If you're accepting donations, Apple requires that you register with Benevity before you begin implementing Apple Pay in your website.

Back to Top

Step 1: Verify your domain

You'll need to register all your domains that will be displaying the Apple Pay button, including both top-level domains (e.g. bluesnap.com) and sub-domains (e.g. store.bluesnap.com).

1.1: Host the domain verification file on your server

  1. In your BlueSnap Merchant Portal, go to Integrations > Apple Pay, and click Download verification file. The file automatically begins downloading.
  2. Host the file at /.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association on your domain(s) that will display the Apple Pay button.

1.2: Tell BlueSnap where you're hosting the file

You'll need to tell BlueSnap where you're hosting the file using either the BlueSnap Merchant Portal or the Onboarding API.

Option 1: BlueSnap Merchant Portal

  1. In your BlueSnap Merchant Portal, go to Integrations > Apple Pay, and enter your domain name in the New Domain field. Do not include https://.
  2. Click the (+) Add button.
  3. When you're done, click Submit.

Option 2: Onboarding API
Using the Onboard Apple Pay API, send a POST request to services/2/wallets/onboarding as shown in the example below.

Note: Do not include https:// when entering your domain name(s).

Sample request:

{
    "walletType": "APPLE_PAY",
    "applePay": {
    	"domains" : ["example.com", "mystore.example.com", "bluesnap.com"]
    }
}
<wallet xmlns="http://ws.plimus.com">
   <wallet-type>APPLE_PAY</wallet-type>
   <apple-pay>
       <domain>example.com</domain>
       <domain>mystore.example.com</domain>
       <domain>bluesnap.com</domain>
   </apple-pay>
</wallet>

A successful response is 201 Created and includes a location header with an Onboarding ID. You may use this ID later to retrieve your registered domain details.

Sample response:

HTTP/ 1.1 201 Created
Location: https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/wallets/onboarding/385

Note: To update your onboarding information in the future, such as to unregister a verified domain or to add a new domain, use the Update Apple Pay Onboarding Information request.

Step 2: Add and display the Apple Pay button

This section covers how to add the Apple Pay button to your site, and how to detect if the shopper is using a compatible device to determine if the button should be displayed.

📘

Apple Pay requirements

On all pages where the shopper is presented with the Apple Pay button, you're required to adhere to the Apple Pay Identity Guidelines and Apple Pay on the Web Human Interface Guidelines.

2.1: Add the Apple Pay button to your site

Begin by adding a hidden Apple Pay button to your site. Note that Safari now comes with built-in Apple Pay images, which can be accessed using -webkit-named-image. The following black Apple Pay button with white text can be created using this feature.

215

Adding the Apple Pay button:

<button id="apple-pay-button"></button>

The following CSS renders the above Apple Pay button. There are many ways to style the button. Refer to Apple's documentation for code samples.

#apple-pay-button {
    -webkit-appearance: -apple-pay-button; 
    -apple-pay-button-type: plain;
    visibility: hidden; /* button is hidden by default */ 
    display: inline-block;
    width: 200px;
    min-height: 30px;
    border: 1px solid black;
    background-image: -webkit-named-image(apple-pay-logo-white);
    background-size: 100% calc(60% + 2px);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-color: black;
    background-position: 50% 50%;
    border-radius: 5px;
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 5px auto;
}

2.2: Display the Apple Pay button on a compatible device

Detect the shopper's browser and device capabilities to determine if the Apple Pay button should be displayed. Check that window.ApplePaySession class exists in the browser (this class manages the Apple Pay payment process in your website). Call its canMakePayments method to perform a basic hardware check to see if the shopper's device is capable of purchasing with Apple Pay.

if (window.ApplePaySession && ApplePaySession.canMakePayments()) {    
    // Device supports Apple Pay      
    // Show Apple Pay button... 
}

If you want to default to Apple Pay during your checkout flow, or if you want to add Apple Pay buttons to your product detail page, you can use the canMakePaymentsWithActiveCard method. This asynchronous call detects that the shopper's device supports Apple Pay and that there is at least one card provisioned in their account. If checking Apple Pay compatibility at any other point, use canMakePayments instead.

