Hi,
You're here because you've had issues with your implementation of Wallet Extensions for Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification. To prevent sending sensitive credentials in plain text, create a new report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested below with the appropriate log profiles installed.
Gathering Required Information for Troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification Issues
While troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification, it is essential that the issuer is able to collect logs on their device and check those logs for error message. This is also essential when reporting issues to Apple. To gather the required data for your own debugging as well as reporting issues, please perform the following steps on the test device:
Install the Apple Pay and Wallet profiles on your iOS or watchOS device. If the issue occurs on Mac, continue to Step 2.
Reproduce the issue and make a note of the timestamp when the issue occurred, while optionally capturing screenshots or video.
Gather a sysdiagnose on the same iOS or watchOS device, or on macOS.
Create a Feedback Assistant report with the following information:
The bundle IDs
App bundle ID
Non-UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable)
UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable)
The serial number of the device.
For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > Serial Number (tap and hold to copy).
For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > Serial Number.
The SEID (Secure Element Identifier) of the device, represented as a HEX encoded string.
For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > SEID (tap and hold to copy).
For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > System Report > NVMExpress > Serial Number.
The sysdiagnose gathered after reproducing the issue.
The timestamp (including timezone) of when the issue was reproduced.
The type of provisioning failure (e.g., error at Terms & Conditions, error when adding a card, etc.)
The issuer/network/country of the provisioned card (e.g., Mastercard – US)
Last 4 digits of the FPAN
Last 4 digits of the DPAN (if available)
Was this test initiated from the Issuer App? (e.g., yes or no)
The type of environment (e.g., sandbox or production)
Screenshots or videos of errors and unexpected behaviors (optional).
Important: From the logs gathered above, you should be able to determine the cause of the failure from PassbookUIService, PassKit or PassKitCore, and by filtering for your SEID or bundle ID of your app or app extensions in the Console app.
Submitting your feedback
Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the requested information above is included in your feedback. Failure to provide the requested information will only delay my investigation into the reported issue within your Apple Pay client.
After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond in your existing Developer Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your client, a configuration issue within your developer account, or an underlying system bug.

iOS 16 and earlier
On iOS 16 and earlier, Apple Pay on the Web required Safari—and all interactions with the Apple Pay API to come from the parent/top level page. In order to facilitate the Apple Pay button in an HTML inline frame (iframe), there will need to be cross frame communication between the child and parent pages. Cross frame communication should be secure and robust, therefore the use of postMessage for this purpose is recommended.
The expectation is for all communication with Apple Pay to occur from the parent page, so the iframe must relay all Apple Pay related events to the parent to handle. Some examples:
Apple Pay availability: The parent calls applePayCapabilities, then sends the message of the response to the iframe, which then uses the value to toggle the visibility of the Apple Pay button.
Apple Pay session: The iframe receives an onclick() event when the Apple Pay button is clicked and sends the message to the parent (providing details about the transaction). The parent create the payment request to obtain the session validation URL, and eventually receive session credentials and invokes completeMerchantValidation() to prevent the payment sheet. After the payment is authorized by the Payment Service Provider (PSP), the parent either:
Redirects the parent page to a payment success page; or
Sends a message to the iframe to complete the transaction flow itself.
iOS 17 and later
On IOS 17 and later, the iframe HTML element should include the allow="payment" attribute, which should facilitate the cross frame communications instead of needing a dedicated JavaScript library. This means all of the Apple Pay code/calls can reside in the iframe page—which is typically a hosted page from a Payment Service Provider (PSP), all the parent page—typically a merchant—has to do is add the attribute mentioned above to the iframe element.
Important: Regardless of the iOS version, the PSP/merchant always needs to make sure the parent page domain is the one registered in the Developer portal, and used in the request to generate a merchant session via ApplePaySession.

Hello, I'm trying to make changes to my website's apple pay flow and an unable to verify if the flow works because I get the following error in the console when trying to pay:
TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'applePaySession.completeMerchantValidation')
By following this error message, I try to setup an ngrok proxy to verify my local development domain and that fails as well even though as you can see, the file does actually exist.
Can anyone help with A) giving me a different way to develop locally aka having a "successful" apple pay payment so I can verify my website's flow after payment or B) help me figure out why the domain verification is failing. Thanks!
Recently, we completed a merger with our parent company.
We are currently integrated with Apple Pay in accordance with the “Apple Pay Payment Processing on the Web” guidelines.
Due to the change in the legal entity, we proceeded with the account migration process as outlined below:
Creation of a new Apple Developer account and a new Apple Pay Identifier
Removal of the Merchant Domain (dc2-web.happy.co.kr) from the existing Identifier
Registration of the Merchant Domain (dc2-web.happy.co.kr) under the new Identifier
Using the Merchant Domain registered under the new Identifier and the Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate issued from the new Identifier, we attempted to obtain an Apple Pay session by sending requests to the following endpoint:
https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession
However, we are intermittently receiving failure responses with an HTTP 400 status code.
With regard to these intermittent failures, we would like to inquire whether there is any propagation delay on Apple’s servers when an Apple Pay Identifier is removed and re-registered under a new account, or if there could be any other possible causes for this behavior.
We would appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Hello,
Apologies if this has been asked before but I have a website that takes subscriptions and payments through PayPal. It's a platform where authors can sell ebooks and anyone who purchaes an ebook, the money goes pretty much directly from the buyer's PayPal to the seller PayPal through the use of PayPal Multiparty where my platform acts as a third party that takes a fee.
I'm currently building a React-Native app for my website and coming close to needing to integrate payment solutions. As far as I'm aware, Apple only allows Apple Pay payments for IAP and subscriptions? How would this work for my model? Can I integrate PayPal into Apple Pay like I do with my website? If not, what's the alternative?
Hi everyone,
I have a question regarding App Store approval. In my country, Apple In-App Purchases are not supported, so for users in unsupported regions we need to use a third-party payment provider. For countries where In-App Purchases are supported, we plan to use Apple IAP.
Could you please advise on the correct approach to ensure the app complies with App Store guidelines and can be approved?

