Important Notes

  1. Terms of Service: Apple Pay cannot be enabled until you agree to the updated Terms of Service.
     
  2. Apple Devices Only:
    • Apple Pay will only appear for donors using an Apple device or the Safari browser.
    • It will not display on non-Apple devices or browsers.
       
  3. Recurring Gifts & Pledges:
    • Recurring gifts, pledges, and partial payments cannot be processed using Apple Pay.
    • If a donor selects a Recurring Gift, Apple Pay will automatically be removed as a payment option.
       
  4. Embedded Forms on Your Website won't Display Apple Pay:

    • Apple Pay is supported on Direct Form links only. If your Giving Form is embedded on your website, Apple Pay will not appear.

      Why? For Apple Pay to appear, Apple requires the domain (or subdomain) to be registered with Apple. Ministry Brands has registered our direct forms URL, but unfortunately, we cannot register your website domain on your behalf.