Call canMakePaymentsWithActiveCard with a string containing your BlueSnap Merchant ID and the verified domain that will display the Apple Pay button, in the format: "{BlueSnap Merchant ID}-{Domain}". For example: "123456-test.bluesnap.com".

if (window.ApplePaySession) {
    var merchantID = '123456'; // your BlueSnap Merchant ID;
    var domain = 'test.bluesnap.com'; // your domain that will display Apple Pay button

    var promise = ApplePaySession.canMakePaymentsWithActiveCard(
        merchantID + '-' + domain
    );
    promise.then(function (canMakePaymentsWithActiveCard) {
        if (canMakePaymentsWithActiveCard) {
            // Device supports Apple Pay & user has at least 1 provisioned card
            // Show Apple Pay button...
        }
    });
}

Back to Top

Step 3: Create an ApplePaySession

A new ApplePaySession instance should be created every time the Apple Pay button is clicked/tapped.

We'll begin by adding an event listener on the button that calls applePayClicked when the button is clicked. This callback function is where the majority of our Apple Pay implementation takes place.

document.getElementById('apple-pay-button').addEventListener('click', applePayClicked);

To begin, do the following within applePayClicked:

  1. Create a payment request object (an object that contains all the information needed to display the payment sheet).

  2. Create a new ApplePaySession instance.

For the payment request object, BlueSnap requires the following information to complete a transaction, in addition to Apple Pay's requirements:

Payment API

Extended Payment API

  • requiredBillingContactFields
    • postalAddress
    • name
  • requiredBillingContactFields
    • postalAddress
    • name
  • requiredShippingContactFields
    • postalAddress
    • name
    • phoneticName
    • phone
    • email

📘

Note

You do not need to enter the actual information, you need to specify the parameters that you want to pull from the shopper. For example, if you want to request the shopper's billing address, you specify: requiredBillingContactFields: [ 'postalAddress']

The following is an example of a new ApplePaySession creation:

function applePayClicked() {
  var request = {
    countryCode: 'US',
    currencyCode: 'USD',
    total: { label: 'Your Label', amount: '10.00', type: 'final' },
    supportedNetworks:[ 'amex', 'discover', 'jcb', 'masterCard', 'visa' ],
    merchantCapabilities: [ 'supports3DS' ],
    requiredBillingContactFields: [ 'postalAddress', 'name' ],
    requiredShippingContactFields: [ 'postalAddress', 'email', 'phone' ]
  }; 
  var session = new ApplePaySession(2, request);
  // continued below 
}

📘

Note

The label should be a short, localized description of the line item. Certain displays can truncate the label so we recommend a short label.

When creating a new ApplePaySession instance, a JavaScript exception is thrown if any of the following occur:

  • Any Apple Pay JavaScript API is called from an unsecured page.
  • You pass an invalid payment request. Payment requests are invalid if they contain missing, unknown, or invalid properties, or if they have a negative total.

Back to Top

Step 4: Set up the onvalidatemerchant callback

📘

Setting up event handlers

Apple's documentation provides a list of events for which you may set up event handlers. We'll go over how to set up the onvalidatemerchant and onpaymentauthorized event handlers. You may set up additional event handlers if you wish.

The callback function onvalidatemerchant is automatically called with an event object when the payment sheet is displayed. Merchant validation is initiated so Apple can verify your eligibility to accept Apple Pay on your website.

The following steps outline the flow for onvalidatemerchant:

Client-side:Server-side:
  • 1. Extract the URL from event.validationURL.
  • 2. Send the URL to your server.
  • Go to Step 3 on server-side⟶
  • 7. Pass the decoded token to your session's completeMerchantValidation method as a JavaScript object.
  • 3. Send a Create Wallet request to BlueSnap with the URL.
  • 4. BlueSnap returns a token (a base64 encoded string) in the response. Extract this token.
  • 5. Base64 decode the token.
  • 6. Send decoded token to the client.

