Apple Pay and Google Pay in invoices and Text2Pay links

Apple Pay and Google Pay are now supported with one-time and recurring invoices, as well as Text2Pay links. Your customers will see Apple Pay and Google Pay based on their geographic location and the web browser of the end customer. They will be able to use it based on whether or not they have a payment method associated with their Google account or Apple account. Only if both these conditions apply will Google Pay/Apple Pay be visible for payment along with the default choice for a credit card.

How do I enable Apple Pay and Google Pay?

Using Stripe Connect under the Payments ➝ Integrations page is the primary requirement. If you're using Stripe APIs to connect to Stripe, please use Stripe Connect to use this feature. Once you have connected your Stripe account in Payments > Integrations, you just need to enable Apple Pay and Google Pay in your Stripe account, and they will automatically start appearing in invoices and Text2Pay links.

Apple Pay requires an additional step to register the domain on which the payment will be accepted using Apple Pay. The platform will do this registration for all businesses automatically as soon as the Stripe account is connected. This will automatically allow them to offer Apple Pay as a payment method in invoices and Text2Pay link payments.

Troubleshooting for Apple Pay

1. The toggle to enable Apple Pay and Google Pay should be turned on while Stripe is connected to the location.
2. Make sure that Apple Pay is available in your country.
3. Ensure that the domain on which the invoice is hosted is registered with Stripe. This is an additional requirement for Apple Pay and should ideally automatically happen as soon as the toggle is turned on.
   • Head over to your Stripe dashboard and see if the domain is listed in the Web Domains section.
   • If the domain is not listed here, you can manually add the domain by clicking on Add New Domain. This is only intended for a quick resolution; you should raise a ticket with us if it does not automatically register on turning the toggle.
4. If the domain appears registered, ensure that the domain association file is hosted for that domain. This means that a file should get downloaded upon visiting https://example.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association if you're registering at https://example.com.
