Apple Pay

You can also accept payments through Apple Pay via Checkout (Hosted Payments Page - HPP).

Follow the integration steps below to process transactions via Verifone eComm API.

Initiate a wallet payment using ApplePay

Check also our API documentation.

1. Enable ApplePay via Verifone's Hosted Checkout or via Direct API, as per the instructions from the Apple Pay documentation.

   To enable the ApplePay wallet with Mobile SDKs check the Apple Pay information.

2. Generate a unique merchant_reference.

   The merchant_reference needs to be unique to identify the shopper when they are redirected to your server by Apple Pay. In the next step, you will be creating a transaction through the API, the transaction will return an id that needs to be stored safely with the reference. When the shopper returns, you can use this reference to confirm either through the webhook or through the GET transaction API call if the shopper has successfully completed the transaction.

3. Required fields.

   Parameters	Description
   payment_provider_contract	In the Payment Provider Contracts section in Verifone Central, set the Payment Type to Apple Pay for web, select your contract and copy the Payment Provider Contract ID. Note this value is different in Sandbox and in Production.
   amount	Amount of the transaction.

Web Integration

An Apple Pay web integration consists of implementing both client side and server side components. You will need to implement the following:

• Create your Apple Pay button and initialize your Apple Pay session when clicked.

  • Apple Pay Buttons

• Initiate the merchant session by calling the on the validatemerchant event and provide the response to the session.completeMerchantValidation callback.

  • eCommerce

• Use the Apple Pay token to make a wallet transaction API call and complete the Apple Pay session based on the response.

  • eCommerce

Code sample

const ApplePaymentOptions = {
  countryCode: "US",
  currencyCode: "USD",
  merchantCapabilities: ["supports3DS"],
  supportedNetworks: ["visa", "masterCard", "amex", "discover"],
  total: {
    label: "Demo (Card is not charged)",
    type: "final",
    amount: "1.99",
  },
};
const canMakePayments =
  window.ApplePaySession && window.ApplePaySession.canMakePayments();
let session;
function handleApplePayRequest(formValues) {
  if (canMakePayments) {
    session = new window.ApplePaySession(3, ApplePaymentOptions);
    session.onpaymentauthorized = makeTransaction(formValues);
    session.addEventListener("validatemerchant", validateMerchant);
    session.begin();
    console.log("INFO - BEGIN SESSION...");
  }
}
function validateMerchant(e) {
  // Pass the validation URL and domain to your server to make the wallet transaction API call
  fetch(`YOUR_ENDPOINT`, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: REQUEST_HEADERS,
    body: JSON.stringify({
      validation_url: e.validationURL,
      domain: window.location.hostname
    }),
  })
    .then((res) => res.json())
    .then((sessionObject) => {
      session.completeMerchantValidation(sessionObject);
    })
    .catch((err) => console.log("ERROR - MERCHANT VALIDATION: ", err));
}
function makeTransaction(formValues) {
  return (e) => {
    const applePaymentObject = e.payment;
    const payload = {
      token: applePaymentObject.token.paymentData,
    };
    // Pass the apple pay token to your server to make the wallet transaction API call
    fetch(`YOUR_ENDPOINT`, {
      method: "POST",
      headers: REQUEST_HEADERS,
      body: JSON.stringify(payload),
    })
      .then((res) => res.json())
      .then((res) => {
        // Check the response status and complete the payment session
        if (res.status === 'AUTHORIZED') {
          session.completePayment(0);
        }
      })
      .catch((err) => console.log("ERROR: ", err));
  };
