Introduction 🌟

Integrating Apple Pay with ZEN allows businesses to offer fast, secure, and seamless payments. In this guide, we’ll walk through every step—from Apple Developer setup to processing payments via ZEN’s API. Let’s dive in! 🚀

Prerequisites 🎯

1. Apple Developer Account (Individual or Organization) with Apple Pay enabled. 2. ZEN merchant account with API credentials (API Key Secret). 3. Xcode 13 and an iOS project targeting iOS 14.0 or later. 4. Access to your website’s SSL-enabled domain (for web-based Apple Pay on the web, if needed).

Step 1: Register Merchant ID with Apple 🍏

1. Sign in to your Apple Developer Account. 2. Navigate to “Certificates, Identifiers Profiles” → Identifiers → “ ” → Merchant IDs. 3. Enter a description and identifier (e.g., merchant.com.yourcompany), then click “Continue” and “Register.”

Step 2: Create Apple Pay Certificate 🔑

1. In “Certificates, Identifiers Profiles,” select your newly created Merchant ID. 2. Click “Create Certificate” under the Apple Pay section. 3. Upload a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) generated via Keychain Access. 4. Download the .cer file, double-click to install it, then export a .p12 from Keychain Access (include the private key).

Step 3: Configure Xcode Project 🚀

1. Open your iOS project in Xcode. 2. Select your app target → “Signing Capabilities” → click “ Capability” → add Apple Pay. 3. Under Apple Pay, add your Merchant ID (e.g., merchant.com.yourcompany).

Step 4: Implement Front-End Code 🖥️

4.1 Create a Payment Request

In your ViewController, import PassKit and check for Apple Pay availability: PKPaymentRequest request = [[PKPaymentRequest alloc] init]
request.merchantIdentifier = @’merchant.com.yourcompany’
request.supportedNetworks = @[PKPaymentNetworkVisa, PKPaymentNetworkMasterCard]
request.merchantCapabilities = PKMerchantCapability3DS
request.countryCode = @’US’
request.currencyCode = @’USD’
request.paymentSummaryItems = @[
[PKPaymentSummaryItem summaryItemWithLabel:@’Item Name’ amount:[NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithString:@’9.99’]],
[PKPaymentSummaryItem summaryItemWithLabel:@’Total’ amount:[NSDecimalNumber decimalNumberWithString:@’9.99’]]
]

4.2 Present the Apple Pay Sheet

PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController applePayVC = [[PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController alloc] initWithPaymentRequest:request]
applePayVC.delegate = self
[self presentViewController:applePayVC animated:YES completion:nil]

4.3 Handle Authorization Delegate

Implement paymentAuthorizationViewController:didAuthorizePayment:completion: to receive a PKPaymentToken.

Step 5: Integrate with ZEN API 🔄

Once you’ve captured the payment.token.paymentData, send it to your backend. Here’s how to process it with ZEN: 1. On your server, receive the Apple Pay token in JSON. 2. Call ZEN’s payments endpoint: POST https://api.zen.com/v1/payments
Headers: Authorization: Bearer Your Zen API Key
Body: {
nbspnbspamount: 999,
nbspnbspcurrency: USD,
nbspnbspsource: {
nbspnbspnbspnbsptype: apple_pay,
nbspnbspnbspnbsptoken: ltYour Apple Pay token datagt
nbspnbsp}
}
3. ZEN returns a response with payment status handle success or failure accordingly.

Step 6: Test Your Integration đź§Ş

1. Use Apple Pay Sandbox testers (in App Store Connect → Users Access → Sandbox Testers). 2. Simulate payments on a real device (Simulator doesn’t support Apple Pay). 3. Monitor ZEN Dashboard to verify test transactions before going live.
