Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with the Apple Pay capability on my App ID.
I have created a Merchant ID.
I enabled Apple Pay in the App ID configuration and linked it to the merchant.
However, sometimes when I revisit the App ID in the Apple Developer portal, the Apple Pay capability appears disabled, even though I saved it.
This happens intermittently; at some times the capability is correctly shown as enabled, and other times it disappears.
Context:
I am using Expo Managed Workflow with EAS Build for iOS.
The issue prevents the provisioning profile from including Apple Pay, which causes Stripe isPlatformPaySupported function to return false on ios devices.
Attached:
Screenshots of the App ID page showing Apple Pay enabled and disabled.
Could you please advise why the capability is not being consistently saved, and how to ensure it stays enabled?
Thank you,
Apple Pay

When integrating the Wallet Extension, after clicking my app icon from the "From Apps on Your iPhone" list, I encountered the message: "Cannot Add Card. 'XXX' is not responding. Wait a few minutes and try again. If the problem continues, contact the card issuer's customer service" instead of the configured login page appearing as expected.
What could be causing this issue, and how should I resolve it?
all mastercard cards expired in 2024

Hello everyone, I have a small error 23. I wanted to know if you also already have this error so in the simulator it works, I have no error, but once I do in the TestFlight I have the error that appears error 23, can anyone help me on this? Thanks a lot.
Hello, we re developing a loyalty platform for end users and as such emit Apple wallet store cards. Problem we're facing is that the HTTP POST /v1/devices/:deviceLibraryIdentifier/registrations/:passTypeIdentifier/:serialNumber in some cases doesn't come through and we have no idea why.
This only happens to a small percentage of customers, others work just fine.
Does anyone have an idea why this might happen? I believe our setup is correct when 90% of customers work and we receive these HTTP requests to our server.
We are trying to develop a coupon/offer code module where our app users can avail a free trail offer for 2 months period after applying the code. We already had a subscription module with monthly & yearly subscriptions with 7 day free trial period. Now, we want to implement a offer/coupon module, where, a user can either select monthly or yearly subscription, and upon entering the offer/coupon code, they will get 2 months free trial (or) a discount on the chosen subscription. (this will overwrite the existing 7 day free trial).
We are confused on choosing the type of “offer/coupon” from AppStore connect. In App Store connect, we have introductory offers, promotional offer & Offer codes. Based on our requirements, we have done research and found that we cannot implement the offer code & promotional codes in the develop environment as there is no possibility to test in Sandbox environment. We observed that we need to push the app to App store and upon approval, we need to implement “offer/coupon” module.
Can some one please suggest or guide us on choosing the best solution for our requirement?
Thanks in advance.

I'm successfully using Apple subscriptions in my app, but I'm encountering SKErrorCodeDomain error 18 when trying to apply a subscription offer.
I want apply offer code first time only for subscription. Below are details of what i set in appstore and what i have tested.
Subscription Offer Details
Offer Type: For the first month
Customer Eligibility: New, Existing, and Expired Subscribers
Code Status: Active
Offer Code Creation Steps:
App Store Connect → App → Subscription → Select Subscription Product → Offer Codes → Add → Add Custom Codes
Signature Generation for Promotional Offers
I'm following Apple's documentation to generate a signature:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/generating-a-signature-for-promotional-offers
I’ve constructed the payload as instructed:
appBundleId + '\u2063' + keyIdentifier + '\u2063' + productIdentifier + '\u2063' + offerIdentifier + '\u2063' + appAccountToken + '\u2063' + nonce + '\u2063' + timestamp
Keys and Identifiers
keyIdentifier, issuerId, and .p8 file are obtained from:
App Store Connect → Users and Access → Integrations → In-App Purchase
Test user created under:
App Store Connect → Users and Access → Sandbox → Test Accounts
Logged in with this account on the iPhone
What I’ve Tried
Verified all values used in the payload are correct
Tried both seconds and milliseconds for the timestamp (as per documentation, it should be in milliseconds)
Tried setting appAccountToken to:
a valid UUID
an empty string
not setting it at all
Used Apple’s sample code to generate a signature: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/generating-a-promotional-offer-signature-on-the-server
Verified the generated signature locally, and it validated successfully: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/generating-a-signature-for-promotional-offers#Validate-locally-and-encode-the-signature

