Apple Pay Test cards not added to Wallet
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

Why is the Apple Wallet Url Verification different between the ios18 and ios26
Basic information: The issuer has implemented the feature to active Apple Card via URL Verification. The feature implemented by issuer is supported both in the APP and Clips. When Apple queries the activation method from UnionPay, UnionPay returns the "URL" activation method to Apple. Additionally, the apple-app-site-association file has been correctly deployed, and the configuration for Universal Links has been completed. Both the APP and Clips have undergone testing for Universal Link calls. The desired experiece is that when the APP is installed, Apple Wallet launches the APP, and the user completes the activation within the APP, and if the APP is not installed, Apple Wallet calls Clips, and the user completes the activation in Clips. Problem description: Under iOS 17 and iOS 18, when triggering Apple Pay card activation, the APP or Clips can be called as expected, and the activation can be completed well. However, Under iOS 26, regardless of whether the APP is installed, under the same circumstances, an internal browser within Apple Wallet opens to access the H5 page corresponding to the URL, instead of redirecting to the APP or Clips. Please assist in confirming whether this is a new feature of iOS 26 and how the same user experience can be achieved.

ApplePayRecurringPaymentRequest Query
Hi , This is regarding the ApplePayRecurringPayment Request and Apple Pay on Web functionality. Does Apple Pay on web providing functionality that collects payments from the stored credit card issuer bank (or) it only provides secured wallet functionality that provides a token which then has to be utilized to send a seperate payment request through a third party payment gateway to collect the payments from the credit card issuer bank. thanks

Determining which Apple Pay token is completing activation when issuer app is launched from Wallet
Hi, we are implementing ID&V and there is a requirement regarding the flow for Apple Pay. In order to clarify the case I will describe the use case scenario or steps to reproduce first: add a card to the iPhone wallet app (yellow path verification required). Do not complete the ID&V process. add a card to the Watch via the Wallet inside the iPhone Watch app (yellow path verification required). Same as before, do not complete the ID&V complete ID&V process using the Issuer App either from iPhone or Watch. the Issuer app receives the application:openURL:options: callback on its AppDelegate. In the options dictionary, we can not see the UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsSourceApplicationKey populated (it is nil). At this moment, for the card we are adding there are now two tokens, both to be verified via ID&V process. One is on the iPhone and one is on the Apple Watch associated with the same iPhone. The url received at step 4 contains the serial number which identifies the digitized card and matches with both the tokens in the iPhone and in the Apple Watch. We need something to detect programmatically if the digitization process started from the iPhone Wallet app or from the wallet inside the Watch app. Could you please help us to identify how we could discriminate if the ID&V process has been started for the iPhone token or for the Apple Watch token? Thanks

Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate - renewal problems
We are having trouble trying to renew our Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate. We can create the CSR file and add to the developer portal. We then convert this to a .pem and then a .p12. When we test the certificate in Postman however, we see the following error: "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception pspId=xxxx unauthorized to process transactions on behalf of merchantId=xxxx reason=xxxx is not a registered merchant in WWDR and isn't properly authorized via Mass Enablement, either.", "statusCode": "417" We are sending the following POST request to 'https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession': {"merchantIdentifier": "merchant.com.xxxx.applepaytest", "domainName": "beta-xxxx.com", "displayName": "beta-xxxx.com"} Anyone got any ideas what the issue may be? In the meantime I will look at completing our domain verification as that is also due soon and we thought it may possibly have something to do with the certificate issues we are seeing.

