Apple Pay and Google Pay

Someone buying tickets on their phone does not want to type in a card number first. With Apple Pay and Google Pay your visitor pays with their fingerprint or face, and their name and email address come along by themselves.

What your visitor sees

With Stripe there is an Express checkout block at the top of your checkout page, with the Apple Pay button (on an iPhone, iPad or Mac with Safari) or Google Pay (on Android and in Chrome). One tap, confirm on the phone, and the tickets are on their way. They do not need to fill in the form: name, email address and, if you ask for it, phone come from their wallet. Below the button they read that paying this way means accepting your organisation's terms. Anyone who prefers the form simply fills it in below.

With Mollie a black Pay with Apple Pay button appears above the usual pay button on a device that supports Apple Pay. Your visitor fills in their details and lands straight on the Apple Pay screen at Mollie, without first choosing a payment method. Mollie offers Google Pay on its own payment page, if you turn it on there.

On a device without Apple Pay or Google Pay your visitor does not see these buttons. Nothing changes then.

Below the pay button, the Apple Pay and Google Pay logos are shown with the other payment methods.

What you need to do

With Stripe

1. Log in to your Stripe dashboard.
2. Go to Settings → Payment methods.
3. Check that Apple Pay and Google Pay are on. On a new Stripe account they are by default.

That is all. We register your shop address and your custom domain (such as tickets.yourmuseum.com) with Stripe for Apple Pay ourselves, and the file Apple wants to see on your domain is there automatically. This happens the first time someone checks out at that address; the buttons appear from the next visitor on.

With Mollie

1. Log in to your Mollie dashboard.
2. Go to Payment methods and turn on Apple Pay.

With Mollie there is no domain to register: Apple Pay runs on Mollie's own payment page. Within six hours your shop sees that Apple Pay is on, and the button appears.

Good to know

• Your money ends up in the same place as with a regular card payment: on your Stripe or Mollie account. For your provider, an Apple Pay or Google Pay payment is a card payment, with the same fees.
• Under Orders you can see how it was paid: applepay, googlepay or card.
• Express checkout with Stripe does not appear when you ask for something at checkout that a wallet cannot provide: the name of every participant, or the recipient of a gift voucher. Your visitor then pays through the form, where Stripe also offers Apple Pay and Google Pay.
• In your provider's test mode the Stripe buttons do not appear on your checkout page. Simply test with the form.
• A note or an invoice is requested through the form. If your visitor chooses express checkout, they can request an invoice afterwards via the link in their confirmation email.

Frequently asked questions

I do not see the button on my own phone. Is there a card in your wallet? Are you using Safari (Apple Pay) or Chrome (Google Pay)? With Stripe: has anyone checked out at that address yet? The first time, the system registers your domain; try again afterwards.

Do I need to put anything on my own website? No. Even if your shop is embedded in your own website, checkout happens at your shop address, where everything is ready. See Your shop in WordPress.
