Apple Pay on Shoporama

Apple Pay lets your customers pay with Face ID or Touch ID on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It’s fast, secure, and can significantly boost conversion rates during mobile checkout. In this guide, we’ll explain how to set up Apple Pay in your Shoporama online store.

How Apple Pay Works with Shoporama

Shoporama forwards the payment to the gateway you’ve selected. The gateway displays a payment window to the customer, and if you’ve enabled Apple Pay through the gateway, it will appear as an option alongside cards, MobilePay, and other methods. The customer confirms the payment with Face ID or Touch ID, and the order is marked as paid in Shoporama. In other words, you don’t need to do anything in the Shoporama admin panel itself to offer Apple Pay.

Gateways in Shoporama that support Apple Pay

• QuickPay combined with Clearhaus as the acquirer
• PensoPay (same infrastructure as QuickPay)
• Flatpay (online payments via Frisbii)
• Stripe is activated directly in the Stripe Dashboard
• Nets Easy via the Nets Easy portal
• Mollie via the Mollie Dashboard

If you use ePay (Bambora/Worldline), OnPay, or DIBS, Apple Pay is typically not available as a mobile payment method. If you want to offer Apple Pay, you can switch to one of the gateways listed above. Read more in our article on accepting online payments.

Enable Apple Pay in QuickPay (with Clearhaus)

1. Log in to QuickPay Manager
2. Make sure you have Clearhaus as your payment processor. Apple Pay in QuickPay runs through Clearhaus.
3. Enable Apple Pay in QuickPay and follow their instructions to verify your domain with Apple. This typically involves placing a small verification file in the root directory of your online store.
4. In Shoporama, go to Settings → Payment Gateways, open your QuickPay gateway, and add "apple-pay" to the "Payment Methods" field (or leave the field blank to display all active methods from QuickPay). If you want a separate Apple Pay button at checkout, create an additional QuickPay gateway with only " apple-pay."

Enable Apple Pay in PensoPay

1. Log in to app.pensopay.com
2. Enable Apple Pay and verify your domain following PensoPay’s instructions
3. In Shoporama, go to Settings → Payment Gateways, open your PensoPay gateway, and add "apple-pay" in the "Payment Methods" field, or leave the field blank to allow all active methods.

Enable Apple Pay in Stripe

1. Log in to your Stripe Dashboard
2. Go to "Payment Methods" and enable Apple Pay
3. Stripe handles domain verification automatically when you connect your Shoporama store via Stripe Connect

You can read more about setup in our article on Stripe as a payment gateway.

Enable Apple Pay in Nets Easy

1. Log in to the Nets Easy portal
2. Enable Apple Pay under payment methods
3. Follow Nets’ instructions for domain verification

Enable Apple Pay in Mollie

1. Log in to your Mollie Dashboard
2. Enable Apple Pay under "Payment Methods"
3. Mollie handles domain verification itself

How to check that Apple Pay is working

1. Open your online store in Safari on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac
2. Add an item to your cart and proceed to checkout
3. Select your payment gateway and look for the Apple Pay button in the payment window
4. Note: Apple Pay does not appear in Chrome, Firefox, or on Android. It is only visible on Apple devices using Safari.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to change anything in the Shoporama admin to display Apple Pay?

No. Apple Pay appears automatically at checkout as soon as your gateway sends it as an option. However, check the “Payment Methods” field for your gateway in Shoporama. If there’s a comma-separated list, the Apple Pay code must be included (apple-pay in QuickPay, applepay in PensoPay and Mollie), or leave the field blank so that all methods are displayed.

Can Android customers see Apple Pay?

No. Apple Pay is only available on Apple devices in Safari (iPhone, iPad, and Mac). Android customers will typically see Google Pay or MobilePay instead, if you’ve enabled them.

Is there an extra cost to offer Apple Pay?

Apple itself does not charge the store a fee. You pay the standard card transaction fee to your payment gateway and acquirer, just as you would for a card payment. If you use Stripe via Shoporama, a platform fee of 0.5 percent (min. 1 kr.) per transaction is also applied.

How do Apple Pay payments appear in your accounting records?

In your accounting system, Apple Pay payments appear as regular card payments from your acquirer (typically Clearhaus, Nets, or Stripe). There is no separate settlement stream from Apple, so you don’t need to change anything in your chart of accounts.

Why don’t I see Apple Pay when I test my own store?

First, make sure you’re testing in Safari on an Apple device. Next, verify that Apple Pay is enabled with your payment gateway, that your domain is verified with Apple, and that the Apple Pay code isn’t excluded in the “Payment Methods” field in Shoporama. Finally, the device you’re testing on must have a card added to Apple Wallet.

My payment gateway isn’t on the list—can I still use Apple Pay?

If you use ePay, OnPay, or DIBS, you generally cannot offer Apple Pay. Switch to QuickPay, PensoPay, Flatpay, Stripe, Nets Easy, or Mollie if you’d like to offer Apple Pay as a payment option.

What should I do if Apple asks for a domain verification file?

Your payment gateway will send you a small text file that you need to place in the root directory of your domain under /.well-known/. Contact support if you need help placing the file in the correct location. For Stripe and Mollie, verification happens automatically without you having to do anything.

Do I need to do anything special in my theme to display an Apple Pay button?

No. The Apple Pay button itself appears in the payment window provided by the gateway, not directly on your product pages. If you’d like to indicate that Apple Pay is an accepted payment method in the footer, many Shoporama themes allow you to enable an Apple Pay logo in the theme settings for accepted credit cards. This is purely cosmetic and does not activate the payment method itself.

Where can I find statistics on how many customers pay with Apple Pay?

Shoporama displays the payment method for each individual order. If you want an overall view of the Apple Pay share, you’ll find the best reports directly through your payment gateway (QuickPay Manager, Stripe Dashboard, Mollie Dashboard, etc.), where Apple Pay is listed as a separate method in the transaction reports.
