Part 3: Perform Additional Setup for Apple Pay on the Web

If you develop web pages that support Apple Pay on the Web, your customers can use Apple Pay to purchase goods and services from within your web page. You can use the same Apple Pay merchant ID and Apple Pay payment processing certificate as required for Apple Pay in-app implementations. However, Apple Pay on the Web requires additional set-up tasks that you perform in your Apple Developer account:
  • Creating an Apple Pay merchant identity certificate
  • Registering your merchant domains with Apple
If you created multiple merchant ID and payment processing certificate pairs to support multiple environments, such as sandbox and production, you must associate each ID-and-certificate pair with a unique merchant identify certificate.

Creating an Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate

If you offer your customers Apple Pay in a web page, you must create an Apple Pay merchant identity certificate and associate it with your merchant ID. You need this Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificate in order to authenticate your sessions with the Apple Pay servers.
