Why Apple Pay Is Not Showing Up in WooCommerce: Top 8 Reasons

Apple Pay offers lightning-fast checkout, but it can be frustrating when it doesn’t show up. This is a common issue in WooCommerce stores using Stripe to power Apple Pay.

The good news? It’s usually easy to diagnose and fix. Let’s dive into all the possible causes and what you must do to resolve them.

1. Your Device or Browser Is Not Compatible with Apple Pay

Problem

One of the most overlooked reasons why Apple Pay is not showing in WooCommerce is that you're testing on a device or browser that doesn't support it.

How to fix

Apple Pay only works under specific conditions. If even one of these conditions isn’t met, the Apple Pay button won’t appear, no matter how perfectly you’ve configured your Stripe setup or plugin settings.

Ensure you’re using a compatible Apple device

• iPhone: Models with Face ID or Touch ID, excluding iPhone 5s
  
• iPad: iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad, and iPad mini models equipped with Touch ID or Face ID
  
• Apple Watch: Series 1 and later
  
• Mac: Models with Touch ID, those introduced in 2012 or later paired with an Apple Pay-enabled iPhone or Apple Watch, and Macs with Apple silicon paired with a Magic Keyboard with Touch ID
  
• Apple Vision Pro: Supports Apple Pay for purchases and payments

Web browsers that support Apple Pay

• Safari: Apple’s default browser supports Apple Pay on compatible devices
  
• Third-party browsers: With iOS 18 and iPadOS 18, Apple Pay has extended its functionality to third-party browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge.

If Apple Pay is visible there but not on your site, then it’s likely a site-specific setup issue.

If it’s not visible there either, your device or browser doesn’t support Apple Pay.

Alternatively, the Stripe Payment Gateway for WooCommerce plugin also lets you test the visibility of the Apple Pay button on your browser.

This is how you can fix the WooCommerce Apple Pay not showing issue on your device or browser.

2. Your Store’s Currency or Country Is Not Supported

Problem

Even if Apple Pay is correctly configured in Stripe and enabled in your WooCommerce payment settings, the button won’t appear if your store uses an unsupported currency or operates in an unsupported country.

How to fix

Apple Pay is supported in many countries, but not all. The option won't be available if your Stripe account is registered in a country where Apple Pay doesn’t work.

Check if your store’s base location is in a supported country

List of supported currencies

Apple Pay supports a wide range of currencies, but the specific currencies available depend on the country or region where Apple Pay is offered. 

Some commonly supported currencies are:

• US Dollar (USD)
• Canadian Dollar (CAD)
• British Pound Sterling (GBP)
• Euro (EUR)
• Australian Dollar (AUD)
• New Zealand Dollar (NZD)
• Singapore Dollar (SGD)
• Japanese Yen (JPY), and many more.

Ensure that your WooCommerce store’s base country and its currency are compatible with Apple Pay to show up.

3. Your Domain is Not Verified in Stripe for Apple Pay

Problem

If Apple Pay is not showing up on your WooCommerce checkout or related pages, and you see a message that says, Your domain is not verified in Stripe. This means Stripe cannot enable Apple Pay on your website.

How to fix

Apple requires each website domain using Apple Pay to be verified to prevent fraud and ensure secure transactions.

Re-verify the domain for Apple Pay 

• Go to Stripe settings in the WordPress dashboard. Under the Express Checkout tab, click on the ‘Re-verify Domain’ button.

This option will help you verify your domain with a pop-up message ‘Domain verification successful’ within a few seconds.

Manually verify the domain for Apple Pay

In case the domain verification fails, manually add your domain for Apple Pay verification from the Stripe dashboard.

• Log in to your Stripe account and click on Payments under Settings.

• Under the Payment Methods tab, scroll down to the Wallets section and click on the ‘Configure domains’ button under Apple Pay.

• Click on + Add a new domain and enter your website URL.

• Clicking on ‘Save’ will add your domain to the Payment method domains page in Stripe.

Make sure to test the Apple Pay method in supported browsers and devices to check whether it shows up in your WooCommerce store.

4. Apple Pay is Disabled in Stripe

Problem

You might assume that once Stripe is connected to your WooCommerce store, Apple Pay is automatically active, but that’s not always the case.

Apple Pay must be manually enabled in your Stripe Dashboard before it can appear on your checkout page.

How to fix

Stripe uses the Payment Request API, which powers the Apple Pay button. Without enabling it, WooCommerce will not show the Apple Pay option at checkout.

Enable Apple Pay in Stripe

• Log in to your Stripe dashboard and click on Payments under Settings.

• Click on Payment Methods to see all the options that can be enabled via Stripe.

• Scroll down, and you’ll see Apple Pay under Wallets. Click ‘Turn on’ to enable the Apple Pay express checkout method.

This is how you can enable Apple Pay from your Stripe account.

5. Apple Pay Button Is Not Enabled in Your Stripe Plugin

Problem

Even with Stripe enabled, Apple Pay won’t show up unless the Payment Request Button setting is enabled in the Stripe Gateway for WooCommerce plugin.