and then base-64 encodes it to create the string that you will use in StoreKit.
*/
const signature = cryptoSign.sign('base64');
/*
Check that the signature passes verification by using the ec-key library.
The verification process is similar to creating the signature, except it uses 'createVerify'
instead of 'createSign', and after updating it with the payload, it uses `verify` to pass in
the signature and encoding, instead of `sign` to get the signature.
This step is not required, but it's useful to check when implementing your signature code.
This helps debug issues with signing before sending transactions to Apple.
If verification succeeds, the next recommended testing step is attempting a purchase
in the Sandbox environment.

We have a checkout page on which clients can configure the providers we've integrated with for each currency.
One such provider is Stripe, with which we have already integrated ApplePay and host a merchant domain association file.
Now, we're getting requests to support ApplePay with other providers.
The issue is that we can't tell Apple to use a different path to domain association file for domain verification.
And, replacing the existing domain association file seems like a hack, since I believe it's needed for domain re-verification.
We're thinking of using subdomains for serving the domain association files for different providers.
But, we have some questions on how ApplePay domain verification works to understand how we can solve our problem.
Firstly, can we use subdomains for individual domain verification? If we already have example.com verified with Stripe, can we serve the domain association file for the other provider with provider.example.com and have the verification work?
Secondly, let's say our domain is example.com, and we can use provider.example.com to serve the domain association file and verify the domain. Then on example.com/checkout, will using an iframe with provider.example.com/applepay to host the ApplePay button work?
This thread suggests otherwise, but we want to confirm.
Lastly, is the only way to make an ApplePay payment for provider.example.com to use that subdomain? So redirecting to provider.example.com/applepay would work?
Thanks for your help!
I'm trying to create an Apple Pay session for my website. I'm starting with curl for now, just to get proof of concept.
curl --cert cert.pem --pass {passphrase} --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"merchantIdentifier":"{merchantIdentifier}","displayName":"testDisplayName", "initiative": "web", "initiativeContext": "{domain}"}' https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession
This is the response I get back
{
"statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception merchantId={VERY-LONG-ID} not registered for domain={domain}",
"statusCode": "400"
}
I'm not sure why this is happening. {domain} is in the form of sub.site.tld with no protocol, such as https, which matches what I see in the list of the domains in the merchant identity dashboard. The {merchantIdentifier} also matches what I see in the top right, but the merchantId in the response is something I don't recognize. It's a long string of characters that appears to be hexadecimal.
I added the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file to my .well-known directory and the dashboard does report that the domain is verified.
I am making the request from the web server that the domain resolves to, if that matters.
I can't think of any reason this would be happening.
I'm not sure where the long merchantId in the response is coming from. Does it matter that it doesn't match what I supplied in the request? As far as I can tell, I am using the correct merchantIdentifier. It matches the dashboard and the CN field of the certificate.
I found this other post that seems to have a similar error: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671227
The main difference is a 417 status code instead of the 400 I got. But the problem here was that there was no payment processing certificate and I do have one of those.
I haven't checked with my processor to verify that the certificate is published, but I will do that soon. I wouldn't expect that to matter. Maybe it does?
What other reason could I be getting this error?
Could it be a problem with my merchant identity certificate? It took a lot of effort to make it work. But I suspect it's fine, otherwise I wouldn't be getting a response from Apple at all. I can't think of any other possible problems.
We’ve an implementation of apple pay with asia pay as gateway .
We want to access that from external iframe . although we’ve been able to load the apple pay widget not able to validate merchant and tokenize in iframe.
Please let us know if apple pay with asia pay is available to be used within iframe.
Hi Support,
When the applepay express transit option is used on emv payment cards,
like this
iPhone - Open “Settings” → “Wallet & Apple Pay” → “Express Transit Card”.
And a emv single card has been enabled under Express Transit
And on transit reader Apple Enhanced contactless Polling support is provided, ( with VAS not supported, user authentciation not supported)
Sometimes ATQB response also comes from the iPhone or iWatch instead of the ATQA response, and then it causes the transit reader to report as collision error in the polling.
Sequence of the packets:
WUPA
WUPB
ECP frame
WUPA

