Apple Pay appears in Stripe Payment Sheet but closes immediately when attempting payment (React Native iOS)
Hi everyone, I’m encountering a strange issue with Apple Pay in our React Native iOS app using the Stripe React Native SDK. Summary of the Problem: • Apple Pay shows up as an available payment method inside the Stripe Payment Sheet. • When I tap Apple Pay, the Apple Pay sheet opens normally. • After confirming payment, the Apple Pay sheet immediately closes, and nothing happens. • No payment is created and no request reaches Stripe’s servers. On Stripe Dashboard the PaymentIntent remains incomplete, with no errors, which means the failure happens before Stripe receives anything. Environment • React Native with @stripe/stripe-react-native • StripeProvider configured with: <StripeProvider publishableKey={...} merchantIdentifier="merchant.com.app.venga" stripeAccountId={...} urlScheme="venga" > Apple Pay works on our web checkout with the same merchant identifier. We have verified all of the required Apple Pay setup: • Merchant ID exists, active, and matches exactly. • Merchant ID added to the iOS app target in Xcode → Signing & Capabilities. • Apple Pay capability enabled. • Merchant domain is verified (web checkout works). • Apple Pay certificate and merchant certificate are valid. • Stripe publishable key and merchantIdentifier are correct. • Stripe SDK correctly initialized. • Device region supports Apple Pay. Extra Observations: • The PaymentIntent’s allowed_payment_methods includes "card" and Apple Pay does appear in the payment sheet. • But after tapping Pay → the Apple Pay sheet closes instantly. • There is no callback with an error, and nothing appears in Stripe logs. • We are testing in Sweden. As far as I know Apple Pay should work fine here. Questions: What could cause the Apple Pay sheet to dismiss instantly after attempting a payment? Could this be caused by a merchant ID mismatch—even if Apple Pay appears in the sheet? Is there any Apple-device-level requirement (region, wallet config, card type) that could cause this silent failure? Is there a way to get more detailed logs when Apple Pay closes before Stripe receives anything? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
