Apple Pay

Shoppers of your online store are able to use Apple Pay in order to take advantage of the convenience it provides. Not actually its own payment module, Apple Pay works in concert with other payment modules.

Prerequisites

Apple Pay for Miva only works with the Authorize.Net and Braintree payment gateways.
Future updates will support other gateways.
Apple Pay works only on secure (https) pages.
Apple Pay only works with the Safari browser version 10.0 or later and MacOS Sierra.

Click the following for more information about Authorize.Net and Braintree.

How to Enable Apple Pay

The Apple Pay module can be found by clicking Settings in the lower left corner, then clicking Modules.

On the page that opens, you can narrow the module options by clicking the drop down in the “Type” box and then clicking Payment.

In the Apple Pay box, click the Install button.

After it is installed, there is a new section in the Settings tab called Apple Pay Payment Networks. This is where the Apple Pay payment methods are mapped to one of the supported payment gateways in the Miva admin. The default value is “Automatic” which means the system will automatically choose the first gateway installed that supports Apple Pay.

The Automatic setting can be overridden to map Apple Pay to a specific gateway. This is useful when you have more than one Apple Pay supported payment gateway set up in your store, and you want to use that one rather than another. Currently only Authorize.net and Braintree gateways support Apple Pay. You will need to have one of these installed in your store to setup Apple Pay.

Starting with the 10.07 release, the Miva admin now supports the configuration of a store’s local currency and country when using the Apple Pay module.

Previously, the Apple Pay module would show US/USD values even if a merchant is located outside of the United States. Now users can select the appropriate country and currency in the Apple Pay tab in Payment Settings.

Adding Apple Pay to Page Templates

Important

The Apple Pay button can ONLY be displayed on a secured page (https). If you want to use the Apple Pay button on your basket, or a product page, you need to make sure those pages are being served over https.

It is recommended, for best conversion results with Apple Pay, the Apple Pay button should be placed on the following locations:

Product Page
Basket Page
Bill To/Ship To (OCST)
Global Mini-Basket

Each page where you want to place the Apple Pay button requires three steps:

Assign Apple Pay item to the page.
Add Head Tag Apple Pay item.
Add Button Tag item.

Error Validation

Beginning with Miva version 9.12, Apple Pay supports error validation. This means that missing required address fields will not be validated before the order is allowed to be placed. The Miva admin will use the required fields you have configured within Miva to determine which fields are set to be required.
