Apple Pay offers an accelerated checkout experience. Shoppers pay with their saved card, billing address, and shipping address in a single step — no manual entry required. You do not pay any extra fees for accepting Apple Pay through Airwallex.

Before you begin

  • You have enabled Airwallex - Cards as a payment method. Follow the Cards setup guide if you have not done so.
  • Your store has SSL activated (your URL must start with https://).
  • Your store adheres to the Apple Pay API Acceptable Use Guidelines .
  • Apple Pay is activated as a payment method in your Airwallex account.

Apple Pay Activated on Airwallex

Enable Apple Pay

  1. In the WordPress Admin, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Airwallex.

  2. Select the Express Checkout tab.

  3. Check Enable Airwallex Express Checkout.

  4. Under Express Checkout, select Apple Pay (you can also enable Google Pay at the same time).

  5. The plugin automatically registers your domain with Apple for Apple Pay. If the automated registration fails, follow the Apple developer instructions to register manually.

  6. Configure the following display and appearance settings:

    SettingDescription
    Show Button OnWhere to display the Apple Pay button: Checkout, Product Page, Cart. Select all placements to maximize conversion.

    Call To ActionButton label: Only Icon, Buy, Donate, or Book.
    Button ThemeDark or Light.
  7. Click Save Changes.

Domain must match your onboarding domain

Apple Pay uses the domain you provided during Airwallex onboarding. If your WooCommerce store uses a different domain, contact your Account Manager or [email protected] to have it updated.

Card scheme configuration

Apple Pay supports the card schemes activated in your Airwallex account, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, UnionPay, Discover, and Diners Club.

Activate schemes in the Airwallex WebApp under Payments > Payment Methods. If a scheme is not activated, shoppers can select that card in their Apple Pay wallet but the payment will fail at processing.

Shopper experience

The Apple Pay button appears on the pages you selected (Product Page, Cart, Checkout). The button style reflects your Call To Action and Button Theme settings.
