In order to enable Apple Pay on your checkout, you will need to have Stripe integrated with your ThriveCart account.
Apple Pay allows compatible users to easily use their iPhone and Apple Wallet to make payments. Users must be running Safari on OSX or Safari on their iPhones.
Like Google Pay, this option will only show on compatible devices, so if you enable Apple Pay and cannot see it on your checkout, this will typically point to your device not being set up for Apple Pay.
When using Stripe with ThriveCart, Apple Pay should be enabled by default and ready to go.
However, you can enable or disable Apple Pay at an account-level by going to your Stripe dashboard > Settings > Payments > Payment methods > ThriveCart default configuration > Apply Pay.
Common Apple Pay Questions
Are there any fee’s for using Apple Pay?
“Apple does not charge users, merchants or developers to use Apple Pay for payments. Your credit and debit transactions will continue to be handled by the payment networks.”
I can’t see Apple Pay on my cart page!
Apple Pay will only show on your cart page if the user is using a compatible device. This includes Safari on both OSX and iPhone where Apple Pay is enabled.
If a desktop user is browsing your cart page from their Windows PC, then Apple Pay won’t be displayed in order to save confusion. Same for a user on an Android device.
Does Apple Pay work in my embedded checkouts?
Yes, but you will first need to add your domain into your Stripe dashboard by navigating to Settings > Payments > Payment methods > Thrivecart configuration > Apple Pay > Configure domains > Add new domain, and then enter the root URL of the website you have added your embeddable checkout to.
If your website is a sub domain you may need to enter that instead. For example:
- Checkout embedded on agenericproduct.com/my-sales-page/
- Apple pay domain: agenericproduct.com
- Checkout embedded on members.agenericproduct.com/my-sales-page/
- Apple pay domain: members.agenericproduct.com
Make sure to use the updated checkout embed code generated after September 16th, 2025.