Unable to enable Apple Pay for App Clip – “relationship 'undefined'” error when adding capability
Hey everyone, hoping someone here has run into this before. I have a fully functional App Clip (com.didyoucatchit.app.Clip) linked to my main app (com.didyoucatchit.app). The Clip builds and runs perfectly, but I’m seeing issues trying to enable Apple Pay for it. When I try to link my Merchant ID under the “On Demand Install Capable” capability in the Apple Developer portal, I get this error: A relationship in the provided entity is not allowed for this request. The relationship 'undefined' can not be included in a 'bundleIdCapabilities' request. Here’s what I have already configured and confirmed: App Clip capabilities in Xcode include: Apple Pay Payment Processing Associated Domains (appclips:app.didyoucatchit.com) Provisioning profile includes: Apple Pay Payment Processing Associated Domains In-App Purchase On-Demand Install Capable Entitlements file for the Clip: <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key> <array> <string>appclips:app.didyoucatchit.com</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.in-app-payments</key> <array> <string>merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers</key> <array> <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.didyoucatchit.app</string> </array> Merchant ID (merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app) is active and connected to Stripe Stripe Apple Pay configuration matches the same merchant ID and certificate Both provisioning profiles have been refreshed and downloaded However: The portal still throws the “relationship 'undefined'” error anytime I try to modify the Clip’s capabilities In testing, Apple Pay doesn’t show up as a payment option in the Clip (using Stripe’s Payment Element integration) Questions: Is this a known issue with the Developer portal when linking App Clips to merchant IDs? Is there a specific way to re-establish the parent–child relationship between the main app and the App Clip so the bundleIdCapabilities request includes the proper relationship JSON? Are there any additional configuration steps required when using Stripe for Apple Pay inside an App Clip? System Setup: Xcode: 16.2 (build 16C5032a) macOS: Sequoia 15.3.1 iOS: 18.5 (testing on physical device) Merchant ID: merchant.com.didyoucatchit.app Main App ID: com.didyoucatchit.app App Clip ID: com.didyoucatchit.app.Clip Any help or insight would be hugely appreciated Thanks in advance!

Issue with Top-Up Flow on iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 18.6.2) in TestFlight
Hi Apple Team and Developers, I’ve been testing the Top-up flow in our app via the TestFlight environment. Across multiple devices (around 10 tested), everything works fine with no issues. However, on one specific device — iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 18.6.2 — I’ve noticed an intermittent issue: When performing a Top-up, the Apple UI first shows a successful purchase confirmation. Immediately afterward, another UI prompt appears asking the player to re-enter their Apple ID password. At the same time, Apple returns a ghost string that we cannot use to verify the user’s package bundle ID. This creates potential confusion for users, as they see both a success confirmation and an unexpected password prompt. I’m unsure if this behavior is expected or if there’s a recommended way to handle or prevent this issue. Has anyone else encountered something similar, or does Apple have a suggested fix/workaround for this? For reference, here’s a short video of the issue in action: \🔗 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ml-QpEu4ocoxn-W3wEMsFMbXy2QdwbHB/view?usp=sharing Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support!

Apple Pay 3dSecure Version for Mastercard
We have finished integrating Apple Pay in our app and our payment processor is requiring us to send the 3dSecure version used for apple pay (2.1,2.2,2.3,etc.). I believe this only applies to mastercard but would appreciate if anyone has run into something similar and what you specified. I have not been able to find anything in Apple's documentation specifying the version that is used.

Question Regarding API Access Restrictions for Non-Published (STG) iOS Apps
We have been informed by a third-party subscription tracking service(Adjust) that, due to the following specification of App Store Connect, it is not possible to connect an STG app (a non-published testing app) with their server: Specification: Since Apple’s API only allows access for apps that are already published, it is not possible to enable subscription tracking for iOS apps that are not yet published. Could you please confirm if our understanding of this specification is correct? Additionally, is there any method or recommended approach to verify subscription tracking behavior with an STG (non-published) app before the app is released? Thank you very much for your support.

Apple Pay integration in our app
Hi, We have app in which we take donations from people and send to non-profit organisations. I have read that Apple Pay can be integrated on non profit platforms to take donations, but we are middle man, we are not non profit .. we take donations, cut our platform fees and then sent to donations to non profit orgs. My question is can we integrate Apple Pay in our iOS app to take donations from apple? as we have integrated Apple Pay on the web.

Apple Pay pre-auth: how to not show hold amount (gas-station style) for usage-based rentals?
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.

