What is Apple Pay and how does it work?
Apple Pay is a payment method that allows easy payments using a card stored in Apple Wallet.
When paying, the payment card details are passed directly from Apple Wallet and the customer does not even have to have the card with them. If they do not have a card stored in Apple Wallet, they will be offered the option of adding a new card at the gateway.
💡 GoPay tip: A payment using Apple Pay is de facto a payment card payment. That is why GoPay's fees for a payment via Apple Pay are the same as the fees for a card payment. Recurring and pre-authorised payments are available in the same way
How do I integrate Apple Pay?
The Apple Pay payment method is tied to the Payment card payment method. You therefore need to have card payments enabled on your e-shop.
Passing the payment method when creating the payment
Apple Pay can be offered in all web browsers, but the payment can only be completed using a supported Apple device with Touch ID or Face ID. If the customer does not own a supported device, they can still complete the payment at the payment gateway by entering the payment card manually.
You will find how to determine which payment methods will be available at the payment gateway in the documentation on creating a payment and on the payer object.
{ "allowed_payment_instruments": ["APPLE_PAY", "PAYMENT_CARD"], "default_payment_instrument": "APPLE_PAY"}
If you do not pass any payment methods when creating the payment and your customers choose it themselves at the payment gateway, Apple Pay is displayed automatically on supported devices when accessed via Safari.
How do I display the Apple Pay payment method correctly?
You will find Apple's official guide to using the Apple Pay logos and names in the Marketing section on Apple's website (in English). You will also find a guide to using the CSS styles available in Safari there.
The recommended logo is available for download in the article Which payment method logos and names should I use?
