Apple Pay

General information​

Apple Pay is a digital wallet provided by Apple that enables customers to make payments on websites and through iOS mobile applications without the need to enter full payment data each time.

There are two ways to integrate Apple Pay:

  • Tranzzo hosted integration (the Apple Pay payment button is located on our payment page).
  • Integration with the Apple Pay API (placing an Apple Pay payment button on your site).

Before starting the integration process, you should:

  1. Register in the merchant portal.
  2. Read the list of acceptable products.
  3. Ensure that your website uses HTTPS and supports TLS.

Tranzzo hosted integration​

Charging:​

To charge a payment card stored in Apple Pay, include the following values in the direct method request for the payway and cc_token parameters:

  • payway: applepay
  • mode: direct
  • cc_token: applepay:${base64_applepay_encrypted_token}

Request example:

curl -X POST \
  https://cpay.tranzzo.com/api/v1/payment \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'X-API-Auth: CPAY <API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>' \
  -H 'X-API-Key: <ENDPOINTS_KEY>' \
  -d '{
  "pos_id": "<POS_ID>",
  "mode": "direct",
  "method": "purchase",
  "amount": 1,
  "currency": "UAH",
  "order_3ds_bypass": "supported",
  "cc_token": "applepay:123",
  "products":[],

  "order_id": "1234567890",
