Apple Pay

Apple Pay gives buyers a secure, convenient way to complete purchases on supported Apple devices and browsers.

FastSpring supports Apple Pay for buyers using Safari on macOS and iOS, and Chrome on iOS 17 or later. Buyers authenticate with Touch ID, Face ID, or their device passcode before returning to your FastSpring confirmation page.

Prerequisites

Apple Pay has the following requirements:

• The buyer must use Safari on macOS or iOS, or Chrome on iOS version 17 or above.
• The buyer must have Apple Pay enabled and configured on their device.
• Apple Pay availability may depend on the buyer’s region and issuing bank.

Customer experience

Here's what the FastSpring Apple Pay experience looks like for buyers:

1. The buyer selects Apple Pay during checkout.
2. FastSpring displays the Apple Pay payment widget.
3. The buyer authenticates using Face ID, Touch ID, or their device passcode.
4. After successful authentication, the buyer then completes checkout with Apple Pay in a separate window.
5. FastSpring processes the transaction, and the buyer is redirected to your FastSpring confirmation page.

Refunds and returns

Refunds for Apple Pay transactions behave the same as other FastSpring refunds. FastSpring automatically returns the refunded amount to the buyer’s Apple Pay–funded card or account. No special configuration is required.

Webhooks

FastSpring includes the following fields in the order.completed webhook payload when an order is completed with Apple Pay:

"payment": {
  "type": "applepay",
  "creditcard": "visa"
}