Two subscriptions, Plus and Max, are under the same subscription group, with Max having a higher tier than Plus. Promotional Offers for Max are configured in Apple Store Connect.
When a user subscribes to Plus and then upgrades to Max using Promotional Offers, they are prompted with "Upgrade upon expiration" (Figure 1); if they don't use Promotional Offers, they are prompted to "Upgrade immediately" (Figure 2).
Question 1: What is the situation with the "upgrade upon expiration" message in Figure 1? Is upgrading using Promotional Offers special? I couldn't find any relevant explanation in Apple's technical documentation.
Question 2: Figure 1 shows an "upgrade upon expiration," but after subscribing, the webhook still shows the subscription start time as the current time, meaning the upgrade hasn't started immediately. Is the message incorrect?
We are a regulated financial institution and Apple Pay issuer seeking clarification on the in-app push provisioning requirement and the January 15, 2026 timeline.
Like many community financial institutions:
Our mobile banking app is issuer-branded but provided by a third-party vendor
Apple Pay enablement and tokenization are handled by a separate card processor
While we support Apple’s goals and understand the issuer is ultimately responsible, delivery of in-app provisioning is dependent on third-party vendor roadmaps and cross-vendor integrations that are outside our direct control. Despite active, good-faith efforts with both vendors, current platform constraints make the January 15, 2026 deadline challenging.
We would appreciate clarification on:
How Apple evaluates compliance when an issuer’s mobile app is built and maintained by a third party
Whether any transitional flexibility or phased enforcement is expected for issuers showing documented progress
Whether approved web-based provisioning may be acceptable as an interim option
How issuers should document due diligence when vendor dependencies delay implementation
Additional guidance would help many credit unions and community banks plan appropriately and remain compliant.
Thank you for your guidance.

During Apple Pay in-app provisioning (EV_ECC_v2), our iOS app successfully obtains the issuer provisioning certificates and generates cryptographic material. The flow fails when Apple posts the card blob to Apple’s broker (card creation step), returning HTTP 500 from .../broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards.
Steps:
Call issuerProvisioningCertificates?encryptionVersion=EV_ECC_v2
→ 200 OK; returns ECC leaf + Apple Root CA chain; nonce=2a831be4.
2. Build {encryptedCardData, activationData, ephemeralPublicKey}
3. POST /broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards
Expected: 200 OK on /broker/v4/devices/{SEID}/cards, or 5xx with a descriptive error if payload/cryptography is invalid.
Observed: 500 Internal Server Error from Apple broker on /cards (labeled “eligibility” in PassKit logs), causing a terminal failure in Wallet UI.
Bank Accounts details are outdated and status is stack on processing with error: "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then."
This is now stack for a few years since we activated a previous Apple developer account. we must change banking details as it holds up development of an app with in-app purchases.

For Apple Pay Testing purposes, we're trying out cards from https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing/
Visa, AMEX, Discover cards can be added to the wallet.
But all 5 of the listed options for Mastercard cannot be added to the wallet with the error "Card Device Limit".
How can we resolve this?

Hello,
I’m experiencing a strange issue with a newly created Subscription Group in my iOS app.
For all my existing subscription groups, everything works perfectly — initial purchase, renewals, cancellations, all notifications arrive normally.
But for this one newly created group, the first purchase never triggers any server notification from App Store Server Notifications (ASSN).
⸻
📘 Problem Summary
• I created a new Subscription Group in App Store Connect.
• The products are all Approved and Published for over a week.
• Users can successfully purchase the subscription in production.
• The purchase is shown as Purchased in the App Store purchase UI.
• The receipt can be fetched locally on device.
• But my server receives no notifications, including:
• DID_RENEW
• DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS
• SUBSCRIBED
• ONE_TIME_CHARGE
• CONSUMPTION_REQUEST
• etc.
The old subscription groups still send notifications normally, so the notification URL and server infrastructure are correct.
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.
Our company sells insurance and we'd like to offer annual renewals via Apple Pay on the Web. Most of the docs seem to point towards using recurringpaymentrequest but this method required an amount value which would only be calculated at renewal time.
It appears that Shopify is doing something akin to what we want where they do auto payments so my question is can we do annual payments with unknown renewal prices with Apple Pay for Web ?
What we cannot do is show the renewal price like this as it being insurance is almost certain to change.
This is our current code which works but won't get past the regulator.
const applePayPaymentRequestAnnual = {
countryCode: 'GB',
currencyCode: 'GBP',
supportedNetworks: ['visa', 'masterCard'],
merchantCapabilities: ['supports3DS'],

