Apple Pay

Apple Pay integration

NOTE

We currently only support Apple Pay for the web, native iPhone app support is coming soon.

Introduction

Apple Pay can be emebedded two ways into your payment flow. In the first case, it will be displayed on Barion Smart Gateway, which needs no further development on your side, however you should request it from Customer Care through the ticketing. The second option is to display the Apple Pay button on your site ("integrated mode"), however this needs configuration and development on your side. This page will discuss the latter.

• Barion Smart Gateway Apple Pay demo: https://demomerchant.shop/en/DemoClub/Pay (click the Pay button)
• Apple Pay integrated mode demo: https://demomerchant.shop/en/DemoGame/Pay

Limitations

Apple Pay will be visible to shoppers fulfilling the following criteria:

• Have an existing card added to their Apple Pay wallet

Moreover the shop must not provide prohibited items by Apple

• the beforementioned Barion wallet must have and approved shop
• For every currency you plan to conduct payments in you have to make sure there is an account created in your Barion wallet. This means that if you plan to have USD payments then there should be an USD account created in your wallet.

3. Request Apple Pay to be enabled

Create an Apple Pay session

When the user taps the Apple Pay button, provide a payment request and create the session as discussed here

Subscribe to the onvalidatemerchant event

         appleSession.onvalidatemerchant = function (event) {
			// TODO: disable Apple Pay button
			const data = {
				SessionValidationUrl: event.validationURL
			};

			$.ajax({
				method: "POST",
				url: "https://yourserver.com/ValidateApplePaySession",
				data: data,
				success: function (response, status, xhr) {
					const merchantSession = JSON.parse(response.ApplePaySessionResponse);
                    appleSession.completeMerchantValidation(merchantSession);
				},
				error: function (xhr, status, error) {
                    // failure callback
                    // TODO: enable Apple Pay button
				}
			});
        };

Call ApplePaySession.begin method

Call the begin method, and the merchant validation process begins
