To integrate Apple Pay, you can follow the steps outlined in the session "What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay" from WWDC 2024. Here are the key points:

  1. Import the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK:

    • Ensure you import the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK or update your existing version to 2.0 or higher. It's recommended to place this in the head tag of your HTML document to ensure that Apple Pay is ready as soon as your page loads.
  2. Use the JavaScript SDK Apple Pay Button:

    • Use the Apple Pay button provided in the JavaScript SDK instead of the CSS implemented variant. This ensures that non-Safari browser support works.
  3. Check Payment Credential Status:

    • Use the canMakePayments API or the new Apple Pay capabilities API to determine when and where to display the Apple Pay button. The new API provides a cleaner, universal solution to the problem of browser support for Apple Pay.
  4. Testing and Best Practices:

    • Refer to the developer documentation for details on how to display and customize the Apple Pay button.
    • If you have implemented Apple Pay using the W3C API instead of Apple Pay JS, note that not all browsers support the Payment Request API.

For a detailed walkthrough, you can watch the session What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay.
