What's New with Payments on Apple Pay

Apple introduced several updates to Apple Pay during the WWDC 2024 session titled What’s new in Wallet and Apple Pay. Here are the key highlights:

  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. (Updates to Apple Pay on the web)
    • JavaScript SDK: Developers need to import the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK (version 1.2.0 or higher) to ensure compatibility with non-Safari browsers. (Updates to Apple Pay on the web)
    • API Enhancements: The new Apple Pay capabilities API is introduced to replace the deprecated canMakePaymentsWithActiveCard method, providing a cleaner solution for determining Apple Pay availability. (Updates to Apple Pay on the web)

  2. Funds Transfer Capabilities:

    • Web Support: Funds transfer capabilities are now expanded to the web, allowing users to withdraw money from a stored value or bank account to any user card registered with Apple Pay. (Updates to Apple Pay on the web)
    • Instant Funds Transfer: Developers can support instant funds transfer by adding supportsInstantFundsOut to their merchant capability list, which also allows specifying additional fees for instant transfers. (Updates to Apple Pay on the web)

  3. Merchant Category Codes:

    • Apple Pay now supports merchant category codes that follow ISO standard 79450, helping to ensure valid payment cards and successful transactions. (Updates to Apple Pay on the web)
