Apple Pay

The session titled "What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay" at WWDC 2024 covers several updates and enhancements to Apple Pay and Wallet. Here are the key points:

1. Apple Pay on the Web:

   • Users on iOS 18 can now use Apple Pay on any non-Safari browser by scanning a code with their iPhone to complete the payment securely and privately. This extends the Apple Pay user experience to any device with a browser, including those outside the Apple ecosystem.
   • Developers need to import the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK or update their existing version to 1.2.0 or higher and use the Apple Pay button provided in the JavaScript SDK to ensure non-Safari browser support (What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay).

2. Funds Transfer Capabilities:

   • Expansion of funds transfer capabilities to the web with iOS 18 and macOS 15. This allows users to withdraw money from a stored value or bank account to any user card registered with Apple Pay (What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay).

3. Merchant Category Codes:

   • Apple Pay supports merchant category codes that follow ISO standard 79450, which helps in making transactions more likely to succeed (What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay).

4. Wallet Pass Enhancements:

   • Introduction of a richer ticketing experience, including visual upgrades to tickets in your wallet, a new event guide to access detailed information about your event, and stronger system integration with apps like weather, calendar, and more (What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay).
