    Apple Pay

    About Apple Pay

    Our Payments API allows your mobile app and online store to accept payments using Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, or Safari.

    Getting Started

    If this is your first time implementing our APIs we recommend reviewing our Reference guide, to get familiar with Bambora's Payment APIs.

    You can find more about Bambora and Apple Pay on Github.

    Requirements

    Registering Your Apple Pay Merchant ID

    Before you accept Apple Pay with Bambora, you need to register a Merchant ID and download a Merchant Certificate (P12) with Apple.

    Configure Your P12

    To enable Apple Pay on your Merchant Account, you'll set a password for your P12 using Keychain Access.

    1. Under the Category menu, select Certificates.
    2. Find and right-click your Merchant ID certificate. Select Export.
    3. Ensure your File Format is set to .Personal Information Exchange (.p12) before clicking Save.
    4. Enter the password you'll use when uploading your .p12 to the Member Area and click OK.

    VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: You must upload the "ApplePay Payment Processing Certificate". For further information visit: Configure Merchant ID and Certificates

    If you use a different certificate instead of "ApplePay Payment Processing Certificate", you may get the error: "Wrong certificate type. Apple Pay Merchant Identity certificates are for Web site usage only. Use an Apple Pay Payment Processing certificate type."**

    Enable Apple Pay

    To turn on Apple Pay for your account, log into the Member Area. Under configuration, click on mobile payments. From the Mobile Payments screen, you can enable Apple Pay by adding your Apple Pay signing certificate.

    mobile-payments-screenshot

    Click ADD NEW MERCHANT ID, and you'll be able to add your Apple Merchant ID, your P12 File Password, and upload your P12 certificate file.

    apple-credentials

    After you've added your Apple Pay certificate to your account, you can start integrating to your app.

    Accepting Apple Pay on iOS

    All of the directions and code samples to enable Apple Pay in your iOS app are available through Apple's documentation.

    Getting Started with Apple Pay will cover how to use Apple Pay and best practices, Apple Pay Guide has explanations of the user flow and working with Apple Pay, and Apple Pay Sandbox Testing will show you how to test Apple Pay transactions.

    API Requests

    When you make an apple_pay request to our Payments API, it'll be formatted in JSON, calling to https://api.na.bambora.com/v1/payments/.

      curl https://api.na.bambora.com/v1/payments \
        -H "Authorization: Passcode XXX1XXx11Xxx1xX1XxxxXxXXXXx1XXX1XxX1XXXxXXXxXxxxX11XXXxX1" \
        -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        -d '{
              "amount": 1.00,
              "payment_method": "apple_pay",
              "apple_pay": {
                "apple_pay_merchant_id": "<your_apple_pay_merchant_id>",
                "payment_token": "<apple_pay_base64_encoded_token>",
                "complete": true
              }
            }'
    
    Variable Description
    amount The amount of the transaction.
    payment_method The method of payment for the transaction. For Apple Pay, this will always be apple_pay
    apple_pay The object needed to pass an Apple Pay token including the Apple Pay Merchant ID, and the base64 payment token.
    apple_pay_merchant_id Your Apple Merchant ID provided in your Apple Developer Account.
    payment_token The encrypted Apple Pay token containing card holder details, generated from within the iOS app.
    complete The type of transaction being performed. True indicates a Purchase, and false is a Pre-Authorisation.

    Additional Examples

    Payment Button

    The sample below shows the action taken by a payment button using Swift, generating a payment request.

    func paymentButtonAction() {
        // Create a payment request
        let request = PKPaymentRequest()
    
        request.merchantIdentifier = "merchant.com.mycompany.myapp"
        request.supportedNetworks = [.visa, .masterCard, .amex]
        request.merchantCapabilities = .capability3DS
    
        // Use a currency set to match your Merchant Account
        request.countryCode = "CA" // "US"
        request.currencyCode = "CAD" // "USD"
    
        request.paymentSummaryItems = [
            PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "1 Golden Egg", amount: NSDecimalNumber(string: "1.00"), type: .final),
            PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "Shipping", amount: NSDecimalNumber(string: "0.05"), type: .final),
            PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "GST Tax", amount: NSDecimalNumber(string: "0.07"), type: .final),
            PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "Total", amount: NSDecimalNumber(string: "1.12"), type: .final)
        ]
    
        self.paymentAmount = NSDecimalNumber(string: "1.12")
    
        let authVC = PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController(paymentRequest: request)
        authVC.delegate = self
        present(authVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
    }
    

    Note: We not only support, but recommend the use of 3D Secure with Visa, MasterCard, and America Express using .capability3DS.

    Issue Payment Token

    This sample outlines how to handle the payment token once the payment request has been successfully authorized. To send the generated token to the server, execute the following request.

    // Executes a process payment request on the Mobile Payments Demo Server
    func paymentAuthorizationViewController(_ controller: PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController,
                                            didAuthorizePayment payment: PKPayment,
                                            completion: @escaping (PKPaymentAuthorizationStatus) -&gt; Void) {
        // Get payment data from the token and base64 encode it
        let token = payment.token
        let paymentData = token.paymentData
        let b64TokenStr = paymentData.base64EncodedString(options: NSData.Base64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
        let transactionType = self.purchaseTypeSegmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex == 0 ? "purchase" : "pre-auth"
        let parameters = [
            "amount": self.paymentAmount,
            "transaction-type": transactionType,
            "apple-wallet": [
                "payment-token": b64TokenStr,
                "apple-pay-merchant-id": "merchant.com.mycompany.myapp"
            ]
        ] as [String : Any]
    
        Alamofire.request(DemoServerURLBase + "/process-payment/apple-pay",
                          method: .post,
                          parameters: parameters,
                          encoding: URLEncoding.httpBody).responseJSON { response in
    
            let statusCode = response.response?.statusCode
    
            if statusCode == 200 {
                completion(.success)
            }
            else {
                completion(.failure)
            }
        }
    }
    

    It's important that the payment_token is Base64 encoded and included in the paymentData object.

    Below is an example of the paymentData object that should be submitted.

    {
       "data": "...xxxxxxxxx...",
       "signature": "...xxxxxxx...",
       "header": {
           "ephemeralPublicKey" : "...xxxxx...",
           "publicKeyHash": "XwslXXdP388+XdHp4XpX1bc2Xp48XXXynlaqc4XXiIg=",
           "transactionId": "8158127844d5aa8ede2c2401e2370f24ab2d6b15a1943a1fc3ff15f6d777abxx"
       },
       "version": "EC_v1"
    }
    

    If the paymentData has a different format you will get an error like this: "Payment Token Version Not Supported: EC_vX", or this "Expected token version not found."

    Note: This iOS client is sending the payment token to our Payment APIs Demo Server, as outlined on Github.
