XP Cloud:Apple Pay
Apple Pay in X-Payments Cloud
Advanced X-Payments plans (100K or more transactions per year) enable you to accept payments via Apple Pay.
Apple Pay is not an independent payment gateway, but a means of card tokenization that allows buyers to pay at your store without getting you to handle and store sensitive payment card information. It is a feature currently supported only by some payment gateways, and to be able to offer Apple Pay as a method of payment on your store website, you need to be using for your X-Payments Cloud payment method a payment configuration based on one of the following payment gateway integrations:
- Authorize.Net;
- Braintree, direct integration with CC storing;
- Chase Paymentech Orbital;
- CyberSource - SOAP toolkit API;
- First Data Payeezy Gateway (formerly Global Gateway e4).
That, of course, does not mean you can use only one. X-Payments allows you to use multiple payment configurations with Apple Pay support at the same time, and the selection of payment gateway through which a specific Apple Pay payment will be processed will be made by X-Payments automatically, as usual, based on the settings of specific payment configurations in your X-Payments Cloud instance, like allowed card types and currency.
Enable Apple Pay Payment Method
To enable Apple Pay support in X-Payments Cloud, complete the steps below:
- In X-Payments Cloud, configure and enable at least one payment configuration based on a payment gateway integration with Apple Pay support (See the list above). For example, if you want payments tokenized via Apple Pay to be processed via Authorize.Net, go to Settings > Payment processing, add a payment configuration for Authorize.Net and make sure it is enabled.
More information on the management of payment configurations in X-Payments Cloud is available in the section Payment Configurations. - Still in X-Payments Cloud, configure Apple Pay as a service. This can be done via the Services section of the General settings page (Settings > General).
See the section #Configure Apple Pay Service in X-Payments Cloud further below for detailed instructions. - Make sure the payment method "Apple Pay" in your store is active/enabled. The following screenshot was made in the Payment methods section of an X-Cart Cloud based store; stores based on other platforms will have their own sections to manage payment methods.
