Apple Pay Integration Guide

In this guide, you will learn how to directly integrate Apple Pay with SumUp.

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  • You have a merchant profile with SumUp and have already filled in your profile details.
  • Get familiar with Apple Pay on the Web guide.
  • Offering Apple Pay requires registering with Apple on all web domains that will expose an Apple Pay button (includes TLD and subdomains). This is a requirement for production AND test environments.
  • If you want to test payments without involving real funds, create a test profile.
  • Complete the domain onboarding setup steps described in your Dashboard under Settings > For developers > Payment wallets.

Accepting Apple Pay Payments With SumUp

Section titled “Accepting Apple Pay Payments With SumUp”

To begin your implementation, follow these steps:

  1. Create a checkout
  2. Create an Apple Payment request
const applePaymentRequest = {
  currencyCode: "EUR",
  countryCode: "DE",
  merchantCapabilities: ["supports3DS"],
  supportedNetworks: ["masterCard", "visa"],
  total: {
    label: "Demo",
    amount: "0.00",
    type: "final",
  },
};
  1. Initiate an Apple Pay session and call the begin method
  2. Listen for the onvalidatemerchant callback and collect the validateUrl property. Create the following payload
{
  "target": "https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession",
  "context": "your_domain_name"
}

and initiate a merchant session by calling

PUT https://api.sumup.com/v0.1/checkouts/${checkoutId}/apple-pay-session

  1. The response from the previous step is needed to complete the merchant validation with the completeMerchantValidation method

  2. Submitting the payment dialogue triggers the onpaymentauthorized callback, this is when you need to process the checkout. The process checkout request body needs to include a payment_type of apple_pay and an apple_pay object, containing the response from step 7
