SERVER-TO-SERVER
Apple Pay Server-to-Server Integration
Server-to-server Apple Pay integration enables merchants to handle payments directly through their backend infrastructure. By sending encrypted payment tokens from the client to the server for processing, businesses can fully customise the payment flow, integrate deeply with their internal systems, and implement advanced capabilities like automated processes, subscription handling, and sophisticated risk controls.
Register and configure Apple Pay: create an Apple Developer account, set up a Merchant ID, and generate the required payment processing certificate (when using PAYSTRAX gateway certificate can be issued by us). Verify your domain to enable Apple Pay on their website.
Integrate Apple Pay on the frontend: Add the Apple Pay button and implement Apple Pay JS to handle the payment session, user authorisation, and generation of the encrypted payment token.
Connect to the PAYSTRAX (server-to-server): Send the payment token from the frontend to the merchant’s backend, which then forward to our API for decryption, authorisation, and transaction processing.
