Apple Pay #711

In this issue we will track progress for supporting Apple Pay.

jcady commented 10 years ago

We are creating a POS system for merchants to use and are utilizing Balanced for all the payment processing of sales. In addition to processing normal credit cards and bank accounts, we'd like to support Apple Pay. I realize this is probably a unique use case for you guys, as you're probably more concerned with supporting Apple Pay on the app developer side (e.g. integrating payments into apps), which is not what we're trying to do.

I haven't been able to find any documentation as to how to develop for Apple Pay on the POS side of things. It seems like it will work similarly to current NFC payments, but NFC tags like Visa Paywave pass raw credit card data through the tag, which Apple isn't doing. So I'm unsure of if the data that Apple is passing to the sensor can be processed in the same way. My guess is that we would just be shoveling off whatever "credit card" data Apple gives us, treating it like a normal card, and letting the payment processor (Balanced) handle it.

Could anyone comment on this and offer any insights on how we can support Apple Pay on our system with Balanced?

Hi @remear, any ETA on Apple Pay support. Specifically would like to know whether this will work just like tokenizing a credit card or bank account using the iOS API.

+1 would love to see this released. Happy to be a beta tester for my marketplace.

Is there any active development on this?

remear commented 10 years ago

Yes, although there is no official timeline yet. We'll post updates here as soon as we have them.
