Enable Apple Pay

This guide walks through the steps required to enable Apple Pay (Express Checkout) on your Magento Store. This will allow your shoppers to checkout with just one step!

Apple Pay allows customers to pay quickly and securely through your online store.

Apple Pay offers an accelerated checkout process. When a customer pays for their order using Apple Pay, they do not need to manually enter their credit card information, billing address or shipping address. The customer taps the Apple Pay button and scans their fingerprint, and Apple Pay provides that information to the Airwallex. You don't pay any extra fees for accepting Apple Pay.

Requirements

The merchant must install the Airwallex Magento Plugin and enabled credit cards
The merchant must have SSL activated on the store domain (This would mean your url needs to start with https:)
Your store must follow Apple’s Acceptable Use Guidelines
Apple Pay must be activated on Airwallex as a payment method

Steps to enable Apple Pay

Go to your payment settings via your Magento admin panel, Stores > Configuration > Airwallex > Credit Card > Express Checkout. You should be able to see the following screen

Magento Settings

Select Yes under Enable
Ensure Apple Pay is selected under Express Checkout. By default both Google Pay and Apple Pay are selected
Configure where you wish to display the Apple Pay buttons. You are able to choose either or all of "Product Pages", "Minicart","Shopping Cart Page" and "Checkout Page" These can be seen in the shopper experience section below
Configure the other options based on the requirements of your products and webpage under Apple Pay. Click Save Changes once you are done. Options available are:
- Call to action (CTA) - Defines what text is displayed on the button
- Button Theme - Defines what colour theme the button will show
Please ensure that all countries have their "State" as optional under Magneto Admin > Stores > Configuration > State Options. This will ensure that shoppers will have no issues checking out using Apple Pay

Card Scheme Configuration

Apple Pay respects the scheme selection on Airwallex settings

Activate schemes via Airwallex through Airwallex > Payments > Payment Methods For e.g. if Visa is not activated on Airwallex, customers will be able to select their Visa Cards upon checkout but it will fail at the processing stage

Hence for a merchant to accept Visa on Apple Pay, they need to select and activate it on Airwallex.

Shopper Experience

Requirements: Devices that support Apple Pay To access the Apple Pay button, your customers must use one of the following devices:

iPhone (SE, 6, 6 Plus, or newer)
iPad (Pro, Air 2, mini 3, or newer)
MacBook Pro with Touch ID *
Any Mac model (2012 or newer) plus an Apple Pay-activated iPhone or Apple Watch *

Shoppers must use Safari to see Apple Pay on MacBooks

Depending on your configuration and where you had decided to display the Apple Pay button, your shopper will see the Apple Pay button in different parts of the website. Some sample screenshots are shown below. Note that this may differ depending on the theme and configuration of your site.