When apple pay on the web does a onshippingcontactselected it appears to truncate the zip code.
If I enter:

I always get 11111. Is there any way to get the plus 4?
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to integrate apple pay on my website and have followed the following steps.
Created a merchant identifier in my apple developer account.
Generated a payment processing certificate using Certificate signing Request generated through keychain.
Downloaded the certificate and converted that to pem file using the following command
openssl x509 -inform DER -in apple_pay.cer -out apple_pay.pem
Imported the cer file into keychain and exported .p12 file and generated private key using the following command.
openssl pkcs12 -in Certificates.p12 -out private_key.pem -nocerts
Utilizing apple_pay.pem and private_key.pem files for merchant verification call and getting the following response.
cURL Error: OpenSSL SSL_read: error:14094418:SSL routines:ssl3_read_bytes:tlsv1 alert unknown ca, errno 0

Hi support,
Since June 26th 2025 we are experiencing an issue with the ApplePay SSL server certificate installed on our servers in Production environment.
We are facing an exception error during the initializing of a payment session while calling the url:
https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession
The exception is Untrusted Server Certificate Chain:

It seems that the issue occurs randomly: we are experiencing this exception on most of our payment transactions, but there are some cases of users that have correctly paid on our site using this method and in those cases this error did not appear.
We installed the new certificate on our servers on July 3rd 2025 and renewed on Aug 7th 2025.
The new certificate validity is:
Not Before: Aug 6 18:43:52 2025 GMT
Not After : Nov 4 18:08:57 2025 GMT
I must specify that this issue is blocking the correct placement of AppleyPay orders of our customers.
Can you please help us find the problem and a possible solution?

In 05/2024 we received an e-mail from applepayentitlementsapple.com confirming the granting of in-app provisioning entitlements for our production apps.
We've already sent a feedback on Feedback Assistant. Here is the code to track: FB16344669.
Also, we sent another e-mail to applepayentitlementsapple.com, Case-ID: 11317916, but we haven't received a reply yet.
Can you help us? We are concerned, since our pre-certification starts on January 27th.
Thanks in advance.
When running the test app with test flight before actually opening the app, the execution region is Korea and the country code is Korea, but the currency code on the payment screen is displayed as dollars or euros instead of won. In the payment settings, the currency code is set to won for Korea and dollars for the United States, and the European region is not set at all, but in some phones it is displayed as euros, and in some phones it is not like this, and in some cases it is displayed as won normally.
Hi, we are implementing the push provisioning via the Apple Wallet Extension starting from the example at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/passkit/implementing-wallet-extensions.
To correctly manage the push provisioning on Apple Watch, specifically for a card tokenised in the iPhone but not in the Watch, we need to know if there is a connected Apple Watch to the iPhone.
We are using the following code from the Apple Wallet Extension example to detect whether there is a connected watch:
WCSession* session = [WCSession defaultSession];
session.delegate = delegate;
[session activateSession];
In the main target of the app, at the end of the activation the system correctly calls the delegate method:
session:activationDidCompleteWithState:error:
but we noticed it is not being called in the UI extension context (the one having NSExtensionPointIdentifier: com.apple.PassKit.issuer-provisioning.authorization).
We don't understand why the delegate is not being called in the UI extension, can you please help?
Thanks!
Steps to Reproduce:
Start with a card not added in the Apple Wallet app
Open the Apple Wallet app
Click on add card
Select the app to launch the Wallet Extension flow
The Apple Wallet Extension with UI is on screen and invokes the activateSession method, the delegate method is not invoked and session.isPaired returns "no".
