Apple Pay allows your ticket buyers with Apple Pay-enabled devices to check out in an instant, using their fingerprint or Face ID instead of entering their card details.

Extra steps if you're using a custom domain

If you're using a custom domain, there are some extra steps for Apple Pay to make sure it works for Safari browsers.

  • Log in to your Stripe dashboard.

  • Select the cog icon top right corner.

  • Select 'Payments', then the 'Payment methods' tab.

  • Click on the relevant account.

  • Find 'Apple Pay' in the list and click on it.

  • Click on 'Configure domains'.

  • Click on 'Add a new domain'.

  • Enter your custom domain and click 'Save'.

Extra steps if you're using the widget with a custom domain

  • If you're using the widget as well as a custom domain, follow the steps above.

  • Then, in Stripe, click on 'Add a new domain'.

  • Add the domain you're loading the widget from.

  • You'll be prompted to verify the domain, which involves downloading a file from Stripe and uploading a file to the same domain on your website.


💡 Things to note

  • Apple Pay is only visible in Apple browsers (Safari) and on iPhones. It won't appear for buyers using another browser, like Google Chrome.

  • If you use Square or PayPal as your payment processor, Apple Pay isn't supported.
