Enable payments via Apple Pay

Caution

Note that Apple Pay is only available as a payment method on iOS devices in the Safari browser.

Apple Pay is Apple's mobile payment service that you can enable for your shop by using PayPal Checkout. If you have already set up PayPal Checkout for your shop, you'll only need to register your shop domain in your PayPal Business account and subsequently activate Apple Pay as a payment option in your PayPal settings.

Apple Pay currently supports payments in 32 countries and 22 currencies. This information is subject to change. If in doubt, you should check the list of supported countries/currencies in the PayPal Developer Help.

To ensure that your customers can't select a non-functioning payment option, you should register your domain first.

How to register your shop domain for Apple Pay in your PayPal Business account

1. Open PayPal.
2. Sign in to your PayPal Business account.
3. Navigate to Account Settings → Payment methods.
4. Select Manage Apple Pay.
