Requirements

Domain Verification

Apple requires that your website use HTTPS, with a valid SSL certificate, TLS 1.2 support, and a unique IP with no redirects. Merchants must re-verify their domain with a new certificate when changing domains. Reach out to Bolt Support to get your domains re-verifed.

Certificate Expiration

Bolt will manage your domain verification (SSL) certificate on your behalf. When your certificate is about to expire, Bolt will reach out to you and begin the process to renew it. In the rare event your certificate expires, the Apple Pay button will immediately be removed from Bolt Checkout to prevent broken shopper experiences.

Pre-Authorization

A pre-authorization workflow is required to use Apple Pay. This is due to Apple’s requirement of an order token to initiate payment.

Pre-Existing Apple Pay Setups

To use Apple Pay with Bolt, you may have to contact both your platform and processor representative to disconnect your pre-existing Apple Pay integration.

Processor Enablement

Workflow

1. Shopper selects Apple Pay and initiates first shipping & tax call; merchant obtains zipcode, country code, state, region, and placeholder phone number.
2. Shopper authorizes the transaction; merchant obtains shopper’s name, email, phone, street address.
3. Bolt validates using a second shipping & tax call.
4. Bolt forwards information to Apple Pay authorization endpoint.
