Hi,
You're here because you've had issues with your implementation of In-App Provisioning Extensions for Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification. To prevent sending sensitive credentials in plain text, create a new report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested below with the appropriate log profiles installed.
Gathering Required Information for Troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification Issues
While troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification, it is essential that the issuer is able to collect logs on their device and check those logs for error message. This is also essential when reporting issues to Apple. To gather the required data for your own debugging as well as reporting issues, please perform the following steps on the test device:
Install the Apple Pay and Wallet profiles on your iOS or watchOS device. If the issue occurs on Mac, continue to Step 2.
Reproduce the issue and make a note of the timestamp when the issue occurred, while optionally capturing screenshots or video.
Gather a sysdiagnose on the same iOS or watchOS device, or on macOS.
Create a Feedback Assistant report with the following information:
The bundle IDs
App bundle ID
Non-UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable)
UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable)
The serial number of the device.
For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > Serial Number (tap and hold to copy).
For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > Serial Number.
The SEID (Secure Element Identifier) of the device, represented as a HEX encoded string.
For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > SEID (tap and hold to copy).
For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > System Report > NVMExpress > Serial Number.
The sysdiagnose gathered after reproducing the issue.
The timestamp (including timezone) of when the issue was reproduced.
The type of provisioning failure (e.g., error at Terms & Conditions, error when adding a card, etc.)
The issuer/network/country of the provisioned card (e.g., Mastercard – US)
Last 4 digits of the FPAN
Last 4 digits of the DPAN (if available)
Was this test initiated from the Issuer App? (e.g., yes or no)
The type of environment (e.g., sandbox or production)
Screenshots or videos of errors and unexpected behaviors (optional).
Important: From the logs gathered above, you should be able to determine the cause of the failure from PassbookUIService, PassKit or PassKitCore, and by filtering for your SEID or bundle ID of your app or app extensions in the Console app.
Submitting your feedback
Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the requested information above is included in your feedback. Failure to provide the requested information will only delay my investigation into the reported issue within your Apple Pay client.
After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond in your existing Developer Forums post with the Feedback ID.

iOS 16 and earlier
On iOS 16 and earlier, Apple Pay on the Web required Safari—and all interactions with the Apple Pay API to come from the parent/top level page. In order to facilitate the Apple Pay button in an HTML inline frame (iframe), there will need to be cross frame communication between the child and parent pages. Cross frame communication should be secure and robust, therefore the use of postMessage for this purpose is recommended.
The expectation is for all communication with Apple Pay to occur from the parent page, so the iframe must relay all Apple Pay related events to the parent to handle. Some examples:
Apple Pay availability: The parent calls applePayCapabilities, then sends the message of the response to the iframe, which then uses the value to toggle the visibility of the Apple Pay button.
Apple Pay session: The iframe receives an onclick() event when the Apple Pay button is clicked and sends the message to the parent (providing details about the transaction). The parent create the payment request to obtain the session validation URL, and eventually receive session credentials and invokes completeMerchantValidation() to prevent the payment sheet. After the payment is authorized by the Payment Service Provider (PSP), the parent either:
Redirects the parent page to a payment success page; or
Sends a message to the iframe to complete the transaction flow itself.
iOS 17 and later
On IOS 17 and later, the iframe HTML element should include the allow="payment" attribute, which should facilitate the cross frame communications instead of needing a dedicated JavaScript library. This means all of the Apple Pay code/calls can reside in the iframe page—which is typically a hosted page from a Payment Service Provider (PSP), all the parent page—typically a merchant—has to do is add the attribute mentioned above to the iframe element.
Important: Regardless of the iOS version, the PSP/merchant always needs to make sure the parent page domain is the one registered in the Developer portal, and used in the request to generate a merchant session via ApplePaySession.

We are working with two types of wallet passes. Provisioning works successfully for one pass type via wallet extensions, but the same process is not functioning for the other. For the second pass type, we are able to generate the required data for pull provisioning and send it to Apple. Additionally, in-app push provisioning for this pass type completes without issue. We would appreciate guidance on how to further debug and resolve this provisioning problem.
I am currently working on decrypting Apple Pay tokens with Laravel PHP, and I have encountered a few uncertainties regarding the decryption process and the usage of AES-GCM.
Could you please clarify the following points:
Algorithm Confirmation:
Am I using the correct algorithm for decrypting the data key? Specifically, I am utilizing AES-256-GCM with the algorithm ID "id-aes256-GCM" (2.16.840.1.101.3.4.1.46), as specified in the documentation.
Is this the recommended algorithm for decrypting the Apple Pay token's data key?
Authentication Tag:
In the decryption process, it seems that an authentication tag is required, but I am not sure where to obtain it from. Could you confirm how the authentication tag is generated or provided during the encryption process?
If the tag is part of the token or is transmitted separately, could you clarify where I can retrieve it in order to proceed with the decryption successfully?
IV and Other Parameters:
I am using an initialization vector (IV) of 16 null bytes (00000000000000000000000000000000) as specified in the documentation. Could you confirm that this is correct and aligns with the expected parameters for the AES-GCM decryption?
Are there any other specific parameters or considerations I should be aware of when implementing the decryption of Apple Pay tokens?
GCM vs Other Encryption Modes:
Can you confirm that AES-GCM is the preferred and required encryption mode, or is there any flexibility to use other modes (e.g., AES-CBC) without compromising security?
Your guidance would be greatly appreciated to ensure I am following the correct decryption procedure for Apple Pay tokens.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Is MANUAL_ENTRY mandatory for Apple Pay or may an issuer block it and rely only on PKAddPaymentPass?
We plan to set Manual PAN Entry Allowed = N and accept only issuer push provisioning (PKAddPaymentPass).
Is there any Apple Pay programme rule that obliges us to keep MANUAL_ENTRY enabled?
Will disabling it affect “Participating Issuer” listing?

