The paymentRequestButton Element gives you a single integration for Apple Pay, Google Pay, Microsoft Pay, and the Payment Request API —a browser standard that gives your customers the ability to quickly provide you payment and address information they’ve stored with their browser.

Using this Element, your customers are shown either an Apple Pay button or Payment Request button, depending on what is supported by their device and browser combination. If neither is available, the button is not displayed.

For customers who don’t use Apple Pay, the Payment Request button supports browser-saved cards, Google Pay, and Microsoft Pay.

Supporting Apple Pay requires some additional steps, but browser-saved cards, Google Pay, and Microsoft Pay are supported automatically on compatible devices.

Use of Apple Pay on the Web is subject to the Apple Pay on the Web terms of service.

Try it out

You can see what it's like right here on this page. Don't worry, your card won't be charged.

For a complete example integrating the paymentRequestButton Element with a backend to process payments, check out this sample e-commerce store and browse its source code on GitHub.

Collecting your customers’ payment information using the Payment Request Button Element requires four steps:

1. Set up Stripe Elements
2. Create the PaymentRequest instance
3. Create and mount the paymentRequestButton Element
4. Complete the payment using the emitted token

Prerequisites

Before you start, you need to:

• Add a payment method to your browser. For example, you can save a card in Chrome, or add a card to your Wallet for Safari.
• Serve your application over HTTPS. This is a requirement both in development and in production. One way to get up and running is to use a service like ngrok to set up an SSH tunnel.
• Register your domain with Apple Pay, both in development and production.

Step 1: Set up Stripe Elements

Elements is available as part of Stripe.js. Include this in your page and create a container that will be used for the paymentRequestButton Element:

<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>
<div id="payment-request-button">
  <!-- A Stripe Element will be inserted here. -->
</div>

Your Stripe publishable API key is also required as it identifies your website to Stripe:

var stripe = Stripe('pk_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx');

const stripe = Stripe('pk_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx');

Step 2: Create the PaymentRequest instance

Create an instance of stripe.paymentRequest with all required options.

var paymentRequest = stripe.paymentRequest({
  country: 'US',
  currency: 'usd',
  total: {
    label: 'Demo total',
    amount: 1000,
  },
  requestPayerName: true,
  requestPayerEmail: true,
});

const paymentRequest = stripe.paymentRequest({
  country: 'US',
  currency: 'usd',
  total: {
    label: 'Demo total',
    amount: 1000,
  },
  requestPayerName: true,
  requestPayerEmail: true,
});

Step 3: Create and mount the paymentRequestButton Element

Create the paymentRequestButton Element and check to make sure that your customer has an active payment method using canMakePayment(). If they do, mount the Element to the container to display the Payment Request Button. If they do not, you cannot mount the Element, and we encourage you to show a traditional checkout form instead.

var elements = stripe.elements();
var prButton = elements.create('paymentRequestButton', {
  paymentRequest: paymentRequest,
});

// Check the availability of the Payment Request API first.
paymentRequest.canMakePayment().then(function(result) {
  if (result) {
    prButton.mount('#payment-request-button');
  } else {
    document.getElementById('payment-request-button').style.display = 'none';
  }
});

const elements = stripe.elements();
const prButton = elements.create('paymentRequestButton', {
  paymentRequest,
});

(async () => {
  // Check the availability of the Payment Request API first.
  const result = await paymentRequest.canMakePayment();
  if (result) {
    prButton.mount('#payment-request-button');
  } else {
    document.getElementById('payment-request-button').style.display = 'none';
  }
})();

Step 4: Complete the payment using the emitted token

Finally, listen to the token event to receive a Token object. Send this token to your server to charge it and complete the payment.

paymentRequest.on('token', function(ev) {
  // Send the token to your server to charge it!
  fetch('/charges', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({token: ev.token.id}),
    headers: {'content-type': 'application/json'},
  })
  .then(function(response) {
    if (response.ok) {
      // Report to the browser that the payment was successful, prompting
      // it to close the browser payment interface.
      ev.complete('success');
    } else {
      // Report to the browser that the payment failed, prompting it to
      // re-show the payment interface, or show an error message and close
      // the payment interface.
      ev.complete('fail');
    }
  });
});

paymentRequest.on('token', async (ev) => {
  // Send the token to your server to charge it!
  const response = await fetch('/charges', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({token: ev.token.id}),
    headers: {'content-type': 'application/json'},
  });

  if (response.ok) {
    // Report to the browser that the payment was successful, prompting
    // it to close the browser payment interface.
    ev.complete('success');
  } else {
    // Report to the browser that the payment failed, prompting it to
    // re-show the payment interface, or show an error message and close
    // the payment interface.
    ev.complete('fail');
  }
});

If you are using the new SCA-ready PaymentIntents integration, follow this guide instead.

