Apple Pay is a leading global payment method that lets customers tokenize their payment details in a digital wallet. It supports American Express, Maestro, Mastercard, Visa, and Dutch bank accounts. Customers can make both online and near-field communication (NFC) payments.

An additional layer of security is provided by 3D Secure, which requires customers to verify their identity.

  How to detect Apple Pay on the customer's device

  
  

  If a customer uses an unsupported device to navigate to an Apple Pay payment page, they won't be able to complete the payment. To prevent this, before creating the payment page, check whether Apple Pay is supported on the customer's device.

  JavaScript

  try {
      if (window.ApplePaySession && ApplePaySession.canMakePayments()) {
      console.log('Apple Pay available');
      // Create an Apple Pay payment page from your server
      }
      } catch (error) {
      console.debug('An error occurred while verifying if Apple Pay is available:', error);
      }