Hello everyone,
We're implementing Apple Pay on the web and are already live, processing transactions. However, we've noticed that occasionally the onlinePaymentCryptogram returned in the paymentData contains spaces, causing it to be rejected by acquirers.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Team,
We are currently checking out on Apple Pay using ALL and MRU as currencies. We have authorized the payment via Touch ID; however, we are not receiving the onPaymentAuthorized event.
Could you please confirm if Apple Pay supports ALL and MRU currencies? We have confirmed that it works with other currencies.
Thank you!

Bank Accounts details are outdated and status is stack on processing with error: "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then."
This is now stack for a few years since we activated a previous Apple developer account. we must change banking details as it holds up development of an app with in-app purchases.

Hello,
On my website, I have a button to make a payment via Apple Pay. When I click on it, the Touch ID window opens correctly. However, when I place my finger on the Touch ID, I get a payment error.
This issue only occurs in production mode. In sandbox mode, everything works perfectly.
Here is a log file :

Hi,

Hi :) I'm new to app store connect, and I just want to verify what does it take to be able to test subscription for a new app that isn't approved yet using sandbox? Or is this not possible that the app has to be approved first?
More context below:
My app is a new app, I only submitted for review and I linked the subscription from the app’s In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section on the version page when submit it for review. It got rejected for now.
When the app review status is both in-review and rejected, I've tried to test my subscription, where there is a button (like "subscribe"/"become a member") in my app that user can click on, which it calls ios's IAPProvider.startMembershipPurchase, I just get Error: [IAPService] Product not found: [<my_subscription_id>].
I ensured my subscription's product id in app store connect matches with the one in my code.
I can see the "rejected" status both on my app and the subscription.
So can anyone help clarify if the app has to be approved first in order to test subscription? Or am I missing any other setup? Or it might just be my code?
Thanks in advance! Any info is super helpful!
We are developing a native iOS financial application called Tradu: Stocks, Forex, and CFDs (Apple ID: 6473443264), which embeds a WKWebView to render all user-facing logic. All user interactions—including authentication with MFA—occur inside this WKWebView.
To access native functionality, we use postMessage() to communicate between the web and native layers. This approach has worked successfully for biometric authentication, for example.
We are currently integrating Apple Pay In-App Provisioning and have a few questions regarding compliance with the documentation provided by our Issuer Host (Modulr). In the document titled Getting Started with Apple Pay: In-App Provisioning, Verification, Security, and Wallet Extensions (Version 4.0, February 2023), all examples are based on a fully native application.
We’ve managed to integrate most of the In-App Provisioning flow via postMessage() up to the point of passing encryptedData to the Payment View.
Apple Pay button inside WKWebView
In Section 7: Frontend Overview, the user initiates the provisioning by tapping a native PKPaymentButton (SwiftUI example).
In our case, this button is rendered inside the WKWebView, styled according to the Apple Style Guide.
While the document references this approach as a “raw mark text supplement,” is this method acceptable and compliant with Apple’s UX and technical guidelines?
MFA requirement before provisioning
In Section 4: Security Guidelines, it is stated that the user must have passed MFA at least once before starting the provisioning flow.
In our implementation, users must complete MFA on every login (including on recognized devices) before the provisioning UI becomes available.
Even though this is not tied specifically to “unrecognized devices,” is our MFA requirement sufficient to satisfy Section 4.2?
Summary:
Is using a web-rendered Apple Pay button inside WKWebView (instead of a native PKPaymentButton) considered compliant?
Is our MFA enforcement model (required on every login) aligned with the security requirements outlined in Section 4.2 of the Apple Pay In-App Provisioning documentation?
Hi, I’ve been trying to integrate Apple Pay, but for some reason, the payment button is not showing up.
The project is built with Laravel 11 and Vue. I imported the script as follows:
<script crossorigin crossorigin
src="https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/1.latest/apple-pay-sdk.js"
></script>
Then I added the following the steps:
<style>
apple-pay-button {{
--apple-pay-button-width: --apple-pay-button-width: 150px;;
--apple-pay-button-height: --apple-pay-button-height: 30px;;
--apple-pay-button-border-radius: --apple-pay-button-border-radius: 3px;;
--apple-pay-button-padding: --apple-pay-button-padding: 0px 0px;;
--apple-pay-button-box-sizing: border-box;
}
</style>
<apple-pay-button buttonstyle="black" type="plain" locale="en-US"></apple-pay-button>
I followed all the steps from the official Apple Pay demo:
https://applepaydemo.apple.com/
I also configured the Content Security Policy (CSP) to allow all necessary resources. However, when I test my integration, the button doesn’t appear. I’ve checked the console, but there are no errors.
At the same time, I have my certificate imported into the Keychain, and I’ve completed the entire process of creating both the certificate and the private key. However, when I try to validate the session using the certificate and key with Apple’s API, I get an error:
400 The SSL certificate error

