What’s the newest in apple pay

The latest updates in Apple Pay, as presented in the session What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay, include several new features and enhancements:

1. Apple Pay on the Web:

   • Cross-Browser Support: With iOS 18, users can now use Apple Pay on any non-Safari browser by scanning a code with their iPhone to securely and privately complete the payment. This extends the Apple Pay user experience to any device with a browser, including those outside the Apple ecosystem.
   • JavaScript SDK: Developers need to import the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK (version 1.2.0 or higher) to ensure compatibility with non-Safari browsers. The Apple Pay button provided in the JavaScript SDK should be used instead of CSS implementations to support this feature.

2. Funds Transfer Capabilities:

   • Web Support: Funds transfer capabilities have been expanded to the web, allowing users to withdraw money from a stored value or bank account to any user card registered with Apple Pay. This feature requires checking with the payment processor to ensure support for disbursements.

3. Ticketing Enhancements:

   • Richer Ticketing Experience: Visual upgrades to tickets in the wallet, a new event guide for detailed event information, and stronger system integration with apps like Weather and Calendar have been introduced. This aims to provide a more comprehensive and integrated experience for event ticket holders.
