Apple Pay

Apple Pay is a mobile payment and digital wallet service by Apple Inc. that lets users make payments using the iOS apps and on the web. It is supported on the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac. Apple Pay does not require Apple-specific contactless payment terminals and will work with Visa's PayWave, MasterCard's PayPass, and American Express's ExpressPay terminals. It digitizes and replaces the credit or debit magnetic stripe card transaction at credit card terminals. The service lets Apple devices wirelessly communicate with point of sale systems using a near field communication (NFC) antenna, a dedicated chip that stores encrypted payment information (known as the Secure Element), and Apple's Touch ID and Passbook.

To check out at brick and mortar stores, users hold their authenticated Apple device to the point of sale system. iPhone users authenticate by holding their fingerprint to the phone's Touch ID sensor, and Apple Watch users authenticate by double clicking a button on the device.

To check out online in supported mobile apps, users choose Apple Pay as their payment method and authenticate with Touch ID.

How does Apple Pay work?

User's Initial Setup

In order to use Apple Pay, a user must first add a credit card to their Apple device/service. Users can add credit cards to the service in any of three ways: through their iTunes accounts, by taking a photo of the card, or by entering the card information manually.

During initial setup, the user's card information is encrypted and sent to Apple's servers, where Apple decrypts the data and determines the card network or card issuer. Apple then re-encrypts the data with a key and issues a token called a Device Account Number (DAN). The device account number is received by the device and stored for future use.

Purchasing using Apple Pay

When a customer wants to make a payment with Apple Pay, they bring the phone to an NFC-enabled terminal. The phone asks the customer to authenticate the payment with TouchID. That authentication signals to the phone that it can transmit the Device Account Number and its accompanying dynamic security code to the merchant's terminal, and the transaction then proceeds as a normal credit card transaction would.

Payment Service Support for Apple Pay Integration

Radial's Payment Service provides APIs that can be used to integrate Apple Pay for both in-app mobile purchase integration and Apple Pay for the Web integration through the Safari browser. Two Radial APIs are involved in completing the integration.

Apple Pay Integration Single Request Flow

This is the data flow to complete an Apple Pay transaction. The sequence diagram below shows the series of system interactions in Apple Pay for the single request integration.

  1. In the merchant's iOS application, the user (customer) clicks the Checkout with Apple Pay button.
  2. The PassKit framework connects to the Apple server and receives encrypted payment data in JSON format
  3. The IOS Application creates a CreditCardAuth request including the AppleTransactionId, EphemeralPublicKey, PublicKeyHash, Signature, and Encrypted Token Value
  4. The iOS application calls Payment Service for CreditCardAuth.
  5. Payment Service uses the .cer file and the p12 file provided by the merchant, along with the ephemeral public key passed in the API call, to decrypt the payment data.
  6. Payment Service processes the request as a regular Card Not Present transaction and returns a success or failure response.
  7. The iOS application receives the success or failure response and prompts the user accordingly

APIs Used

Apple Pay integration uses the following API operations

  • Credit Card Auth API

See Authorization Response Codes for a list of codes.

String

SchemaVersion in the Request Message has to be equal to or greater than 1.1 in order to receive this element

CreditCardAuthReply/
AuthorizationResponseCode
Yes

Response code of the credit card authorization. This includes approval, timeout, and several decline codes.

See Authorization Response Codes for a list of codes.

String
CreditCardAuthReply/BankAuthorizationCode Yes

Authorization code returned by the payment processor upon a successful credit card authorization.

Any order taken by the Order Service and paid by credit card MUST have this authorization code.

String

Configuration Setup

To be configured for Apple Pay, a webstore must complete a certificate setup process. For information on this process, see Apple Pay Web Integration.

When an Apple Pay user clicks to authorize a payment, the following sequence is initiated:

  1. iOS makes a Decrypt Request API call to decrypt the encrypted blob that Apple Server sends.
  2. Payment Service decrypts the encrypted blob using the .cer file, private key and the ephemeral public key and sends it back to the iOS application.
  3. iOS application uses the decrypted payment data to create a CreditCardAuthRequest.
  4. iOS application calls Payment Service for CreditCardAuth.
  5. Payment Service processes the request as a regular card not present transaction and returns a response.
  6. iOS application receives a success or failure response and prompts the user accordingly.
