Apple Pay enables customers to pay using payment methods saved to their Apple Wallet. The SDK provides configuration options for button styling and contact information capture.

​
Client session requirements

Apple Pay requires currencyCode and order.countryCode in the client session.
order.countryCode is the merchant’s country (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2) — where the transaction is processed, not the buyer’s country. This maps to Apple Pay’s PKPaymentRequest.countryCode: “the two-letter ISO 3166 code for the country or region of the merchant’s principle place of business.”

​
Billing options

Capture billing information from the customer’s Apple Wallet. 
applePay: {
  billingOptions: {
    requiredBillingContactFields: ['postalAddress'],
  },
}

​
Required billing contact fields

Set requiredBillingContactFields to specify which billing details to capture from the customer’s Apple Wallet.
FieldDescription
'postalAddress'Billing address (street, city, state, postal code, country)

​
Shipping options

Capture shipping information from the customer’s Apple Wallet and enable shipping method selection. 
applePay: {
  shippingOptions: {
    requiredShippingContactFields: ['postalAddress', 'name', 'email', 'phone'],
    requireShippingMethod: true,
  },
}

​
Required shipping contact fields

Set requiredShippingContactFields to specify which shipping details to capture from the customer’s Apple Wallet.
FieldDescription
'postalAddress'Shipping address
'name'Recipient’s name
'phoneticName'Phonetic representation of name
'phone'Phone number
'email'Email address

​
Shipping method selection

Set requireShippingMethod to true to display available shipping methods in the Apple Pay sheet. This requires a shipping module to be configured in your Primer dashboard. 
applePay: {
  shippingOptions: {
    requiredShippingContactFields: ['postalAddress'],
    requireShippingMethod: true,
  },
}
When enabled, customers can select from your configured shipping methods directly within the Apple Pay sheet.

​
Domain configuration

If your checkout is hosted on a different domain than your registered Apple Pay domain, set merchantDomain: 
checkout.options = {
  merchantDomain: 'merchant.example.com',
  applePay: {
    buttonOptions: {
      type: 'buy',
      buttonStyle: 'black',
    },
  },
};
See merchantDomain in the SDK Options Reference.
