If you expect to see Apple Pay as a payment method option but don’t, try the following steps:
-
Make sure you’re using Safari as your web browser.
-
Make sure you have Apple Pay set up and are logged into it.
-
Visit the Stripe documentation on the payment request button and make sure you see the Apple Pay button at the top of the page. If you see an error, follow the instructions in the error message.
