Apple Pay Integration on iPOSpays

1. Overview

Apple Pay is a digital wallet and mobile payment service provided by Apple. It enables users to make secure, contactless, and in-app or online payments

Apple Pay simplifies checkout by removing the need to manually enter card details. It uses Face ID, Touch ID, or a device passcode to authenticate transactions — ensuring both speed and security for customers and merchants.

2. When Domain Registration and Verification Are Required

Apple Pay requires every merchant website using it to be verified and registered with Apple. This verification ensures that Apple recognizes your domain as legitimate and authorized to display the Apple Pay button during checkout.

If your integration uses your own custom domain, you must register and verify that domain before Apple Pay can appear as a payment option.

3. Who Should Verify and Register Their Domain Through iPOSpays

Merchants using integrations with their own custom domains — such as Freedom to Design or the iPOSpays Gateways WC plugin (embedded mode) — must complete domain registration and verification through iPOSpays.

4. How Domain Registration Works via iPOSpays

Domain registration and verification can only be performed through a Merchant Admin Account.

If Apple Pay is not yet enabled for your merchant account, contact your Dejavoo sales executive or ISO administrator to activate it.

Once Apple Pay is enabled, you can follow the steps in the later section to register and verify your domain.

5. Supported Integrations

Apple Pay on iPOSpays is available across multiple integration types. Depending on your setup, domain registration may or may not be required.

Merchants using the Send Payment Link feature on iPOSpays-enabled terminals (such as CloudPOS, POS, and iPOSgo!) can accept Apple Pay directly from their customers.

8. How to Register and Verify Your Domain With Apple Pay on iPOSpays

iPOSpays simplifies domain verification by providing a built-in interface that allows merchants to complete Apple’s required domain registration directly from the iPOSpays portal.

If your integration uses your own custom domain — such as Freedom to Design or the iPOSpays Gateways WooCommerce plugin (embedded mode) — follow the steps below to register and verify your domain through iPOSpays.

You can also watch a setup video for a visual walkthrough of the entire process.

8.1 Steps

1. Log in to ipospays.com using your Merchant Admin Account credentials.

2. Navigate to Settings → Payment Methods → Apple Pay → Manage.

3. Click Add New Domain.

4. Enter your domain or subdomain (e.g., denovosystem.tech or payment.denovosystem.tech).

5. Download the verification file provided.

6. Host the file at the exact path specified on your domain.

7. Click Verify once the file is uploaded.
