What's new?
We added the option to verify your domains for Apple Pay. This lets you launch the Apple Pay modal where customers pick a card and confirm directly from your checkout.
How it works
Apple Pay is a digital wallet that's integrated with iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other Apple devices. Customers authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or using their Apple Watch which makes it a simple and secure experience.
You can turn on Apple Pay for Paddle Checkout in a couple of clicks — no engineering effort required, and no need to sign up for an Apple Developer account.
Apple requires domain ownership verification for all websites that offer Apple Pay. This means that Apple servers check that you own a website before letting you launch the Apple Pay modal where customers pick a card and confirm.
To display Apple Pay on your website, Paddle opens an unobtrusive popup from a Paddle.com domain that launches the Apple Pay modal. The popup automatically closes when customers pick a card and confirm.
With this update, we added the option to verify your domains for Apple Pay. This lets you launch the Apple Pay modal directly from your checkout — no need for a popup.
Unverified domains
If you use Apple Pay on an unverified domain, Paddle opens an unobtrusive popup from a Paddle.com domain that launches the Apple Pay modal.