I'm seeking clarification on how Requirement 4.1 ("Card Issuers with a Mobile App must support In-App provisioning") applies when the card issuer uses a third-party mobile banking platform rather than a self-developed app.
Our situation:
We are a small credit union (the card issuer)
Our mobile banking app is provided by a third-party digital banking vendor (white-label, but branded with our name)
Card processing is handled by a separate vendor
The ambiguity:
The Apple Pay Specifications define "Card Issuer Mobile App" as:
"The Card Issuer-branded, iOS software application made available on a Device that is used by such Card Issuer's customers to manage, administer, or use Cards."
Our mobile banking app meets this definition—it's branded with our name and used by our members to manage their accounts and cards. However, we don't develop or directly control the app; our digital banking vendor does.
The webinar FAQ stated: "Do we have to implement in-app provisioning? Yes, if you have an app."
Our digital banking vendor interprets this as not applying to them because they are "not the issuer." They've stated: "Apple's requirements are at the card-processor level... our credit unions and, by extension, we are not required to support Apple Pay's in-app provisioning."
Our card processor has indicated they will support in-app provisioning integrations but notes "this would be digital provisioning and we would need the digital banking vendor to work with us to enable."
Specific questions:
When a card issuer uses a third-party mobile banking app (branded for the issuer but developed/maintained by a vendor), does Requirement 4.1 apply?
If yes, who bears compliance responsibility—the issuer, the mobile app vendor, or both?
If the mobile app vendor does not implement in-app provisioning by January 15, 2026, what is the issuer's exposure? Does the issuer face suspension from the Program due to vendor non-compliance?
Is there an alternative compliance path under Requirement 4.8 (Web Provisioning) for issuers whose mobile app vendors cannot deliver in-app provisioning by the deadline?
This scenario likely affects hundreds of small financial institutions using shared digital banking platforms. Clarity on vendor vs. issuer responsibility would help the entire ecosystem prepare appropriately.
Thank you.

Cybersource production support has clarified issue as below
"On the BAD Case, it seems that the Apple Payload did not contain the "onlinePaymentCryptogram" object within the JSON. The Cryptogram is critical and mandatory.
Since the merchant cannot really control this, and since CYBS is just decrypting the payload and uses it, we cannot comment as to why it was missing.
The merchant would need to reach out to Apple and/or decrypt the payment themselves locally to check if and why this data was not present, for troubleshooting purposes."

Dear Apple Developer Support,
I would like to request a technical escalation to the engineering team regarding an ongoing issue with Apple Pay domain verification.
Error returned by Apple
Even though Apple’s request to our domain returns HTTP 200, the verification still fails with:
resultCode: 13014
resultString: "Domain verification failed. Review your TLS Certificate configuration to confirm that the certificate is accessible and a supported TLS Cipher Suite is used."
requestUrl: https://developer.apple.com/services-account/QH65B2/account/ios/identifiers/verifyDomain
TLS Certificate Validation
We performed a full TLS analysis:
Certificate issued by Sectigo Public Server Authentication CA DV E36 (public trusted CA)
Full and correct certificate chain
No handshake errors
Configuration fully valid
SSL Labs rating: A
From our side, the TLS configuration is confirmed to be correct.
Accessibility of the .well-known file
The file is publicly and accessible
It returns 200 OK and the content is exactly identical to the file downloaded from the Apple Developer Portal, without any modification.
Our network team confirmed that Apple’s verification request also receives HTTP 200 when pressing “Verify” in the Apple Developer Console.
Network-side findings
We monitored Apple’s request in real time. Findings:
TLS handshake succeeds
No cipher mismatch
File delivered correctly
Status: 200 OK
No redirect or transformation applied
Despite this, Apple still returns error 13014.
Request for engineering review
We kindly request that an Apple engineer verify the following:
The actual TLS handshake performed by Apple's verification service (cipher suite, protocol negotiation, SNI, trust chain).
Whether the Sectigo issuing CA is fully trusted and supported by your domain-verification backend.
If there is an internal reason behind error 13014—since the external message does not provide actionable details.
Whether the response is rejected for reasons other than TLS, given that the file is accessible and the request returns 200.
The exact condition that leads Apple to report “TLS Certificate configuration is incorrect” in this case.
This issue is blocking an urgent deployment and must be resolved as soon as possible.
Existing case reference
Case ID: 102760005987
We are fully available to provide:
full response headers
packet captures (PCAP)
SSL/TLS diagnostics
file integrity checks
server configuration details
or join a technical call (Teams / WebEx)
Thank you in advance for the escalation.
Andrea
