Apple Pay

PayWay is a simple, secure, internet-based solution to collect and manage customer payments. Apple Pay allows customers to make purchases using a credit or debit card from their Apple wallet.

How to implement Apple Pay

To enable Apple Pay, you will need:

  • the PayWay Net module
  • someone with Client Administrator access to enable Apple Pay
  • a software developer to make changes to your website

Apple Pay is available using the Hosted Payment Page and the REST API.

To turn on Apple Pay:

  1. Sign in to PayWay
  2. Click Settings
  3. Click Apple Pay
  4. Agree to terms and conditions and click Enable Apple Pay.

Hosted Payment Page

You do not need to take any additional steps to accept Apple Pay payments using the Hosted Payment Page.

REST API

These steps assume you have already implemented a Trusted Frame solution.

Step 1: Register Domains

Follow the instructions on the Apple Pay Configuration page to register your domains with Apple.

Step 2: Place Apple Pay button

To create an Apple Pay button, create a <div id="payway-payment-request-button"> and call createPaymentRequestButton in payway.js.

When your customer clicks the button, they will select their card and confirm the payment with Apple.

Step 3: Receive the singleUseTokenId

Once your customer has confirmed the payment, payway.js will send the singleUseTokenId to your server.

Step 4: Process Payment

Once your server has received the singleUseTokenId, you should send a request to take a payment.
