How do I determine if my user's device supports Apple Pay on my web app?

[packet...@gmail.com]

I've seen documentation here on how to verify the user device supports Apple Pay, but it only applies to iOS. I need to check this on a web app. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

To accept Apple Pay on the Web, you would use the Payment Request button and you can find its documentation here: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/elements/payment-request-button 

This lets you accept Apple Pay on your website along with other payment methods such as Google Pay or Microsoft Pay. You don't need to anything specific to detect if someone supports Apple Pay or not as the button will do that for you and only appear if they do.

Hope this helps!

Hey Remi, thanks for the help. In my case, there are some UI-dependent parts of my app that change based on Apple Pay availability. Is there any way to know about Apple Pay support specifically for the current device?

Hey Seth,

You can use the `canMakePayment()` method that will let you know if Apple Pay is supported on their device and it's documented here: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/reference#payment-request-can-make-payment It has some limitations on which browser supports the feature but it should suit your needs.

Best,

Remi