  • ⟵Go to Step 7 on client-side
function applePayClicked() {
  // continued from above 
  session.onvalidatemerchant = function(event) {
    var validationURL = event.validationURL;     
    // send validationURL to your server...
    
    
    // ...return base64 decoded token
  var decodedToken = {base64 decoded token};
  session.completeMerchantValidation(JSON.parse(decodedToken)); //to abort the session, use session.abort()
  }; 
  // continued below 
}

When called, completeMerchantValidation completes the merchant validation process. The payment sheet updates to request the shopper's authorization.

Create Wallet API call

The Create Wallet request is done as part of the merchant validation process. Perform this call after you've sent the URL from event.validationURL to your server.

The Create Wallet request should be sent to /services/2/wallets, and should contain the following properties:

  • Wallet Type — value is APPLE_PAY.
  • Validation URL — value extracted from event.validationURL.
  • Domain Name — The name of your domain that you verified in Step 1.
  • Display Name — (optional) The name of your store. On certain models of MacBook Pro, the system displays this name to the user in the Touch Bar. The value is up to 65 UTF-8 characters. If this is not included, the system displays your BlueSnap-registered Merchant Name. We recommend that you include this information to avoid confusion for your customers.

Sample Create Wallet requests:

{
  "walletType": "APPLE_PAY", 
  "validationUrl": "https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession", 
  "domainName": "merchant.com",
  "displayName": "My Store"
}
<wallet xmlns="http://ws.plimus.com">
   <wallet-type>APPLE_PAY</wallet-type>
   <validation-url>https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/startSession</validation-url>
   <domain-name>merchant.com</domain-name>
   <display-name>My store</display-name>
</wallet>

A successful response contains the Wallet Token (a base64 encoded string).

Sample Create Wallet response:

{
    "walletType": "APPLE_PAY",
    "walletToken":"ImRhdGEiOiJuY1AvRitIUy8zeG5ISk1pSm9RbXhCMFd"
}
<wallet xmlns="http://ws.plimus.com">
   <wallet-type>APPLE_PAY</wallet-type>
   <wallet-token>ImRhdGEiOiJuY1AvRitIUy8zeG5ISk1pSm9RbXhCMFd</wallet-token>
</wallet>

Back to Top

Step 5: Set up the onpaymentauthorized callback

The callback function onpaymentauthorized is automatically called with an event object when the shopper has authorized the payment (typically via Touch ID).

The following steps outline the flow for onpaymentauthorized:

📘

Note

In Steps 1-4 below, we use the term "payment token" to refer to payment information – the entire event.payment object. Be sure to include the entire event.payment object when prompted, not just the token portion of event.payment.

Client-side:Server-side:
  • 1. Get the payment token event.payment
  • 2. Send the payment token to your server.
  • Go to Step 3 on server-side⟶
  • 6. Pass an appropriate status code to your session's completePayment method.
  • 7. Direct the shopper to the appropriate page (i.e. order confirmation page).
  • 3. Base64 encode the payment token.
  • 4. Send the encoded payment token to BlueSnap in a transaction request (See Processing Transactions).
  • 5. Depending on BlueSnap's response, update the client.
  • ⟵Go to Step 6 on server-side
function applePayClicked() {
  // continued from above 
  session.onpaymentauthorized = function(event) {
    var paymentToken = event.payment; 
    // send paymentToken to server...

