These guidelines are for businesses that wish to incorporate ApplePay into their websites.
Prohibited Uses
You may not incorporate ApplePay into a website that:
- Violates any law or otherwise fails to comply with legal requirements

- Tobacco, marijuana, or vaping products
- Firearms, weapons, or ammunition

- Promotes hate, violence, or intolerance based on race, age, gender, gender identity, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation
- Involves the purchase or transfer of currency (including cryptocurrencies) unless approved by Apple
- Constitutes a staged digital wallet (e.g., where a second payment transaction is conducted in order to complete the first transaction or where there is a substitute merchant of record in a transaction)
- Engages in fraud

- Shows Apple or its products in a false or derogatory light
Apple reserves the right at any time to disable ApplePay transactions on your websites for any reason it deems prudent.
Design
Your use of ApplePay must adhere to the branding and user interface guidelines described in the ApplePay Marketing Guidelines and Human Interface Guidelines.
ApplePay APIs
If any webpage of your website accepts other forms of third party payment methods, you must also offer ApplePay as a payment option on such webpage, at least on parity with such other payment methods (i.e., presented with the same prominence on such webpage). Furthermore, if you invoke the ‘canMakePaymentWithActiveCard’ API and determine that a user has an active card provisioned into Wallet, you must present ApplePay as the primary – but not necessarily the sole – displayed payment option. For example, you might pre-select ApplePay as the payment option when you display it alongside other options.
You may not use the ApplePay for any purpose other than to enable or facilitate an ApplePay transaction from your website.
