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 :

We request your support in enabling the extended entitlement feature for our team when creating provisioning profiles. This is because we need to include the ApplePay In-App Provisioning Development extended entitlement in our Bancoagricola app.
Currently, when creating new provisioning profiles, the screen to configure Additional Entitlements is not displayed for our team. However, we have verified with our provider HST (https://hst.com.br/) that this screen does appear in their Apple account.
Thank you very much for your support.
We have verified our domain but if the file is removed from the deployed site after verification will this impact using ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities in real time?
We use that method from the JS api in our React app to determine whether or not to show the apple pay button.
When that function is called in the browser, do the apple servers ping the https://our.domain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association URL at that time?
Or do they check for it periodically?
The reason for asking is that with our many environments we wonder if we can verify each environment's domain by adding the file once. The file will be wiped out by our CICD process as it goes up the environment stack through our development workflow.
Or do we need to maintain that file for each environment and add something to our build process?
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?

I'm facing problem with in-app-provisioning in production application. When we try to tokenize (before T&C step) we are getting error from topic.
I've also posted this in Feedback Assistant: FB18403577.
I'll be very happy if someone could help me to get what is wrong with data or configuration of application.
Hello,
Please help.
We have been experiencing what appears to be a TLS handshake error in our Apple Pay merchant validation requests (2-way TLS) since June 25, 2025.
We are aware of the encryption algorithm changes made in February 2025, and our system was functioning correctly at that time. However, the error started occurring suddenly and only recently.
Could you please clarify the following points?
Have there been any changes to the TLS configuration (cipher suites, certificates, protocol versions, etc.) on the Apple Pay server side since June 2025?
Have there been any updates to the specifications or recommended settings for merchant validation requests?
Is there any way to contact Apple for technical support regarding this issue other than through the Developer Forums?
Our Merchant Identity Certificate has already been renewed and is confirmed to be valid.

Hello!
We are using "Apple Pay Web Merchant Registration API"
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepaywebmerchantregistrationapi
Recently we successfully updated the Payment/identity certificates at our main merchant ID
And we have a few questions:
Do we need make the Domain verification for all of our sub-merchants again after the Certificates update?
How we can check the expiration of domain verification of merchants that we integrate trough API endpoint (https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant), and do verified domains via API have an expiration date???
How we can understand does the our universal domain verification file (apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association) have expiration too?
Thanks in advance!

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?
Is there a way to make a subscription's auto-renewal fail in sandbox environment?
Currently, I see no such options (screenshot)

Hi,
We're experiencing an issue with verifying our domain for Apple Pay on the web. It's currently stuck in the "Pending" state despite meeting the listed requirements. The domain in question has been verified once successfully but one month later when we renewed the SSL, we were unable to verify the domain again. Please note that the new certificate's CA chain has been changed.
A) The "apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt" file is publicly accessible at the following location:
/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt
B) We've also ensured that the following IP ranges are whitelisted:
17.32.139.128/27
17.32.139.160/27
17.140.126.0/27
17.140.126.32/27
17.179.144.128/27
17.179.144.160/27
17.179.144.192/27
17.179.144.224/27
17.253.0.0/16
17.23.4.96/27
17.132.108.64/26
17.23.24.32/27
17.23.19.0/27
17.157.40.128/27
17.157.44.128/27
17.157.32.0/27
C) Our servers support TLS 1.2 already.
D) "ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256" cipher suite has been used, so we believe all necessary criteria are satisfied.
However, when we attempt to verify the domain, we receive the following error message:
"Domain verification failed. Review your TLS Certificate configuration to confirm that the certificate is accessible and a supported TLS Cipher Suite is used."
Could you please advise why the verification is failing, or let us know if there's anything we might have missed?
Best regards,
Mehdi
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.

Hi support,
I'm getting the following error when I tried to re-verify my domain:
Domain verification failed. Review your TLS Certificate configuration to confirm that the certificate is accessible and a supported TLS Cipher Suite is used.
I have uploaded the required apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt file and it is reachable from the Internet in the proper location https://www..com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt.
The SSL certificate has been renewed and it offers at least one of required cipher suites based on the Apple document https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepayontheweb/setting-up-your-server.
The current verification will expire soon. Need your help urgently.
Thanks,
YaoF

I'm implementing Apple Pay for our application via the Apple Pay JS API, and everything works as expected when initiating a session from a Safari browser. However, when attempting to start a session in a non-Safari browser (Chrome in this case), I see the following behavior:
The "Scan Code with iPhone" popup appears
I scan the code with my device (9th gen iPad running iPadOS 18.5 if that matters)
The Apple Pay view does not appear on the device, and the "Scan Code" popup closes on the browser without any further information given.
I can see the messages being passed in the network tab, with the final message being a "getPaymentRequestResponse" message appearing at the time the code is scanned. I suspect merchant validation is failing since that should be the next step, but that's just an educated guess at this point. I would appreciate any help getting this issue resolved.

We are attempting to integrate the Apple Pay service into our website and have successfully verified our domain with Apple manually. However, we consistently receive an 'ApplePay reverify failed' email a month before the expiration time. Upon checking, we updated the SSL certificate for the domain before receiving the email, and the link still works fine in the browser. We would greatly appreciate any feedback from someone who can help us with this issue.
Hi!
I am working on automating the Apple Pay integration process in our CI/CD pipeline and would like to confirm whether a fully automated setup is currently possible for our preproduction environment.
Right now, our process is as follows:
A certificate is generated for the root domain and for each individual merchant subdomain.
Both certificates are manually uploaded to our preproduction servers to test and verified via HTTP.
We’d like to automate this flow in GitLab CI, mainly the generation of the necessary certificates programmatically or via API. However, from my research, it seems that Apple does not currently provide an API or any support to automate this task, but I’d like to confirm this directly with you.
Is there any official support or workaround for this kind of automation?
If not, do you have any plans to provide it in the future?
Thanks in advance for your help.
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.

Even following instructions to the documentation and attempting various combinations, the offer keeps failing with SKErrorCodeDomain error 18.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions as to what may be amiss or how it can be corrected?

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
