Real-World Payments (Apple Pay / Wallet / Tap to Pay)

You MUST use this skill when accepting ANY real-world payment — physical goods, services, donations, ticketing, loyalty cards, contactless card-present, or post-purchase order tracking. NOT for in-app purchase or digital content.

When to Use

Use this skill when you encounter:

• Adding Apple Pay to an iOS / iPadOS / macOS / Catalyst / visionOS / watchOS app
• Adding Apple Pay to a website (Apple Pay JS or W3C Payment Request API)
• Building Wallet passes (boarding passes, event tickets, coupons, loyalty cards, store cards)
• Accepting contactless card payments on iPhone (Tap to Pay on iPhone / ProximityReader)
• Surfacing post-purchase order tracking in Wallet (Orders in Wallet, FinanceKitUI add-order helpers)
• Issuer or bank card provisioning into Wallet (issuer extensions)
• Apple Pay merchant ID, processing certificate, or merchant identity certificate setup
• Pass Type ID or Order Type ID certificates and PKCS #7 signing chains
• Tap to Pay managed entitlement (com.apple.developer.proximity-reader.payment.acceptance)
• App Review rejections that mention payments, IAP, Apple Pay, Wallet, or Acceptable Use Guidelines
• Domain verification for Apple Pay on the web (.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.txt)
