Configuring Apple Pay Processing

A successful Apple Pay response to a payment request returns an encrypted payload that contains sensitive payment information. The payment information is extracted and decrypted using
Cybersource
 decryption or merchant decryption.
Before you can process Apple Pay transactions, you must complete these configuration tasks:
Generating and Loading a New Certificate Signing Request
For processing Apple Pay transactions using
Cybersource
 decryption, you must first generate an Apple Pay encryption key on the business portal and load it into the Apple development portal.
For merchant decryption, this configuration task is not needed.

After the payment token is received, the transaction is finalized when you extract and decrypt the payment data.
Cybersource
 decryption and merchant decryption methods consist of different configuration steps.

Generating and Loading a New Certificate Signing Request

This task is required in order to process Apple Pay transactions using

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  11. Test your software by following the steps in Authorization Service.

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    If you are using a
    Cybersource
     test account, you must connect to the Apple sandbox tester account and not to the Apple production system.
    After you complete your testing, you must create a new CSR for the
    Cybersource
     production system, and you must use that CSR for the Apple production system. Until you perform these steps, you cannot enable payments in your iOS application or website.
  12. Repeat Steps 1 through 11 with your
    Cybersource
     production account and the Apple production account.

Configuring Apple Pay Response Handling

Configure one of the following decryption methods that will handle the response payload of a successful Apple Pay transaction.
  1. After the payment token is received, the transaction is finalized when you extract and decrypt the payment data.
    • Cybersource
       Decryption
      :
      This method forwards the encrypted payment data to your order management system. Use the
      Cybersource
       API to submit the authorization request, and include the Base64-encoded value obtained from the
      paymentData
       object in the
      encryptedPayment_data
       field.
      Example of
      Cybersource
      decryption:
      session.onpaymentauthorized = function (event) {
    var paymentDataString = JSON.stringify(event.payment.token.paymentData);
    var paymentDataBase64 = btoa(paymentDataString);
}
    • Merchant Decryption
      :
      This method forwards the encrypted payment data to your order management system to decrypt. Use the
      Cybersource
       API to submit the authorization request and include the decrypted payment data.
      For detailed information about decryption, see Payment Token Format Reference in the Apple Developer Center.
