In this guide, we will walk through the steps to enable these digital payment methods and provide troubleshooting tips to ensure everything runs smoothly.
How To Use Apple Pay And Google Pay #
To use Apple Pay and Google Pay, start by connecting Stripe, as it is the required payment gateway for these options.

- Once on the Manage Payment Integration page, locate the Register domains for Apple Pay option. Toggle this on to enable Apple Pay and Google Pay as a payment choice on order forms.
- Confirm the selection by clicking Yes, Confirm.
After connecting Stripe and enabling domain registration, both Apple Pay and Google Pay will be visible on your order forms. These payment options support various transaction types, including recurring payments and upsell transactions, making it easy for customers to complete repeat purchases or subscribe to services.
Complete The Setup For Display On Order Forms #
Once you have completed these steps, both Apple Pay and Google Pay will appear as payment options on your order forms, right alongside the regular credit card option.