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

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).
Cybersource production support has clarified issue as below
"On the BAD Case, it seems that the Apple Payload did not contain the "onlinePaymentCryptogram" object within the JSON. The Cryptogram is critical and mandatory.
Since the merchant cannot really control this, and since CYBS is just decrypting the payload and uses it, we cannot comment as to why it was missing.
The merchant would need to reach out to Apple and/or decrypt the payment themselves locally to check if and why this data was not present, for troubleshooting purposes."
Hello,
We are currently developing an application that uses the Host-based Card Emulation (HCE) entitlement to enable corporate access functionality. With this entitlement, we have successfully established HCE communication and can interact with our access control systems to unlock doors.
Our question is related to improving the user experience:
We would like this access functionality to work without requiring the app to be in the foreground, as this adds friction for users during entry.
Specifically, we would like to know:
Is it possible for our app to coexist with Apple Wallet as the default contactless app, so that:
Our app handles NFC interactions for corporate access (e.g., opening doors).
Apple Wallet remains the default for payments.
If that coexistence is not possible, and our app is set as the default contactless app,
Will the system still need to launch our app into the foreground to complete a transaction (e.g., to emulate the NFC card)?
Or is there a way to trigger HCE responses in the background (e.g., using a background process or service extension)?
Any guidance on how to configure the app for optimal background access behavior, while maintaining compatibility with Wallet, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Recently, we completed a merger with our parent company.
We are currently integrated with Apple Pay in accordance with the “Apple Pay Payment Processing on the Web” guidelines.
Due to the change in the legal entity, we proceeded with the account migration process as outlined below:
Creation of a new Apple Developer account and a new Apple Pay Identifier
Removal of the Merchant Domain (dc2-web.happy.co.kr) from the existing Identifier
Registration of the Merchant Domain (dc2-web.happy.co.kr) under the new Identifier
Using the Merchant Domain registered under the new Identifier and the Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate issued from the new Identifier, we attempted to obtain an Apple Pay session by sending requests to the following endpoint:
https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession
However, we are intermittently receiving failure responses with an HTTP 400 status code.
With regard to these intermittent failures, we would like to inquire whether there is any propagation delay on Apple’s servers when an Apple Pay Identifier is removed and re-registered under a new account, or if there could be any other possible causes for this behavior.
We would appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Hello,
We’re seeing an issue where the Apple Pay button is visible in Safari but not clickable for certain users, while it works normally for others. This happens on our site (https://store-qa2.enphase.com/
) as well as on other sites for the same affected users.
Currently, we display the Apple Pay button based on the following condition:
Boolean(window.ApplePaySession) && ApplePaySession.canMakePayments();
For affected users, the button shows up as expected, but it’s not interactive. All users (both affected and unaffected) are on the latest versions of Safari and macOS/iOS.
Could someone clarify what additional conditions Safari/Apple Pay requires for the button to be fully functional? And under what circumstances could it be visible but not clickable?

Hi Apple Pay Team,
We are building a QR-based payment platform and planning to integrate Apple Pay on the Web as a Payment Platform Integrator.
Our setup:
We operate a single domain (e.g., pay.example.com) where all Apple Pay transactions take place
When a customer scans a merchant's QR code, our hosted page opens with the Apple Pay button
We process payments on behalf of multiple merchants (receivers), each with a separate merchant ID at our payment processor
We want to use a single Payment Platform Integrator ID with one set of certificates (Merchant Identity + Payment Processing)
The payment processor handles sub-merchant identification and settlement to the correct receiver via card network (Visa/Mastercard) sub-merchant fields
Our question:
Since all transactions happen on our single domain, is it mandatory to register each sub-merchant via the Apple Pay Web Merchant
Registration API (/paymentservices/registerMerchant) and use their partnerInternalMerchantIdentifier in the payment session request?
Or is it acceptable to use our Platform Integrator's own merchant identifier for all payment sessions, given that:
Only one domain is involved
Sub-merchant identification is handled at the payment processor / card network level
Our domain verification file is already hosted and verified
We would appreciate clarity on the correct approach before we proceed with our integration.
Thank you.
