Deliver Frictionless Payments With Apple Pay

Bookuvai integrates Apple Pay for one-tap checkout on Safari, iOS apps, and watchOS — reducing cart abandonment with biometric authentication.

API: Apple Pay API (Payments)

The Apple Pay API enables secure, one-tap payments using Face ID or Touch ID on Apple devices. Bookuvai integrates Apple Pay on the web via the Apple Pay JS API and in native iOS apps via PassKit. We handle merchant identity verification, payment session creation, token decryption, and processor integration so your customers enjoy frictionless checkout without entering card details.

  • Apple Pay on the Web: Implement Apple Pay JS API for Safari-based checkout with merchant validation, payment sheet customization, and token handling.
  • iOS App Payments: Integrate PassKit framework for in-app Apple Pay with support for physical goods, digital content, and subscriptions.
  • Merchant Verification: Configure Apple Pay merchant identity with domain verification, certificate management, and payment processing setup.
  • Token Processing: Decrypt Apple Pay payment tokens server-side and process through your payment gateway (Stripe, Braintree, Adyen, etc.).

Use Cases

  • E-commerce Express Checkout: One-tap Apple Pay button on product pages and cart for instant checkout without form filling, reducing abandonment.
