Hi,
You're here because you've had issues with your implementation of In-App Provisioning Extensions for Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification. To prevent sending sensitive credentials in plain text, create a new report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested below with the appropriate log profiles installed.
Gathering Required Information for Troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification Issues
While troubleshooting Apple Pay In-App Provisioning or In-App Verification, it is essential that the issuer is able to collect logs on their device and check those logs for error message. This is also essential when reporting issues to Apple. To gather the required data for your own debugging as well as reporting issues, please perform the following steps on the test device:
Install the Apple Pay and Wallet profiles on your iOS or watchOS device. If the issue occurs on Mac, continue to Step 2.
Reproduce the issue and make a note of the timestamp when the issue occurred, while optionally capturing screenshots or video.
Gather a sysdiagnose on the same iOS or watchOS device, or on macOS.
Create a Feedback Assistant report with the following information:
The bundle IDs
App bundle ID
Non-UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable)
UI app extension bundle ID (if applicable)
The serial number of the device.
For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > Serial Number (tap and hold to copy).
For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > Serial Number.
The SEID (Secure Element Identifier) of the device, represented as a HEX encoded string.
For iOS and watchOS: Open Settings > General > About > SEID (tap and hold to copy).
For macOS: Open the Apple () menu > About This Mac > System Report > NVMExpress > Serial Number.
The sysdiagnose gathered after reproducing the issue.
The timestamp (including timezone) of when the issue was reproduced.
The type of provisioning failure (e.g., error at Terms & Conditions, error when adding a card, etc.)
The issuer/network/country of the provisioned card (e.g., Mastercard – US)
Last 4 digits of the FPAN
Last 4 digits of the DPAN (if available)
Was this test initiated from the Issuer App? (e.g., yes or no)
The type of environment (e.g., sandbox or production)
Screenshots or videos of errors and unexpected behaviors (optional).
Important: From the logs gathered above, you should be able to determine the cause of the failure from PassbookUIService, PassKit or PassKitCore, and by filtering for your SEID or bundle ID of your app or app extensions in the Console app.
Submitting your feedback
Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the requested information above is included in your feedback. Failure to provide the requested information will only delay my investigation into the reported issue within your Apple Pay client.
After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond in your existing Developer Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your client, a configuration issue within your developer account, or an underlying system bug.

iOS 16 and earlier
On iOS 16 and earlier, Apple Pay on the Web required Safari—and all interactions with the Apple Pay API to come from the parent/top level page. In order to facilitate the Apple Pay button in an HTML inline frame (iframe), there will need to be cross frame communication between the child and parent pages. Cross frame communication should be secure and robust, therefore the use of postMessage for this purpose is recommended.
The expectation is for all communication with Apple Pay to occur from the parent page, so the iframe must relay all Apple Pay related events to the parent to handle. Some examples:
Apple Pay availability: The parent calls applePayCapabilities, then sends the message of the response to the iframe, which then uses the value to toggle the visibility of the Apple Pay button.
Apple Pay session: The iframe receives an onclick() event when the Apple Pay button is clicked and sends the message to the parent (providing details about the transaction). The parent create the payment request to obtain the session validation URL, and eventually receive session credentials and invokes completeMerchantValidation() to prevent the payment sheet. After the payment is authorized by the Payment Service Provider (PSP), the parent either:
Redirects the parent page to a payment success page; or
Sends a message to the iframe to complete the transaction flow itself.
iOS 17 and later
On IOS 17 and later, the iframe HTML element should include the allow="payment" attribute, which should facilitate the cross frame communications instead of needing a dedicated JavaScript library. This means all of the Apple Pay code/calls can reside in the iframe page—which is typically a hosted page from a Payment Service Provider (PSP), all the parent page—typically a merchant—has to do is add the attribute mentioned above to the iframe element.
Important: Regardless of the iOS version, the PSP/merchant always needs to make sure the parent page domain is the one registered in the Developer portal, and used in the request to generate a merchant session via ApplePaySession.

We are facing an issue with Apple Pay address details while customers are placing orders on our production site.
By default, the following values are being passed during checkout:
First Name: ApplePay
Last Name: Express
Address: ApplePay Street
When we manually enter these same details, our validation correctly prevents the order from being placed and displays an appropriate error message. However, on our production site, real customers are still able to successfully place orders with these exact details.
Could you please help us understand:
How these orders are being allowed to proceed despite the validation?
Is this behaviour expected from Apple Pay ?
How can we prevent orders from being placed with such placeholder address details?
Please let us know if you need any additional information from our side.
We have also attached an image showing the address details and the corresponding order number for reference.
Thanks in advance for your support.
We are working with two types of wallet passes. Provisioning works successfully for one pass type via wallet extensions, but the same process is not functioning for the other. For the second pass type, we are able to generate the required data for pull provisioning and send it to Apple. Additionally, in-app push provisioning for this pass type completes without issue. We would appreciate guidance on how to further debug and resolve this provisioning problem.
For the pushToken sent by APNS to register a wallet pass for update notifications, is there a max length or size that APNS will send? I save the token in my database and have it defined as varchar(256), but I have had some instances where the pushToken is larger than that. I'd like to know if there's an absolute max size that APNS will send. Then I'll know if I should reject requests with tokens larger than what's expected, and/or if I need to make the token size larger in the database.
Hi, I am the developer of this app and I was shared this receipt which strangely does not list my name as the merchant but instead says "The flow network" as you can see below:

