What is Apple Pay?

Apple Pay is a secure and convenient payment method that allows customers to make purchases using their Apple devices, such as iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, and Macs. It works by tokenizing customer payment information, meaning that sensitive card details are never shared with merchants. Instead, a unique, encrypted transaction code is generated for each purchase, ensuring high security and privacy.

For example, when a customer uses Apple Pay in your ClickFunnels store or funnel checkout, they can simply tap their Apple device or pay using their Mac. By verifying their identity with Face ID, Touch ID, or their device passcode, the payment is processed instantly, creating a seamless checkout experience on mobile or desktop.

How to Enable Apple Pay

Step 1 - Enable Apple Pay in Workspace Settings

Navigate to the Workspace Settings and select the General tab.
Scroll down to the Payment Settings section.
Enable Apple Pay by toggling the switch next to “Apple Pay” under the Enabled Billing Payment Method Types.
This enables Apple Pay globally for your entire workspace.

Step 2 - Authorize Apple Pay with Your Connected Domain

From your ClickFunnels dashboard, navigate to the Workspace Settings » Domains menu.
Ensure that the domain you plan to use is successfully connected, and its status is marked as Connected.
Click on the domain or the adjacent gear icon (⚙️) to access domain settings.
Click on the Authorize Apple Pay button.
For internal domains (those provided by ClickFunnels with “myclickfunnels.com”), the “Authorize Apple Pay” button will appear directly adjacent to the domain name on the Domains page, rather than within the domain settings.
You will see an “Apple Pay Authorized” status next to your domain once it’s successfully set up.

Using Apple Pay with ClickFunnels Store Checkout

Once Apple Pay is enabled in your workspace settings, it will automatically be available as a payment option in your store’s checkout. Customers using Apple devices will see the Apple Pay option when selecting a product and proceeding to the checkout page.

To ensure that Apple Pay is properly configured in your store checkout:

From the ClickFunnels dashboard, navigate to the Store app and select the Overview menu.
Click on the “Edit Store Theme” button.
In the left-hand navigation panel, expand the Store Front menu and select the Product page.
In the page editor, ensure that the checkout element is added to the product page. Additionally, verify that Apple Pay is enabled in the payment method settings. For details on how to enable or disable Apple Pay on a checkout page, refer to this section: Enable / Disable Apple Pay in the Checkout Page.

Your workspace site domain must be authorized for Apple Pay. If the site domain is not authorized, the Apple Pay widget will not appear on the store checkout page.

Using Apple Pay with a Funnel

From the ClickFunnels dashboard, navigate to the Funnels menu.
Select the funnel you wish to edit from the list of available funnels.
Click on the Settings option to access the Funnel Settings.
Scroll to the Enabled Billing Payment Method Types section and toggle on Apple Pay. Once selected, the background color will turn dark, indicating it’s active.
Click Update Funnel to save your changes.
After enabling Apple Pay in the funnel settings, ensure that Apple Pay is also activated for each checkout page in the funnel. To do this, open each checkout page where the checkout element is located and enable Apple Pay in the payment method settings. For instructions on how to enable or disable Apple Pay on individual checkout pages, refer to this section: Enable / Disable Apple Pay in the Checkout Page.

The funnel must be connected to a domain that has been authorized for Apple Pay. If the domain is not authorized, the Apple Pay widget will not appear on the checkout page.

Enable / Disable Apple Pay in the Checkout Page

Once Apple Pay is authorized, navigate to the Page Editor for the specific checkout page.
Ensure that the checkout page contains the new Checkout element.
Navigate to the Checkout Element Settings and select the Payment Method.
Ensure that Apple Pay is toggled on as one of the available payment options.
You can set Apple Pay as the default payment method by using the drag-and-drop feature to move Apple Pay to the top of the list in the payment method settings.

Even if you set Apple Pay as the default payment method, if the customer is using a different browser or device that is not compatible with Apple Pay (e.g., non-Apple devices or browsers), the credit card widget will automatically load as a fallback option. Apple Pay will only appear as an option when the customer is using an Apple device and the Safari browser. When Apple Pay is selected during the checkout process, the customer’s contact information (such as name, email, and billing address) will be automatically retrieved from their Apple Pay account, streamlining the process and reducing manual input.