How to fix

The WooCommerce Stripe Payment Gateway plugin has separate settings for express checkout. Just enabling Apple Pay in Stripe isn’t enough; you must also turn on the Apple Pay button from your WooCommerce payment settings.

Enable Apple Pay in WooCommerce Stripe Plugin

• Navigate to WooCommerce ⇨ Settings ⇨ Payments and click on ‘Manage’ next to Stripe Gateway - Credit Card (Stripe).

•  Hit the ‘Enable Express Checkout’ option under the Express Checkout tab.

Save the changes when done. This will enable Apple Pay in your WooCommerce Stripe plugin.

6. Conflicts with Theme or Other Plugins

Problem

Sometimes everything is set up perfectly: Stripe is enabled, your device supports Apple Pay, and your store uses a supported currency.

Still, the Apple Pay button doesn't show up. In many cases, the culprit is a conflict with your theme or another plugin interfering with how Stripe injects the Apple Pay button.

How to fix

The Apple Pay button in WooCommerce is typically rendered using JavaScript injected by the Stripe plugin. Apple Pay won’t show up in case:

• Your WordPress theme is poorly coded
• Another plugin disables Stripe’s payment request buttons
• JavaScript is broken or blocked

Here’s how you can fix this issue.

Check the browser console

Use the Inspect developer tool to look for errors in your web browsers. If there are errors related to Stripe.js, paymentRequest not defined, or JavaScript not loading, etc., it’s likely a conflict or script blockage.

For this, you can exclude Stripe scripts from optimization or whitelist URLs from security plugins.

Switch to a default theme

Temporarily activate a default WooCommerce-friendly theme like Storefront or Twenty Twenty Five. 

Then, check if the Apple Pay button shows up. If it does, your current theme is likely blocking Stripe’s button from rendering.

Deactivate all other plugins

Temporarily deactivate all the plugins except WooCommerce and the Stripe Gateway for WooCommerce plugin.

Then, test again. If Apple Pay now appears, one of the plugins you deactivated will be the culprit.

You can reactivate plugins one at a time by refreshing your site and testing if the Apple Pay button disappears. This way, you can find the conflicting plugin.

7. Your Site Is Not Fully Secure (No HTTPS)

Problem

Apple Pay only works over a secure HTTPS connection. If your site isn’t secured with an SSL certificate, Apple Pay won’t be displayed, even if everything else is set up correctly.

How to fix

Apple Pay handles sensitive customer information and enforces strict security standards. It includes a valid SSL certificate, and all pages must load over HTTPS.

Install an SSL certificate

Most web hosting providers offer free SSL certificates via Let’s Encrypt or similar when purchasing a hosting plan.

Once you’ve got it, make sure to:

• Check your hosting dashboard, such as cPanel, WHM, etc.
• Locate the certificate code, copy it, and install it

If you’re not sure, contact your hosting provider to help you set up.

Force HTTPS across the entire site

Use a plugin like Really Simple SSL or SSL Insecure Content Fixer to redirect HTTP to HTTPS. It can also help fix mixed content issues.

This way, you can ensure every page is fully secure. 

Update all internal links

Make sure all internal links, image paths, and scripts in your theme or plugins are using https:// instead of http://. 

8. Apple Pay Is Showing Only on Certain Pages

Problem

Sometimes, the Apple Pay button may show on the product or cart page but not on the checkout page (or vice versa).

How to fix

You can choose the Apple Pay button to show on different pages in WooCommerce. If only some of the pages are specified, the button will only show up there.

Configure the display location of Apple Pay 

• Navigate to WooCommerce ⇨ Settings ⇨ Payments and click on ‘Manage’ next to Stripe Gateway - Credit Card (Stripe).
  
• Under the Express Checkout tab, select the pages on which you want to show the Apple Pay button.

You can even customize the text and theme of your Apple Pay button.

Not only that, but you can also customize the button position, separator text, width, alignment, etc., for your product, cart, and checkout pages.

Save your changes when you are done.

This will solve the Apple Pay issue of not showing on some WooCommerce pages.

Test Apple Pay in Supported Browsers and Devices to Check If The Issue Is Resolved 

Once you’ve followed all the steps above, it’s important to test your checkout and payments functionality to check if the Apple Pay issue is fixed.

For that, navigate to WooCommerce Stripe settings and enable the Test or Admin Only Test mode.

Add a product to your shopping cart and head to the checkout page. Verify if you see an Apple Pay express checkout button there.

If you use FunnelKit Cart for WooCommerce, you’ll be able to see the Apple Pay button inside your shopping cart:

If you don’t see the express checkout button, this means it’s not configured on your device, and we recommend you follow the instructions above from pt. 1 to 8.

Bonus: Supercharge Express Checkout with a High-Converting WooCommerce Checkout Page

• Enable inline express gateways: Let Apple Pay work like a traditional payment method by showing it inline with other payment gateways. This gives users the flexibility to choose express checkout without forcing them to use it upfront.
  
• Add Apple Pay to the sliding cart: Want to make your buying journey even faster? Add Apple Pay directly to the WooCommerce side cart. This lets shoppers complete their purchase instantly without ever visiting the checkout page.
  
• Run A/B tests: A/B test different placements of your express checkout buttons and make profitable decisions based on real-time insights.