 
    // ...return a status to completePayment & direct to appropriate page   
    session.completePayment(ApplePaySession.STATUS_SUCCESS); //or pass another valid status code - see below
    window.location.href = "/success.html";
    }; 
  // continued below
}

📘

Supported status codes for completePayment

Back to Top

Step 6: Show the payment sheet

After you've added all your event handlers, call your session's begin method to show the payment sheet to the shopper. Note that if the session isn’t explicitly requested by the customer (i.e. inside a click event), the begin method throws a JavaScript exception.

function applePayClicked() {
  // continued from above
  session.begin(); 
}

After the begin method is called, your session's onvalidatemerchant callback function is called. The other callback functions are called when their corresponding events are triggered as the shopper proceeds through checkout.

Working with payment requests

This section is intended for merchants not using our iOS SDK. Note that we recommend using our iOS SDK to get up-and-running quickly and to offer your shoppers Apple Pay, PayPal, and credit and debit cards in your app.

We'll cover some key topics in working with payment requests, including what information is required in the payment request, as well as how to send the payment token data to BlueSnap to complete a transaction.

Creating payment requests

Once you're ready to create a payment request, you'll need to include the necessary information to ensure BlueSnap can properly complete the transaction.

If you would like to learn more about the setup process for creating payment requests, refer to Apple's documentation.

BlueSnap requires the following information in the payment request to complete a transaction:

Sending payment token data to BlueSnap

Once you have the shopper's authorization, you're on your way to sending payment token data to BlueSnap for processing.

If you would like to learn more about the payment authorization process before moving forward, visit Apple's documentation.

The payment token is an instance of the PKPaymentToken class, and has a nested structure. The encrypted payment data that you send to BlueSnap for processing must be extracted from this structure, then wrapped in an intermediate object that BlueSnap recognizes.

The paymentData property of your payment token is a JSON dictionary, and it contains a data key. The value of this data key contains the encrypted payment data that you'll send to your server. After you have sent the encrypted payment data to your server, you must include it in the request when you send to BlueSnap for processing. Depending on BlueSnap's response, you'll return an appropriate response in the completion handler (i.e. success, failure, etc.).

Code sample

🚧

Important!

  • The intermediate object (encodedPaymentToken) should look exactly like the sample below and contain the same information about billing and shipping (you do not need to include the additional fields).
  • The BlueSnap iOS SDK is open source and contains our own Apple Pay implementation (similar to the code sample (for the relevant parts)).
  • You only receive the paymentData key that contains the pkpaymentData from Apple Pay.
/* PKPaymentAuthorizationControllerDelegate conformance. */
extension PaymentHandler: PKPaymentAuthorizationControllerDelegate {

    func paymentAuthorizationController(_ controller: PKPaymentAuthorizationController, didAuthorizePayment payment: PKPayment, completion: @escaping (PKPaymentAuthorizationStatus) -> Void)

        if payment.shippingContact?.emailAddress == nil || payment.shippingContact?.phoneNumber == nil {
            paymentStatus = .invalidShippingContact
        } else {
            // Here you would send the payment token to your server or payment provider to process
            // Once processed, return an appropriate status in the completion handler (success, failure, etc)          This is just a sample code that decodes the token and reconstruct it.  You should add some validations and make sure you pick up the information you need.

                let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
                    guard let data = data, error == nil else {
                        NSLog("Network error")
                        return

                        NSLog("statusCode: \(httpResponse.statusCode)")
                        if httpResponse.statusCode == 200 {
                            self.paymentStatus = .success
                        }
                        else {
                            self.paymentStatus = .failure
                        }
                    }
                    completion(self.paymentStatus)
                }
                task.resume()
            
            }
            catch {
               NSLog("json error")
            }
          
        }
    }

As demonstrated in the code sample below, you need to generate an intermediate object (encodedPaymentToken) in the appropriate way that the BlueSnap server expects it, with the Apple Pay info embedded:

var billingAddressLines = [String]()
billingAddressLines.append("")
if (payment.billingContact?.postalAddress?.street != nil) {
	billingAddressLines.append(payment.billingContact!.postalAddress!.street)
}
let encodedPaymentToken = [
                    "billingContact":  [
                        "emailAddress" : payment.billingContact?.emailAddress,
						"country": billingContact?.postalAddress?.country ?? "",
                        "phoneNumber": payment.billingContact?.phoneNumber?.stringValue,
                        "addressLines": billingAddressLines                    ],
                    "shippingContact": [
                        "emailAddress": payment.shippingContact?.emailAddress,
                        "phoneNumber": payment.shippingContact?.phoneNumber?.stringValue
                    ],
                    
