Hello, I could not find where I can change the sellers name. Why is the first letter always capitalized? Do I have to change it via Developer-Account or App-Development or Payment-Provider?

Hello, I am following up on my previous feedback (Feedback ID: FB17175593) regarding the in-app provisioning failure for Apple Pay. In that report, I detailed errors encountered during the card addition process (notably issues related to a missing teamID and cryptographic material errors). Could you please provide an update on the investigation progress? I appreciate your assistance and look forward to your response.

Hi Apple Team and Developers, I’ve been testing the Top-up flow in our app via the TestFlight environment. Across multiple devices (around 10 tested), everything works fine with no issues. However, on one specific device — iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 18.6.2 — I’ve noticed an intermittent issue: When performing a Top-up, the Apple UI first shows a successful purchase confirmation. Immediately afterward, another UI prompt appears asking the player to re-enter their Apple ID password. At the same time, Apple returns a ghost string that we cannot use to verify the user’s package bundle ID. This creates potential confusion for users, as they see both a success confirmation and an unexpected password prompt. I’m unsure if this behavior is expected or if there’s a recommended way to handle or prevent this issue. Has anyone else encountered something similar, or does Apple have a suggested fix/workaround for this? For reference, here’s a short video of the issue in action: \🔗 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ml-QpEu4ocoxn-W3wEMsFMbXy2QdwbHB/view?usp=sharing Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support!

Hello, I'm building an expense management app and have the necessary FinanceKit entitlements. However I'm based in India and hence do not have access to an Apple Card. Is there anyway to test FinanceKit with some sort of mock data? I have tried following the developer documentation and built a minimal implementation to share via Testflight to my users. However it's failing to get any transaction data. I'm unable to debug the code myself and if anyone here has valid entitlements along with Apple Card, I'd appreciate if you could debug an example project I made below: https://github.com/tanmays/FinanceKitExample Feedback #FB14136552

Hi, We have app in which we take donations from people and send to non-profit organisations. I have read that Apple Pay can be integrated on non profit platforms to take donations, but we are middle man, we are not non profit .. we take donations, cut our platform fees and then sent to donations to non profit orgs. My question is can we integrate Apple Pay in our iOS app to take donations from apple? as we have integrated Apple Pay on the web.

I have a question regarding the file apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt. I understand that this file is used during API access for Apple Pay Web payments. However, is it necessary for our company to access this file during the payment process? Also, this domain validation file is expected to be placed in the publicly accessible “.well-known” folder on our web server. Is it acceptable for this file to remain readable by third parties on the Internet, including Apple’s servers, without posing any security risks? Since this file is generated during domain registration on the Apple Developer site and is unique to our domain, we believe there should be no security concerns even if accessed by third parties. However, are there any specific security requirements for this domain validation file? Please note that the domain validation has already been successfully completed. We appreciate your time and look forward to your guidance. Best regards,

Hello, we re developing a loyalty platform for end users and as such emit Apple wallet store cards. Problem we're facing is that the HTTP POST /v1/devices/:deviceLibraryIdentifier/registrations/:passTypeIdentifier/:serialNumber in some cases doesn't come through and we have no idea why. This only happens to a small percentage of customers, others work just fine. Does anyone have an idea why this might happen? I believe our setup is correct when 90% of customers work and we receive these HTTP requests to our server.

So we are developing an NFC reader for a client and one of the requirements was Apple ECP. We submitted a product plan and it was approved and we were given access to the specific documentation for ECP. We are looking to only use Loyalty passes via NFC. Not Apple Pay. We wish to develop passes that have NFC capability and apparently you need another approval for NFC Entitlement. Apple just denied our application. No reason given, just denied. How are we suppose to develop a solution when we can only do one side of the development? Also we are seeing VAS mentioned and believe we also need access to this documentation as well, but no idea where to request it. Nothing in our developer portal or wpc portal. Can someone from Apple please steer us in the right direction. As we understand it we need: Approved hardware product plan (which we have) Access to ECP 2.0 documentation (which we have) Access to VAS protocol documentation (we don't have) NFC entitlement to be able to create NFC enabled passes. Let me know what we need to do or if I am not understanding things correctly. Thanks

