Apple Pay button
Optimize your payment form with Apple Pay integration, providing a secure and efficient checkout for Apple device users

This guide outlines the steps to enable Apple Pay on your Solidgate Payment Form, following Apple’s development requirements. Once set up, the payment form features the Apple Pay button, enhancing your payment options.

Solidgate Payment Form complies with Apple’s development requirements for Apple Pay on the Web. Apple Pay is available in supported regions and on specific platforms in Safari, and in non-Safari browsers.

Display button

To integrate the button and start accepting Apple Pay payments through the Solidgate Payment Form, complete the following steps:

  • Domain verification
    Host a domain-verification file at a specified path for each domain where Apple Pay payments are to be processed.
    1
    
    HTTPS://[DOMAIN_NAME]/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association
    
  • Verification in HUB
    After hosting the file, verify the domain in the Developers section of the Solidgate HUB . This step is required as Solidgate team verifies domains for payment processing.

If you request to create a payment form with Apple Pay without verifying the domain, the button will not be displayed, and the appropriate warning will be sent.

If the domain verification fails, a warning message is displayed in the console using console.warn('The domain is not verified for Apple Pay');. This serves as a notification that the domain is not verified, and the Apple Pay button will not be displayed.

Once the domain is verified, you are ready to display the Apple Pay button on the Solidgate Payment Form, with the additional option to hide the button if necessary.

Subscribe to the mounted event to check when the Apple Pay button is set up and displayed. When the event is emitted for the applebtn entity, this means the Apple Pay button is fully displayed.

If errors occur during an Apple Pay payment attempt after the integration setup and button configuration, please review the essential steps to ensure the integration is configured as intended and test it.

Non-Safari browsers

Customers can complete purchases with Apple Pay on devices running macOS, Windows, and other operating systems using third-party browsers. During checkout, they will see the Apple Pay option and can finalize the transaction by scanning a QR code.

When Apple’s JavaScript object detects a non-Safari browser, it generates a QR code for transaction processing. Users can then scan the QR code with their iPhone, running iOS 18 or later, to complete the purchase through the familiar Apple Pay process. This approach is necessary, as many browsers do not natively support Apple Pay. Merchants must update their integration to enable Apple Pay in browsers other than Safari.

To enable Apple Pay in non-Safari browsers

  1. Add a new integrationType parameter for the applePayButtonParams object.
    By default, the integrationType is set to css, representing the previous, well-tested, and stable integration method.
  2. Update the integrationType by setting it to js.
  3. Check your website appearance after the changes.
    The new integration type uses the WebComponents approach, which could result in visual differences between old and new versions, depending on your website styling.

Customization

In addition to displaying the button on the payment form, you can also control the button position, color, and type. Use the applePayButtonParams object for changes as you would for all other customizations in the Solidgate Guide

Button position

To set the Apple Pay button position, create and specify a div, pass its id attribute value to the containerId parameter in the applePayButtonParams object.

import {Component} from '@angular/core';

import {FormType, InitConfig} from "@solidgate/angular-sdk";

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `
    <ngx-solid-payment
      [merchantData]="merchantData"
      [applePayContainer]="applePay"
    ></ngx-solid-payment>
    <div class="apple-pay" #applePay></div>
  `
})
export class AppComponent {
  merchantData: InitConfig['merchantData'] = {
    merchant: '<<--YOUR MERCHANT ID-->>',
    signature: '<<--YOUR SIGNATURE OF THE REQUEST-->>',
    paymentIntent: '<<--YOUR PAYMENT INTENT-->>'
  }
}

In this example, the div with the ID yourCustomContainerId is created and the containerId parameter in the applePayButtonParams object is set to the value yourCustomContainerId.

Without a specified containerId, the button appears by default above all fields of the Solidgate Payment Form. If a non-existing container is specified, an error message appears in the console.

warning
Container with id =‘specified-container’ does not exist.

Button styling

To change the button style, two parameters can be changed in the applePayButtonParams object:

  • black - use on white or light-color backgrounds that provide sufficient contrast. Avoid using on black or dark backgrounds.
  • white-outline - use on white or light-color backgrounds that do not provide sufficient contrast. Do not place on dark or saturated backgrounds.
  • white - use on dark-color backgrounds that provide sufficient contrast.

Apple provides several types of buttons so that you can choose the button type that fits best with the terminology and flow of your purchase or payment experience. You can find more information in the Apple Pay Guidelines.

The following button types are not supported by Solidgate:

  • donate
  • support
  • rent
  • contribute
  • tip

Button hiding

To hide the button from the customer, pass false to the enabled parameter. You do not need to specify true to display the button on the form as it is the default value. When you pass the false value, it means that the form with the passed parameters of containerId, color, and type is collected but not displayed on the Solidgate Payment Form.

  }
})

Apple payment sheet

Solidgate Payment Form gives you access to customize merchant name label on the Apple Payment Sheet. To change the name, you need to pass the apple_pay_merchant_name parameter in the paymentIntent object.