Hello we are trying to renew our certificates.
We are trying to extend the dates of verified domains following the docs https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepayontheweb/maintaining-your-environment#Renew-Your-Domain-Verification
and configure our server with
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ApplePayontheWeb/setting-up-your-server
We've downloaded the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt and update it on their respective locations, click 'ok' button but we get redirected to the main page of the information of the merchant, and it shows the domains without the extending period of time.
No popup showing what has failed or what could be the reason of this error, we only get a redirection to the main page.

Hi everyone,
I am new to Apply Pay, but I have already implemented IAP for subscriptions in my app. My app also has other functionalities, it also acts as a person-to-person marketplace, as users can post events or online courses which can be bought by other users to participate.
My question is that I have read Apple's review guidelines but it is still unclear for me if I can use Apple Pay (with for example Stripe) or do I still need to use IAP for this online content.
Also non profit organizations also can register which can recieve donations, can I also use Apple Pay for that or do I still need IAP there, because it would be nice if Apple would take 30% of donations.

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

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 :

Thank you in advance for your help.
Recently, we completed a merger with our parent company.
We are currently integrated with Apple Pay in accordance with the “Apple Pay Payment Processing on the Web” guidelines.
Due to the change in the legal entity, we proceeded with the account migration process as outlined below:
Creation of a new Apple Developer account and a new Apple Pay Identifier
Removal of the Merchant Domain (dc2-web.happy.co.kr) from the existing Identifier
Registration of the Merchant Domain (dc2-web.happy.co.kr) under the new Identifier
Using the Merchant Domain registered under the new Identifier and the Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate issued from the new Identifier, we attempted to obtain an Apple Pay session by sending requests to the following endpoint:
https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession
However, we are intermittently receiving failure responses with an HTTP 400 status code.
With regard to these intermittent failures, we would like to inquire whether there is any propagation delay on Apple’s servers when an Apple Pay Identifier is removed and re-registered under a new account, or if there could be any other possible causes for this behavior.
We would appreciate your guidance on this matter.

We are an acquirer/payment provider offering Apple Pay. Our merchants use our hosted checkout to accept payments. After a user pays with Apple Pay on our checkout, the Wallet transaction record shows our checkout domain as the payee. We would like it to display the merchant’s brand/name so users can recognize or contact the merchant.
Is there any parameter or configuration that controls what Wallet shows as the payee? For example, can this be set via a specific field/parameter, or is it strictly derived from the Merchant ID’s display name (or other Apple Pay configuration)? What is the correct approach for a PSP/acquirer to have the merchant’s brand shown in Wallet transaction record?
Additional detail: The field in question is the merchant/payee name shown in the Apple Wallet receipt—directly under the transaction amount at the top of the receipt, and again beneath the “Total” line.
We are implementing Apple Pay on our website, but we only sell services and would prefer that the shipping address section of the Apple Pay modal doesn't require the shipping address and just show the billing address. Is there any way to achieve this?

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.

During the development of our 3D game project, we encountered high memory usage requirements. To address this, we enabled Apple’s Extended Virtual Addressing (EVA) and Increased Memory Limit services.
We have confirmed that both services were enabled in the developer backend as well as in Xcode, and we also used updated development and distribution certificates when building the app. However, in our validation process, it seems that EVA and Increased Memory Limit are not taking effect — the game still experiences memory overflow and crashes.
Could you please advise:
The correct steps to properly use Extended Virtual Addressing and Increased Memory Limit;
How we can confirm whether these services are functioning as expected?

Hi Guys,
I am having an issue verifying a card when it is pending verification in the Apple Watch Wallet App and the iPhone Wallet.
When the user verifies the card in the wallets, they are redirected to verification in my APP. However, the problem is that I don't know which application is calling, whether it is the Apple Watch or the iPhone, because the URL sends me the same serialNumber from the PKPASS. It is impossible to know if the user wants to verify and activate the card on the watch or the iPhone.
Because I only receive the following information in the URL:
myapp://app-url?
passTypeldentifier=paymentpass.com.apple&action =verify&serialNumber=*****
The serialNumber is the same from the iPhone Wallet and the Watch Wallet.
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options:
[UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool
{
let source = options[.sourceApplication]
I try to retrieve the source, but it comes back null. It would be the only way to know the originating App.
Can someone help me solve this problem?

Hi all,
I’m running into a confusing issue with Apple Pay domain verification. Apple’s documentation says to host the verification file at:
https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association
And the portal itself seems to expect the file to be served with .txt extension during verification. My first verification passed, but subsequent checks are failing — and I’m wondering if this mismatch is the cause.
Should I Keep the .txt and configure my server to serve it at both paths?
Would appreciate any insights or official clarification.
Thanks!

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?
