Apple Pay is supported both on the web and in iOS apps. In both environments, Apple Pay can be
integrated using the SDK and without the SDK.
Prerequisites
To enable Apple Pay transactions, the system is directly integrated with Apple. As a result,
it transmits decoded device tokens to payment services instead of encrypted gateway tokens.
Please note that not all payment services support decoded Apple Pay tokens, and they
may require this feature to be activated.
Contacting your payment service provider to enable this feature is recommended.
Web (Embed)
On the web, Apple Pay can be easily integrated both with and without Embed. In both offerings, the need to sign up for an Apple Developer account has been removed, reducing additional financial and maintenance costs.
| Using SDK (Embed) | Without SDK |
|---|
| Apple Developer account required? | No | No |
| Apple merchant account required? | No | No |
| Customization & Theming? | Limited | Full |
| Domain association required? | Yes | Yes |
| Integrated with Checkout Flow? | Yes | Optional |
Mobile (iOS)
On mobile apps, Apple Pay can be easily integrated both with and without the SDK. In both offerings, signing up for an Apple Developer account and creating an Apple merchant ID and
processing certificate is required.
| Using SDK | Without SDK |
|---|
| Apple Developer account required? | Yes | Yes |
| Apple merchant account required? | Yes | Yes |
| Customization & Theming? | Limited | Full |
| Domain association required? | No | No |
| Integrated with Checkout Flow? | Yes | Optional |
Recurring payments
Recurring payments are supported on Apple Pay in a similar way to how
recurring payments are supported regular card payments.
To facilitate recurring Apple Pay payments, your payment service provider needs to
support decoded Apple Pay tokens as well as recurring payment flags. Please contact your
payment service provider to enable this feature.
