ApplePay attempt: Unable to decrypt data.

[mboyersgwg]

I work on an application that supports multiple merchants. For one of them, I am getting the following error when trying to process an ApplePay transaction:

There was an error processing the payment data. Unable to decrypt data.

Here is an example of the payload I'm sending:

In the request, I've verified that I can successfully base 64 decode the contents of dataValue without issue.

I am not sure how to proceed here.

In doing more testing, it looks like this can happen if the merchant id that is used in the Authorize.net account does not match the merchant id set up for them in their Apple account.

I have been able to reproduce this in with a sandbox environment, I will respond here again after working with the owner of the Authorize.net account.

I've verified that there was an issue with the CSR that the owner of the authorize.net account sent me. They likely typed in their merchant id incorrectly. I will close this issue.
