Sorry if this is a more generalized question, but I am hoping to get some understanding before I pay over $100 for an Apple developer membership.
I am working on Stripe.js integration as payment method for my website. Specifically, I am using the Stripe Web Elements(https://stripe.com/docs/payments/elements) and want to enable the Apple pay option there.
I followed the requirement per Stripe doc at https://support.stripe.com/questions/enable-apple-pay-on-your-stripe-account, and verified my domain with the "apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association" file.
Then the final step 6, it asks me to continue with integrating Apple Pay for the Web following Apple Pay's documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web
This is where things got confusing for me. The Apple Pay documentation talks about all these different steps, such as:
Create a merchant identifier: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/configure-app-capabilities/configure-apple-pay#create-a-merchant-identifier
Create a payment processing certificate: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/configure-app-capabilities/configure-apple-pay#create-a-payment-processing-certificate
Register a merchant domain https://developer.apple.com/help/account/configure-app-capabilities/configure-apple-pay-on-the-web#register-a-merchant-domain
Using the Apple Pay JS API or the Payment Request API https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/apple_pay_js_api https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/payment_request_api
"Complete merchant validation" via my server https://applepaydemo.apple.com/payment-request-api
I understand that not all of the above instructions apply for Stripe integration, such as step 4 and 5. But I am not sure which other steps are necessary and which are handled by Stripe.
Can anyone please help clarify, or point me to a good resource/implementation?
Thank you,
as long as your domain verified by Apple and serve your site through HTTPS, your website is ready to accept Apple Pay payments. The requirements are clearer in this Stripe integration guide.