                    "token": [
                        "transactionIdentifier": token.transactionIdentifier,
                        "paymentData" : pkpaymentData,
                        "paymentMethod" : [
                            "displayName": token.paymentMethod.displayName ?? "unkown",
                            "network": token.paymentMethod.network?._rawValue ?? "unknown" ,
                            "type": "debit",
                        ],
                    ]
                ]

Processing transactions

This section covers how to send the payment token data to BlueSnap to process the transaction using the Payment API or the Extended Payment API.

Processing transactions with the Payment API

The payment token data is sent in the Encoded Payment Token property in the request.

Scenario 1: Shopper is new

For sales involving new shoppers, include the Encoded Payment Token property in an Auth Only, Auth Capture, or Create Subscription request.

Sample Auth Capture request with Apple Pay wallet:

curl -v -X POST https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/transactions \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \ 
-H 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
-d '
{
    "cardTransactionType": "AUTH_CAPTURE",
    "softDescriptor": "DescTest",
    "amount": 11.00,
    "currency": "USD",
    "wallet": {
      "walletType": "APPLE_PAY",
        "encodedPaymentToken": "ImRhdGEiOiJuY1AvRitIUy8zeG5bXhCMFd"
    }
}'
curl -v -X POST https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/transactions \
-H 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
-H 'Accept: application/xml' \ 
-H 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
-d '
<card-transaction xmlns="http://ws.plimus.com">
  <card-transaction-type>AUTH_CAPTURE</card-transaction-type>
  <soft-descriptor>DescTest</soft-descriptor>
  <amount>11.00</amount>
  <currency>USD</currency>
  <wallet>
    <wallet-type>APPLE_PAY</wallet-type>
      <encoded-payment-token>ImRhdGEiOiJuY1AvRitIUy8zeG5bXhCMFd</encoded-payment-token>
  </wallet>
</card-transaction>'

Scenario 2: Shopper is returning

For sales involving returning shoppers, include the shopper's Vaulted Shopper ID and Encoded Payment Token in the Auth Capture, Auth Only, or Create Subscription request. Keep in mind, a shopper can only be vaulted with Apple Pay after a payment has been made.

Sample Auth Capture request with vaulted shopper and Apple Pay wallet:

curl -v -X POST https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/transactions \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Accept: application/json' \ 
-H 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
-d '
{
   "cardTransactionType": "AUTH_CAPTURE",
    "softDescriptor": "DescTest",
    "amount": 11.00,
    "currency": "USD",
    "vaultedShopperId": 1234,
    "wallet": {
      "walletType": "APPLE_PAY",
      "encodedPaymentToken": "ImRhdGEiOiJuY1AvRitIUy8zeG5bXhCMFd"
    }
}'
curl -v -X POST https://sandbox.bluesnap.com/services/2/transactions \
-H 'Content-Type: application/xml' \
-H 'Accept: application/xml' \ 
-H 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcm5hbWU6cGFzc3dvcmQ=' \
-d '
<card-transaction xmlns="http://ws.plimus.com">
  <card-transaction-type>AUTH_CAPTURE</card-transaction-type>
  <soft-descriptor>DescTest</soft-descriptor>
  <amount>11.00</amount>
  <currency>USD</currency>
  <vaulted-shopper-id>1234</vaulted-shopper-id>
  <wallet>
    <apple-pay>
      <encoded-payment-token>ImRhdGEiOiJuY1AvRitIUy8zeG5bXhCMFd</encoded-payment-token>
    </apple-pay>	
  </wallet>
</card-transaction>'