Implementing multiple payment gateways on same domain
Hi Everyone, My team is working on an online marketplace for FMBs in Saudi Arabia (with a plan to expand to other markets later). We are currently working on integrating multiple payment gateways with embedded Apple Pay support into our platform. We’ve encountered an issue with the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file. Based on advice from one of our payment partners, we've ensured that the domain association file is uploaded in the correct format. This works successfully with our first payment gateway. However, for the additional payment gateways we are integrating, we would also like to enable Apple Pay with embedded support. The challenge is that each payment gateway requires its own domain verification, but the verification file uses the same file name. This prevents us from supporting multiple gateways on the same domain. Has anyone in the house been able to implement a similar solution, or know how we can best implement this? Please, I'll appreciate advise on how we can configure Apple Pay domain verification to support multiple payment gateways on the same domain? Any specific guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Best regards,

Inquiry regarding the domain, when the two companies merge
'Company A' is scheduled to merge with its parent company, 'Company B'. Both A and B have Apple accounts. A's account has one domain registered for Apple Pay integration, while Account B has no domain registered. We attempted to register A’s domain under B’s account. However, the notification 'Requested domain name has been verified previously.' appeared, and we could not complete the registration. Please confirm whether it is correct that a domain already registered under Account A cannot be registered again under Account B. If we cannot register same domain in two accounts, we believe that the domain registered under A's account must be deleted first and then registered under B's account. In that case, will payments become unavailable immediately upon deletion of the domain, or will payments still be possible for a certain period of time after deletion? In our testing, we found that payments were not blocked immediately, but we would like to confirm further. We are concerned about the possibility of transaction failures during the short period between deleting the domain from A's Account and registering it under B's Account.

Adding a previous card to Apple Wallet and Express Travel Enabled
We are working with a large fintech org on project connected with provisioning payment cards to Apple Wallet. When we add a previously provisioned card to the Wallet (using the Wallet UI, Add card -> Previous card). It adds the card on one device showing the Express Travel card screen after the card is added allowing the user to set the card as an express travel card during the provisioning flow but never on our other devices. All of the test devices are clean and have only the same single card provisioned. What triggers the Express Travel Card screen to be shown during the add previous card flow? (Why is it showing on one device and not another).

iOS Subscriptions in Russia – Is Apple In-App Purchase mandatory or can local providers be used?
Hello, We are working on integrating billing into our dating app, targeted at the Russian market. Our main requirement is to support subscriptions with automatic renewal and cancellation. We understand that, according to App Store Review Guideline, all digital subscriptions should use Apple In-App Purchase (IAP). However, we are unsure how this applies in Russia, where some local regulations may limit the use of non-Russian payment processors, and where not all Russian bank cards are accepted by Apple. Our question is: -For iOS apps in Russia, is it strictly required to use Apple IAP for subscriptions? -Are there any approved exceptions allowing integration with local processors such as Robokassa or YooKassa? -How are other developers currently handling subscriptions for the Russian market? We want to ensure full compliance and avoid any risk of rejection or removal. Thank you in advance for any clarification. Best regards, Dan

Apple Pay fractional amounts for RSD
Hello all, I’m helping a customer integrate Apple Pay, and I’m seeing a behavior I can’t fully explain. I hope someone here can help clarify whether this is expected or whether it’s a bug / misconfiguration on my side. Currency: RSD (Serbian Dinar) Amount: 3.45 RSD (two decimals) Result: Apple Pay cancels the payment automatically when the amount includes decimals, without even displaying the paymentsheet. Things I have checked: ISO 4217 defines RSD with 2 minor units, so fractional amounts like 3.45 should be valid. Processors treat RSD as a two-decimal currency. Apple’s documentation does not provide a per-currency decimal rule table. In testing, whole-number RSD amounts succeed, while fractional amounts (e.g. 3.45 RSD) fail. I did not encounter this problem with other currencies like EUR, USD. Has anyone encountered this issue before?