Hello, I am looking for some help on how to use the Apple Pay Web Merchant Registration API. Have been approved to use the API and attempted to test on a merchant ID set up for testing. Below are steps taken before the request. Create merchant ID com.test.merchant. Create Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate for using it with the request via p12. Create Platform Integrator platformintegrator.com.test With the below request, I am getting a 401. Any input would be much appreciated! curl --cert-type P12 --cert cert.p12:{password} -i -d '{\ "domainNames":["customer.test.com"],\ "partnerMerchantName": "customer.test.com",\ "partnerInternalMerchantIdentifier":"customer.test.com"}'\ "encryptTo":"com.test.merchant",\ https://apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant The response: { "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception Unauthorized", "statusCode": "401" } Also tried using the platformintegrator.com.test for the encryptTo but resulted in a 401 as well.

Hello, We are working on integrating billing into our dating app, targeted at the Russian market. Our main requirement is to support subscriptions with automatic renewal and cancellation. We understand that, according to App Store Review Guideline, all digital subscriptions should use Apple In-App Purchase (IAP). However, we are unsure how this applies in Russia, where some local regulations may limit the use of non-Russian payment processors, and where not all Russian bank cards are accepted by Apple. Our question is: -For iOS apps in Russia, is it strictly required to use Apple IAP for subscriptions? -Are there any approved exceptions allowing integration with local processors such as Robokassa or YooKassa? -How are other developers currently handling subscriptions for the Russian market? We want to ensure full compliance and avoid any risk of rejection or removal. Thank you in advance for any clarification. Best regards, Dan

Hey everyone, I wanted to check if anyone else has faced extreme delays when requesting access to Apple Pay Wallet APIs. It was Oct 11 2024 a year ago since we first applied to enable in-app provisioning for virtual cards in our app and we made 1% progress. For context, we already got access from Google for Google Wallet—it was smooth, professional, and timely. But with Apple… it’s been nothing but an endless cycle of waiting. We followed every step, submitted everything correctly, and even called Apple Developer Support multiple times. Their response? "We've escalated it." Again and again. But there’s no real progress. We’re rerouted, ignored, and left in limbo. At this point, I don’t even know if anyone is actually reviewing these requests. If a business like ours—fully compliant and ready to integrate—can’t even get a response in 150 day, how is this process supposed to work? I’m posting this here because I can’t be the only one. Has anyone else faced this? If you finally got access, how did you do it? Because right now, it feels like Apple Pay in-app provisioning is an impossible goal. Hoping someone from Apple sees this and realizes how broken this process is. We’re just trying to innovate and offer Apple users a great experience—why is it so difficult? Looking forward to hearing from anyone in the community who can help, Thanks! 🙏

Hi , This is regarding the ApplePayRecurringPayment Request and Apple Pay on Web functionality. Does Apple Pay on web providing functionality that collects payments from the stored credit card issuer bank (or) it only provides secured wallet functionality that provides a token which then has to be utilized to send a seperate payment request through a third party payment gateway to collect the payments from the credit card issuer bank. thanks

Is there a way to make a subscription's auto-renewal fail in sandbox environment? Currently, I see no such options (screenshot)

I'm trying to create an Apple Pay session for my website. I'm starting with curl for now, just to get proof of concept. curl --cert cert.pem --pass {passphrase} --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"merchantIdentifier":"{merchantIdentifier}","displayName":"testDisplayName", "initiative": "web", "initiativeContext": "{domain}"}' https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/paymentSession This is the response I get back { "statusMessage": "Payment Services Exception merchantId={VERY-LONG-ID} not registered for domain={domain}", "statusCode": "400" } I'm not sure why this is happening. {domain} is in the form of sub.site.tld with no protocol, such as https, which matches what I see in the list of the domains in the merchant identity dashboard. The {merchantIdentifier} also matches what I see in the top right, but the merchantId in the response is something I don't recognize. It's a long string of characters that appears to be hexadecimal. I added the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file to my .well-known directory and the dashboard does report that the domain is verified. I am making the request from the web server that the domain resolves to, if that matters. I can't think of any reason this would be happening. I'm not sure where the long merchantId in the response is coming from. Does it matter that it doesn't match what I supplied in the request? As far as I can tell, I am using the correct merchantIdentifier. It matches the dashboard and the CN field of the certificate. I found this other post that seems to have a similar error: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671227 The main difference is a 417 status code instead of the 400 I got. But the problem here was that there was no payment processing certificate and I do have one of those. I haven't checked with my processor to verify that the certificate is published, but I will do that soon. I wouldn't expect that to matter. Maybe it does? What other reason could I be getting this error? Could it be a problem with my merchant identity certificate? It took a lot of effort to make it work. But I suspect it's fine, otherwise I wouldn't be getting a response from Apple at all. I can't think of any other possible problems.

