When Apple Pay is integrated into the Hosted Checkout solution, it makes paying easier and safer.

Customers can confirm their payment using Touch ID or Face ID, so they do not have to type in their card or shipping details. Apple Pay transactions enjoy a liability shift thanks to Apple's integrated authentication methods, eliminating the need for additional issuer authentication.
Warning: Apple Pay is supported from Mastercard Gateway API version 72 and later. Apple pay is only available for full page redirect in Hosted Checkout.

Support is provided for Credit Cards and Debit Cards for the Authorize and Pay/Purchase operations.

Mastercard, Visa, Amex, and Discover. Merchants using the Mastercard domain can use Apple Pay in Hosted Checkout, but only for DPAN transactions. We are working on a solution for the merchants who use their own domain for a complete redirect to Hosted Checkout (also known as Private Label branding) or those who use the embedded page for Hosted Checkout. Contact your partner bank and they can enable it for you. Merchants in China will not have access to Apple Pay at present, but it will be available in the future.
