Preczn's Apple Pay client is a client-side (browser) script which reduces the complexity of integrating to Apple Pay on the Web for transaction processing with Preczn.

You can add the Apple Pay button to your web interface and then initialize it's functionality using a secure Preczn-hosted JavaScript client. Once an Apple Pay payment method is obtained the Preczn client generates a secure single-use merchant-specific token, which you can then safely transmit from your client-side web application to your server-side for use processing a transaction.

📱 Implementing Apple Pay

For a quick implementation crash course on the Preczn Apple Pay client, see the following recipe:

📱

Apple Pay on the Web

Open Recipe

1. Add the Apple Pay button to your page

Include the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK and define the button element

📖 Reference: Follow the Apple Developer Documentation guide for Displaying Apple Pay Buttons using JavaScript.

Add the Apple Pay JavaScript SDK reference to the <head> of your page:

<script crossorigin src="https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/1.latest/apple-pay-sdk.js"></script>

Then add the <apple-pay-button> element on your page where you would like it displayed:

<apple-pay-button buttonstyle="black" type="buy" locale="en-US"></apple-pay-button>

ℹ️ Note that the Apple Pay SDK will automatically hide and disable the apple-pay-button in any browser that is not compatible, or where the ApplePaySession.canMakePayments() function returns false.

📘
Be sure to create exactly one apple-pay-button element
The Preczn Apple Pay client will automatically discover the <apple-pay-button> element on your page (using getElementsByTagName('apple-pay-button')) and will render errors if zero or more than one <apple-pay-button> elements are discovered.

Customize the Apple Pay button

🎨 Customize the look and feel of the Apple Pay button with CSS and <apple-pay-button> element properties! See Apple Pay on the Web Interactive Demo for details and convenient tools for customizing the Apple Pay button.

❗Your website must comply with the Apple Pay acceptable use guidelines. For more information, see Apple's Acceptable Use Guidelines for Apple Pay on the Web.

2. Include the Preczn Apple Pay client on your page

Add the secure Preczn JavaScript client reference to the <head> of your page (ensuring that it's placed after the Apple Pay JS SDK script tag):

<script src="https://api.preczn.com/v1/clients/applepay.min.js?merchantId=mid_2zyd88xrnr90xskmjmqpd0x1vj&publicApiKey=2482re32338cd9z5048v7bhmb5"></script>

The following query parameters appended the script src URL are required:

Parameter	Description
`merchantId`	The Preczn merchant ID for which you want to display the Apple Pay button.
`publicApiKey`	Your platform public API key for authentication.

3. Define the required JavaScript callback function

Define a JavaScript callback function to handle tokenization result or errors:

var applepayCallback = function (result, errors) {
  if (!errors) {
    // Utilize resulting Preczn single-use token here
    var precznToken = result.token;
  } else {
    console.error(`Apple Pay errors:\r\n - ${errors.join("\r\n - ")}`);
  }
};

Callback function parameters

If no errors occurred the errors parameter value will be null, otherwise errors will contain an array of strings describing any error conditions.

Upon success Preczn creates a single-use merchant-specific token representing the Apple Pay payment method and provides it in the callback result object. The callback result parameter object will consist of following properties:

Property	Description
`method`	The `method` property of the single use token which was created. Always `APPLEPAY`.
`type`	The account type of the card which the token represents: `CREDIT` or `DEBIT`.
`brand`	The brand of the card which the token represents: `VISA`, `MASTERCARD`, `AMEX`, `DISCOVER`, `DINERS`, `JCB`, `UNIONPAY`, or `OTHER`.
`bin`	The bank identification number (BIN) of the card which the token represents. Typically the first 6 digits of the card number.
`last4`	The last 4 digits of the card number which the token represents.
`token`	The Preczn token ID for the single-use, merchant-specific token representing this Apple Pay payment method.
`billingContact` *	Object containing details about the billing contact associated with the payment method.
`billingContact.address`	Account holder's Address line 1.
`billingContact.address2`	Account holder's address line 2.
`billingContact.city`	Account holder's city.
`billingContact.region`	Account holder's region or state.
`billingContact.postal`	Account holder's postal or zip code.
`billingContact.country`	Account holder's ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code.

* If made available by Apple Pay, the billingContact data will be included in the result object.

Example result object:

{
  "walletType": "APPLEPAY",
  "type": "CREDIT",
  "brand": "VISA",
  "bin": "432100",
  "last4": "0012",
  "expiration": "1234",
  "merchantId": "mid_2zyd88xrnr90xskmjmqpd0x1vj",
  "token": "tkn_apkwm89dr8br9zvqw4b3xgktk",
  "billingContact": {
    "firstName": "Bob",
    "lastName": "Smith",
    "address": "1 Infinite Loop",
    "address2": "Suite 1",
    "city": "Cupertino",
    "region": "CA",
    "postal": "95014",
    "country": "USA"
  }
}

📘
Apple Pay Preczn Tokens are Single-use Only and Merchant-specific
Note that Preczn tokens returned for Apple Pay payment methods are merchant-specific and single-use only. Due to the nature of the underlying data, a multi-use token cannot be returned when the token is used for a transaction. Therefore it is advised that these tokens not be stored as card-on-file and not be used for a verify type transaction. Instead these tokens should be used to conduct a 'final' transaction such as a sale type transaction.

Callback errors

🛑 The following are errors which the Preczn Apple Pay client may send to your callback function:

Invalid API Key
- Invalid Preczn public API key provided in publicApiKey query string parameter.
Invalid Merchant ID
- Invalid Preczn merchant ID provided in merchantId query string parameter.

Preczn performs as your Payment Service Provider ("PSP") for Apple Pay; handling automatic merchant registration, domain configuration and validation, and decryption and tokenization of payment data.

For testing Apple Pay, your responsibilities include:

Properly configuring Preczn settings;
- Adding and managing Apple Pay domains.
- Configuring Apple Pay compatible processor connections.
Properly integrating Preczn Apple Pay client per instructions in this guide.
Creating Apple sandbox tester accounts: Create Sandbox Apple IDs.
- Adding test cards into sandbox testers' Apple Wallet.
Ensuring your Apple Pay implementation adheres to the Acceptable Use Guidelines for Apple Pay on the Web.
Ensuring your Apple Pay implementation properly follows the Apple Pay Human Interface Guidelines .

Using with a Content Security Policy

If you are using a Content Security Policy to secure your client-side web application, you will need to extend your policy to allow applepay.min.js to load and connect to the Preczn API.

Please add the following directives to your content security policy:

Directive	Value
`script-src`	`api.preczn.com`
`connect-src`	`api.preczn.com`

💳 Process an Apple Pay Transaction

In order to process a transaction using the Apple Pay data you receive from this integration, send the merchant-specific single-use token and customer billing information, which you obtained from the client-side, to the Process Transaction API endpoint.