Hello Apple Developer Team/Community, I am working on developing an Apple Wallet pass with NFC functionality for our electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The goal is to enable a "tap-to-start charging" feature, providing a seamless and efficient experience for users. However, my request for an NFC certificate to enable this functionality has been rejected. Here is a summary of my use case and actions taken so far: 1. Use Case: The Wallet pass will allow users to initiate charging sessions by tapping their iPhones or Apple Watches on the EV charger. This feature aims to simplify the process by eliminating the need for additional apps, physical cards, or manual inputs. It enhances accessibility and aligns with Apple’s goals of providing users with secure and convenient solutions. 2. Steps Taken: Submitted the NFC certificate request with a detailed explanation of the functionality. Included diagrams and supporting documents demonstrating the workflow and system readiness. Received a rejection without clear guidance on how to address the issue. 3. Technical Readiness: Our backend is fully prepared to support NFC passes, including secure processing of tap events and payload encryption. The Wallet pass has been configured to include the nfc field with the required encryptionPublicKey. Request for Assistance: Could you provide guidance on improving my application to meet Apple’s criteria for NFC certificates? Are there specific requirements or examples of successful NFC-enabled Wallet pass applications that I can use as a reference? If anyone has faced a similar rejection, what steps did you take to get approval? Additional Information: Use case: EV charging stations NFC functionality: Tap-to-start charging session Current implementation: Pass is functional without NFC but requires NFC for seamless operation. Any advice or resources to help resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support. Best regards, DeveloperSquillion

When running the test app with test flight before actually opening the app, the execution region is Korea and the country code is Korea, but the currency code on the payment screen is displayed as dollars or euros instead of won. In the payment settings, the currency code is set to won for Korea and dollars for the United States, and the European region is not set at all, but in some phones it is displayed as euros, and in some phones it is not like this, and in some cases it is displayed as won normally.

we are currently using the requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression API in my app. to prevent the Wallet interface from appearing when an NFC/RF reader is detected during active app usage. Recently, a new transit card supporting Express Mode (T-money Transit Card) was released in Korea, and we are seeing an increasing number of users enabling Express Mode. However, this has introduced an issue where users are unable to use the BLE-based functionality we provide via our widget. Specifically, when the user taps our widget, it triggers a BLE signal broadcast for approximately 10 seconds. In this scenario, when the user brings their iPhone close to our reader, Express Mode is activated before the BLE interaction can be established. This prevents the BLE signal from being successfully received and processed. We would like to ask: Is it possible to suppress Express Mode behavior (similar to requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression) even when the app is launched via a widget interaction? Alternatively, is there any way to delay or defer Express Mode activation temporarily when launching from a widget or during BLE communication? We would appreciate any guidance or best practices you can share regarding this scenario. Thank you.

We have an Apple Pay account and have successfully created and verified the payment processing certificate in our Apple Developer account. When initiating an Apple Pay payment, the Apple session is created successfully with the correct data return from api , but it is not accepted with the error: “Payment not completed.” The issue occurs even though the merchant validation step works without errors. Our websites where this is happening are: https://magicdeliver.com/ https://www.pulsarmodular.com/ Could you please help us identify the cause of the issue and guide us on resolving it?

So I'm wondering if Apple makes commission on those payments since they're made in the app. For example a user may pay another user to clean their car. This will be handled with Stripe Connect and their balance, payment history, etc will be displayed in the app. Does Apple charge commission on that? The section the app review guidelines that I'm refrencing is below, but I'm still a little confused. 3.1.3(e) Goods and Services Outside of the App: If your app enables people to purchase physical goods or services that will be consumed outside of the app, you must use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments, such as Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry.

Hello, we develop a banking app and have successfully provisioned our cards (they are in the Wallet). But the method passes() of PassKit library always returns empty list. What may be the reason of this? Thanks.
