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.

I’m having an issue verifying a domain for a Merchant ID. I’m implementing Apple Pay on the web for a demo, and I’ve configured the Azure server to match Apple’s requirements for domain verification, such as the TLS configuration, not requiring client certificates, and ensuring there are no redirects. I’ve run tests with OpenSSL and PowerShell and all responses return HTTP/1.1 200 OK. I also tested the URL Apple says it uses to validate the file under .well-known, and it does show the expected result. I already have the Apple Pay Payment Processing Certificate and the Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate approved; the only thing missing is the domain verification. I’m not sure what else to test—if you could help me with a possible solution, I’d really appreciate it. (The project is built in .NET 8 and hosted on Azure App Service.)

In the docs, I see a button type with label "Pay With [apple logo]. https://aninterestingwebsite.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/apple-pay Although I don't see this type as an option here: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/PassKit/PKPaymentButtonType Wondering if I'm looking in the right place and if this button type is still available?

Hi, Somebody knows how to decode / decrypt emvData on Apple Pay e-commerce when paymentDataType=EMV? Thanks. Reference: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/passkit/payment-token-format-reference#Detailed-payment-data-keys-EMV

Hello, We are implementing Apple Wallet extensions (PKIssuerProvisioningExtensionHandler). While our UI extension works as expected, our Non-UI extension is unable to detect payment passes provisioned by our app. Specifically, PKPassLibrary().passes(of: .secureElement) returns an empty array when called from the Non-UI extension, even though the same call correctly returns the passes when executed from the Main iOS App. Our Payment Network Operator has confirmed that our extension bundle identifiers are correctly registered in the metadata on their side. They suggested that the Wallet Extensions entitlement (com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning) may require additional backend enablement for these specific Extension App IDs. Is there a known reason why PKPassLibrary would behave differently in the Non-UI extension vs the Main App? Beyond the standard entitlement request, is there a specific process to "activate" these IDs for extension visibility? Does anyone have guidance on reaching the appropriate team for backend entitlement activation issues? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, we are setting up Apple Pay on our website which sells only digital goods. We don't collect a shipping address because we aren't shipping anything. We want to use the user's billing address in order to show them the total amount (including sales tax) before they authorize the purchase. However, it seems that the billing address isn't always provided by Apple Pay before the payment is authorized. With Apple Pay, what is the recommended way of acquiring the user's billing address before they authorize the purchase? -- More details about our setup: We are using the Apple Pay JS API. In createPaymentRequest, we specify requiredBillingContactFields: ['postalAddress'], but per the docs, the address is provided after the user authorizes the transaction. That is too late for us because we want to show the sales tax before the user authorizes the purchase. We have attempted to work around this by getting the billing contact details in session.onpaymentmethodselected. For example: session.onpaymentmethodselected = function (event) { const billingContact = event.paymentMethod.billingContact; // Sometimes `billingContact` exists, but other times it does not } This doc states: Before the user authorizes the transaction, you receive redacted billing contact information in a callback event. The redacted information includes only the necessary data for completing transaction tasks, such as calculating taxes or shipping costs. But in practice, we've observed that sometimes no billing contact information is provided. When a user switches from one card to another, we seem to never get the billing contact associated with the newly selected card. Is there something we're missing?

We are integrating Apple Pay In-App Provisioning in our banking application using an external SDK.

What other conditions could cause this? Is there a way to verify that the Distribution provisioning profile correctly includes the payment-pass-provisioning entitlement after it has been approved by Apple? Are there any additional Apple Pay entitlements or configurations (e.g., Wallet merchant setup, pass type identifiers) required beyond com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning for In-App Provisioning to work? Does regenerating the Distribution provisioning profile on Apple Developer Portal resolve cases where entitlements were added after the profile was originally created? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Currently, on our Production environment, when calling https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSessio,n we are randomly receiving: "Payment Services Exception merchantId={Value} unauthorized to process transactions on behalf of merchantId={Value} reason={Value} is not a registered merchant in WWDR and isn't properly authorized via Mass Enablement, either." Since launching Apple Pay on our platform we have received a new Domain Verification File and looking at some of the Domain Verification File that are hosted on the domains they are different to ours. Questions around the Domain Verification File Would we have to update every single Domain Verification File every time we receive a new one ? Does the paymentSession verfiy/call the Domain Verification File on the domain listed at https://[DOMAIN_NAME]/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association ? What happens if the Domain Verification File doesnt match the one that we currently have ? Would we have to regrester our Domains everytime we get a new Domain Verification File ?

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

I have some questions related to MPAN. What is the format of an MPAN? Is it the same as DPAN? Is it PAN preserving format? Is a Cryptogram required and if yes, what kind of cryptogram? Is it the same format as DPAN? Thanks in Advance!

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 observing unexpected behavior in Apple Wallet for transactions processed via an online delivery platform. Here is the specific flow: Initial Authorization: The original order was placed for $22.30. Order Amendment: The user added an item 10 minutes later for $6.20, bringing the total to $28.50. The Issue: Apple Wallet only displays the $6.20 transaction. The initial $22.30 amount is not visible in the transaction list. Technical Verification: We confirmed that both backend authorization messages for the original amount and the add-on were approved. We verified that the final settlement amounts correctly reflect the sum of both charges ($28.50). We have confirmed the transaction lifecycle completed successfully on our end. Despite this, the customer only sees the $6.20 entry in their Wallet history, which creates confusion as it doesn't reflect the total spent. Has anyone encountered this sync issue between settlement totals and Wallet display, or is there a specific way we should be linking these related authorizations? Thanks!

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.

Hi, I am currently implementing a recurring payment feature using the Apple Pay JS API. Based on the official demo (https://applepaydemo.apple.com/apple-pay-js-api), it appears that the recurringPaymentRequest object only supports a maximum of two stages: trialBilling and regularBilling. However, our service requires a multi-stage billing model with three or more different cycles/amounts as shown below: Example Schedule: Stage 1: 2,000 JPY (2026-03-01 to 2026-04-01) Stage 2: 1,500 JPY (2026-04-01 to 2026-10-01) Stage 3: 1,000 JPY (2026-10-01 to 2027-10-01) Stage 4: 500 JPY (Thereafter) Questions: Is there any way to directly define and display three or more different billing cycles/amounts on the Apple Pay payment sheet? If the API is strictly limited to two stages, what is the Apple-recommended way to provide transparency for such complex schedules while remaining compliant with the guidelines? For instance, is it acceptable to set the final amount in regularBilling and explain the preceding stages in the billingAgreement or paymentDescription fields? I would appreciate any insights or official guidance on this. Best regards,

On an iPhone device, the Apple Pay payment screen is displayed, but the "Approve with Side Button" icon below the amount does not appear, and instead a spinning loading icon is shown continuously. Could you please help identify the cause? ■ Reference URL: https://applepaydemo.apple.com/payment-request-api ■ Changed parameter: "merchantIdentifier": "〇〇.dev" ■ Accessed domain: 〇〇test.com ■ Test device: iPhone 13 iOS: 18.4.1
