Integrating Appbrew with Apple Pay lets you offer native one-tap checkout on iOS. You can:
- Show the native Apple Pay sheet at checkout on iOS devices
- Let eligible shoppers authorize a purchase with Face ID or Touch ID
- Skip manual card and address entry entirely for Apple Pay purchases
This means iOS shoppers get the fastest possible checkout, with no typing a card number or shipping address, just a biometric tap. Appbrew configures the required Apple Pay merchant certificate and merchant ID under your Apple Developer account as part of setup.
What You Need
- An Apple Developer account
- An Apple Pay Merchant ID registered to that account
- An Apple Pay Payment Processing Certificate
How to Set Up the Integration
Contact your Appbrew representative to enable this integration for your app. Your Appbrew team configures the merchant certificate and Merchant ID registration as part of enabling this.
