Overview

Apple Pay offers a secure, fast, and convenient way for customers to pay using their Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch). EdfaPay simplifies Apple Pay integration for merchants, providing two flexible models to suit your business needs.

Choosing Your Integration Method

Deciding between Checkout Integration and Embedded (S2S) Integration depends on your technical capabilities, desired control, and development timeline.

	Checkout Integration	Embedded Integration (S2S)
Setup	Quick and easy	More complex
Technical Effort	Minimal	Requires backend & frontend integration
UI Control	Limited (hosted by EdfaPay)	Full control
Certificates & Domains	Managed by EdfaPay	Managed by you
Apple Developer Setup	Not required	Required
Customization	Limited	Fully customizable
Use Case	Fast, ready-to-use solution	Custom payment experience

Integration Approaches

This is EdfaPay's recommended and most straightforward method for enabling Apple Pay.

Apple Developer Account Not required

Certificates & Domain Fully managed by EdfaPay

Setup Complexity Low — quick and easy integration

UI Control Limited, as the payment is handled via hosted checkout

Security and Compliance

EdfaPay ensures all Apple Pay transactions are tokenized and encrypted, maintaining PCI-DSS compliance.

Checkout Integration Handled entirely by EdfaPay — no additional security implementation required.

Embedded Integration (S2S) Requires the merchant to securely manage Apple Pay session, certificates, and validation.

For S2S, if your certificate expires, Apple Pay will stop working until renewed.
