Apple Pay

Apple Pay is Apple's wallet for a payer's cards: the card is stored on the device as a token, and a payment on an iPhone, iPad or Mac is confirmed with Face ID or Touch ID, in apps and on the web. For a checkout it is a card payment with the scheme's settlement, refunds and chargeback rules but without card entry, and the device's biometric check counts as strong customer authentication in Europe.

How a payment goes through

  1. 1The checkout opens the wallet app or shows its button
  2. 2The payer confirms in the app with a PIN or biometrics
  3. 3The wallet confirms the payment to the provider within seconds
  4. 4Webhook to the merchant; a refund goes back the same way

How a payment goes through

  1. The checkout shows the Apple Pay button on a supported device and browser.
  2. The payer confirms the amount with Face ID or Touch ID; the device sends a one-time token with a cryptogram.
  3. The acquirer decrypts the token and authorises the card payment in seconds.
  4. Tranzify writes the result and calls the merchant’s webhook.

Apple Pay against a card entered at checkout

Apple Pay Card entered at checkout
Launched 2014; on the web since 2016 —
Card data a device token; the merchant never sees the card number PAN in a PCI vault
Authentication Face ID or Touch ID on the device 3-D Secure where required
Settlement and chargebacks T+1 and scheme rules, as any card the same
Recurring yes, by a merchant token after the first payment yes
Payouts no push to card

Payouts and refunds

Refunds go back to the underlying card through the acquirer. Recurring charges use the token the acquirer issues after the first Apple Pay payment. Payouts are not part of Apple Pay; card payouts go over Visa and Mastercard.

Who uses it

E-commerce, delivery and digital goods on mobile, where one tap decides whether the payer completes the order; SaaS and travel as a second button beside cards.

Frequently asked questions

Where does Apple Pay work in the catalogue?+
In the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, the United States, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Kazakhstan, in nine currencies, through an acquirer licensed for the market; the payer’s card must be enrolled in Apple Pay by its issuer.
Does Apple Pay need 3-D Secure?+
No separate step: Face ID or Touch ID is the cardholder verification, and the token carries a cryptogram the issuer checks, so the acquirer treats it as an authenticated card payment.
Who is the licensed party?+
The acquirer from the catalogue — Adyen, Stripe, Checkout.com or SmartFlow — under the client’s own merchant agreement; Tranzify supplies the software, routes the payment, journals it and calls the webhook.
