field of the startSession request. The .well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file is hosted on a different domain, which is also correctly configured and associated with our merchant ID in the Apple Developer portal. Observed Behavior When the same request is made from a local development environment, Apple responds immediately (under 1 second). When the request is made from our AWS-hosted service, Apple responds with a valid session, but only after a consistent ~15-second delay. The content and response are otherwise identical — only the timing differs. We would appreciate any insights or suggestions from others who have faced similar behavior or from the Apple Pay team. Thank you in advance!

We are unable to add/remove Merchant IDs in App IDs identifier profile, after pressing "Edit" button on "Apple Pay Payment Processing" section, then choosing desired Merchant ID to check/uncheck from the available Merchant IDs, then pressing Continue/Save/Confirm buttons - nothing happens, the "Save" button text briefly changes to "Processing" and then back To "Save" and we still have previously enabled Merchant IDs and the Save button is still in enabled state, any help?

Hi, I set up a Sandbox Tester account in my company’s Apple Developer Program and signed in on my iPhone under Settings → App Store → Sandbox Account. When I go to Wallet → Add, I only see options for Credit or Debit Card or Travel Card. The option to add an Apple Pay Sandbox Card is missing, and when I try entering the test card numbers from Apple’s documentation (developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing), the card is not valid. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Thanks! PS: I can't post this to Wallet Category, I keep getting error that it contains sensitive text.

We’re building a usage-based rental flow. The final charge is only known after the session ends (like gas pumps). We want the same Apple Pay UX that gas stations like at a gas station has: the user does not see a pre-authorization amount up front; they only see “approved” and later the final posted amount on the statement. What we observe (gas stations / desired UX) When paying at gas station with Apple Pay (card-present), the user confirms their card (double-tap) but no pre-auth amount is shown in Wallet/notification UI. The small notification is from the bank (not the merchant) and shows only bank + merchant name, no total. After fueling ends, the final amount appears on the statement from the merchant. What happens in our flow (current behavior) Platform: Apple Pay via Stripe (Apple Pay on the Web with QR → mobile Safari Wallet sheet). When a user confirms payment, the pre-authorization amount is shown immediately to the user (appears like a charge from the user’s perspective). We want to avoid showing that amount, matching the pay-at-pump experience.

Hello. we are looking in adding an additional verification method as part of our in app provisioning to apple wallet. the method is called app to app verification method where basically when the customer adds their card (debit or credit) on apple wallet they can be verified through a third party app. does apple support this? where can i find any material related to this?

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.

Hello, Please help. We have been experiencing what appears to be a TLS handshake error in our Apple Pay merchant validation requests (2-way TLS) since June 25, 2025. We are aware of the encryption algorithm changes made in February 2025, and our system was functioning correctly at that time. However, the error started occurring suddenly and only recently. Could you please clarify the following points? Have there been any changes to the TLS configuration (cipher suites, certificates, protocol versions, etc.) on the Apple Pay server side since June 2025? Have there been any updates to the specifications or recommended settings for merchant validation requests? Is there any way to contact Apple for technical support regarding this issue other than through the Developer Forums? Our Merchant Identity Certificate has already been renewed and is confirmed to be valid.

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!

I tried to test In-App Provisioning in Production for our whitelisted app through TestFlight (Internal Testing Track) and we received the following error response from PassBook during the provisioning attempt, Could you please guide us?

For Apple Pay testing, I have tried the following: Sign into the Sandbox Account via Developer Settings: Settings > Developer > Sandbox Account Keep your main Apple ID for everything else Add Test Cards to Wallet: Try adding the test card numbers (MasterCard and Visa Debit, as we support only those) Apple provides in their documentation. Unfortunately, none of them are added to the wallet. All the time it gives 'Could Not Add Card'. I tried on devices with iOS 18+. Can anyone advise on this? Thanks

I am adding In-App provisioning to my app. I am able to access the Apple Pay Sandbox and I have successfully tested adding a secure element/payment pass to Apple Wallet. However, once the pass has been added to the wallet, I can not access or retrieve the pass from my app. I have confirmed with the PNO that the PNO Pass Metadata Configuration in the testing environment include the correct metadata for "associatedApplicationIdentifiers" and "associatedStoreIdentifiers". Does anyone know why I am having this issue and how I can resolve it? Steps used to access pass in Apple Wallet I am unable to view the pass when I attempt to access it using the PKPassLibrary function as follows: let library = PKPassLibrary() if #available(iOS 13.4, *) { // This returns an empty array library.passes(of: .secureElement) } else { // This also returns an empty array library.passes(of: .payment) } // This returns an empty array too library.passes() Steps used to add pass to Apple Wallet These are the steps I follow to add the card: I create a PKAddPaymentPassRequestConfiguration I use this config to instantiate a PKAddPaymentPassViewController. I provide the nonce, nonceSignature, and certificates to my PNO along with the card data. I receive the activationData, encryptedPassData, and ephemeralPublicKey from my PNO and create a PKAddPaymentPassRequest using this data. I add the pass to Apple Wallet. In the addPaymentPassViewController callback, I am able to view the pass data from the .didFinishAdding pass: PKPaymentPass? variable. I am also able to see that the pass has been added from Apple Wallet app. I am not able to access the pass using PKPassLibrary().passes() at this point. I am not able to access the pass at any point after adding it either.

We have updated the PNO metadata to include the associatedApplicationIdentifiers for our wallet extensions and the issuer app. While we are able to successfully provision the card to Apple Wallet via pull provisioning, we are unable to retrieve the payment passes that have already been provisioned. How can we address this issue? let passLibrary = PKPassLibrary() let paymentPassLibrary = self.passLibrary.passes(of: .secureElement) paymentPassLibrary is an empty array even though we have passes provisioned.

We have been using ApplePay on the web for years, but we are running into a problem since today in sandbox where domainName is missing from the create payment sessions request. We haven't changed anything related to this request any time recently. Static payment sessions url being hit in sandbox: https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession request format: "merchantIdentifier": "merchant.com.identifier", "displayName": "Test Store", "initiative": "web", "initiativeContext": "test.example.com", "domainName": "test.example.com" response format: { "epochTimestamp": 1763533367972, "expiresAt": 1763536967972, "merchantSessionIdentifier": "<merchantSessionIdentifier>", "nonce": "<nonce>", "merchantIdentifier": "<merchantIdentifier>", "displayName": "Test Store", "signature": "<signature>", "initiative": "web", "initiativeContext": "test.example.com", "signedFields": [ "merchantIdentifier", "merchantSessionIdentifier", "initiative", "initiativeContext", "displayName", "nonce" ], "operationalAnalyticsIdentifier": "Test Store:<identifier>", "retries": 0, "pspId": "<pspId>" } Production create session request to https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession is behaving as expected, sending the following fields as response: epochTimestamp, expiresAt, merchantSessionIdentifier, nonce, merchantIdentifier, domainName, displayName, signature, operationalAnalyticsIdentifier, retries, pspId Claude seems to suggest this is a response when Messages for Business is enabled, but this ApplePay Payment Processing merchant is only configured for Apple Pay on the Web. Any ideas or pointers to check for? We are worried this will spill over in production as well, which will break our ApplePay integration. Thanks in advance!