Collecting shipping information

To collect shipping information, begin by including requestShipping: true when creating the payment request.

You may also provide an array of shippingOptions at this point, if your shipping options do not depend on the customer’s address.

var paymentRequest = stripe.paymentRequest({
  country: 'US',
  currency: 'usd',
  total: {
    label: 'Demo total',
    amount: 1000,
  },

  requestShipping: true,
  // `shippingOptions` is optional at this point:
  shippingOptions: [
    // The first shipping option in this list appears as the default
    // option in the browser payment interface.
    {
      id: 'free-shipping',
      label: 'Free shipping',
      detail: 'Arrives in 5 to 7 days',
      amount: 0,
    },
  ],
});

const paymentRequest = stripe.paymentRequest({
  country: 'US',
  currency: 'usd',
  total: {
    label: 'Demo total',
    amount: 1000,
  },

  requestShipping: true,
  // `shippingOptions` is optional at this point:
  shippingOptions: [
    // The first shipping option in this list appears as the default
    // option in the browser payment interface.
    {
      id: 'free-shipping',
      label: 'Free shipping',
      detail: 'Arrives in 5 to 7 days',
      amount: 0,
    },
  ],
});

Next, listen to the shippingaddresschange event to detect when a customer selects a shipping address. Use the address to fetch valid shipping options from your server, update the total, or perform other business logic. The address data on the shippingaddresschange event may be anynomized by the browser to not reveal sensitive information that is not necessary for shipping cost calculation.

Note that valid shippingOptions must be supplied at this point for the customer to proceed in the flow.

paymentRequest.on('shippingaddresschange', function(ev) {
  if (ev.shippingAddress.country !== 'US') {
    ev.updateWith({status: 'invalid_shipping_address'});
  } else {
    // Perform server-side request to fetch shipping options
    fetch('/calculateShipping', {
      data: JSON.stringify({
        shippingAddress: ev.shippingAddress
      })
    }).then(function(response) {
      return response.json();
    }).then(function(result) {
      ev.updateWith({
        status: 'success',
        shippingOptions: result.supportedShippingOptions,
      });
    });
  }
});

paymentRequest.on('shippingaddresschange', async (ev) => {
  if (ev.shippingAddress.country !== 'US') {
    ev.updateWith({status: 'invalid_shipping_address'});
  } else {
    // Perform server-side request to fetch shipping options
    const response = await fetch('/calculateShipping', {
      data: JSON.stringify({
        shippingAddress: ev.shippingAddress
      })
    });
    const result = await response.json();

    ev.updateWith({
      status: 'success',
      shippingOptions: result.supportedShippingOptions,
    });
  }
});

Styling the Payment Request Button Element

Use the following parameters to customize the Element:

elements.create('paymentRequestButton', {
  paymentRequest: paymentRequest,
  style: {
    paymentRequestButton: {
      type: 'default' | 'donate' | 'buy', // default: 'default'
      theme: 'dark' | 'light' | 'light-outline', // default: 'dark'
      height: '64px', // default: '40px', the width is always '100%'
    },
  },
});

elements.create('paymentRequestButton', {
  paymentRequest,
  style: {
    paymentRequestButton: {
      type: 'default' | 'donate' | 'buy', // default: 'default'
      theme: 'dark' | 'light' | 'light-outline', // default: 'dark'
      height: '64px', // default: '40px', the width is always '100%'
    },
  },
});

Using your own button

If you wish to design your own button instead of using the paymentRequestButton Element, you may show your custom button based on the result of paymentRequest.canMakePayment(). Then, use paymentRequest.show() to display the browser interface when your button is clicked.

When building your own button, follow Apple Pay's Human Interface Guidelines.

Verifying your domain with Apple Pay

To use Apple Pay, you need to register with Apple all of your web domains that will show an Apple Pay button. This includes both top-level domains (e.g., stripe.com) and subdomains (e.g., shop.stripe.com). You need to do this for domains you use in both production and testing. When testing locally, use a tool like ngrok to get an HTTPS domain.

Important note: Apple's documentation for Apple Pay on the Web describes their process of "merchant validation", which Stripe handles for you behind the scenes. You do not need to create an Apple Merchant ID, CSR, etc., as described in their documentation, and should instead just follow these steps:

1. Download this domain association file and host it at /.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association on your site.

   For example, if you're registering https://example.com, make that file available at https://example.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.

2. Next, tell Stripe to register your domain with Apple. You can do this by either going to the Apple Pay tab in the Account Settings of your Dashboard, or by directly using the API with your live secret key as shown below.

   Note that we've redacted your live secret key here—head to your Dashboard and replace sk_live_•••••••••••••••••••••••• below with your live secret key. All domains, whether in production or testing, must be registered with your live secret key.

   curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/apple_pay/domains \
    -u "sk_live_••••••••••••••••••••••••": \
    -d domain_name="example.com"

   Stripe.api_key = "sk_live_••••••••••••••••••••••••"
   Stripe::ApplePayDomain.create(domain_name: 'example.com')

   stripe.api_key = "sk_live_••••••••••••••••••••••••"
   stripe.ApplePayDomain.create(
     domain_name="example.com"
   )

   \Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("sk_live_••••••••••••••••••••••••");
   \Stripe\ApplePayDomain::create([
     'domain_name' => 'example.com'
   ]);

   var stripe = require("stripe")("sk_live_••••••••••••••••••••••••");
   stripe.applePayDomains.create({
     domain_name: 'example.com'
   });

   Stripe.apiKey = "sk_live_••••••••••••••••••••••••";
   Map<String, Object> domainParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
   domainParams.put("domain_name", "example.com");
   ApplePayDomain.create(domainParams);

3. Once you've registered your domains, you'll be able to make payments on your site using your live API keys.

Testing your integration

To test your integration you must use HTTPS and a supported browser. If you are using the paymentRequestButton Element within an iframe, the iframe must have the allowpaymentrequest attribute set.

In addition, each payment method and browser has specific requirements:

Safari

• Safari on Mac running macOS Sierra or later.
• An iPhone (not an iPad; Safari doesn't support them yet) with a card in its Wallet paired to your Mac with Handoff, or a Mac with TouchID. Instructions can be found on Apple's Support website.
• Make sure you've verified your domain with Apple Pay.
• When using an iframe, its origin must match the top-level origin. Two pages have the same origin if the protocol, host (full domain name), and port (if one is specified) are the same for both pages.

Mobile Safari

• Mobile Safari on iOS 10.1 or later.
• A card in your Wallet, by going to Settings → Wallet & Apple Pay.
• Make sure you've verified your domain with Apple Pay.
• When using an iframe, its origin must match the top-level origin. Two pages have the same origin if the protocol, host (full domain name), and port (if one is specified) are the same for both pages.

Chrome

• Chrome 61 or newer.
• A saved payment card.

Chrome Mobile for Android

• Chrome 61 or newer.
• An activated Google Pay card or a saved card.

Note that when using Google Pay, including Android Pay, with a test mode key, you might see an "Unrecognized app" warning. This is expected, and does not show up in live mode.

Microsoft Edge for Windows

• Microsoft Edge 16.16299 or newer.
• A saved payment card.

Using the Payment Request Button with Stripe Connect (optional)

Connect platforms that either create direct charges or add the token to a Customer on the connected account must take some additional steps when using the Payment Request Button.

1. On your frontend, before creating the PaymentRequest instance, set the stripeAccount option on the Stripe instance:

   var stripe = Stripe('pk_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx', {
     stripeAccount: 'CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID'
   });

   const stripe = Stripe('pk_test_TYooMQauvdEDq54NiTphI7jx', {
     stripeAccount: 'CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID'
   });

2. Register all domains on which the Payment Request Button will be shown with Apple Pay. You can use the Stripe API for this, using your platform's secret key to authenticate the request, and setting the Stripe-Account header to your connected account's Stripe ID, as described in Authentication with Connect.

   curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/apple_pay/domains \
   -u {PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY}: \
   -H "Stripe-Account: {CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}" \
   -d domain_name="example.com"
