The headless JS integration gives you full control over the Apple Pay button and payment flow. You initialise the Razorpay JS object with the amount and currency at start, then check eligibility and trigger the payment yourself. Know more about Apple Pay.
Availability in MalaysiaApple Pay on Custom Checkout is available on the web, on Safari (iPhone, iPad and Mac) and Chrome (Mac). It is not yet available for native mobile app integrations, such as the iOS Custom SDK or React Native. Apple Pay does not support recurring payments, and there is no Test Mode — your first Apple Pay payment is a live one.
Integrating Apple Pay using the headless JS SDK offers you the following advantages:
  • Full control: Render your own button or let Razorpay render one for you using mount().
  • Flexible initialisation: Pass amount and currency at init time when the cart total is known upfront.
  • Device-aware eligibility: Use canMakePayment() to check Apple Pay support before showing the button.
  • Event-driven results: Handle payment success, failure and errors through event listeners.
  • No extra script for existing merchants: The SDK ships with the Custom Checkout script you already use.

Prerequisites

Before starting the integration, ensure you have the following:
  • Apple Pay enabled on your account, along with every domain your customers see at checkout. Contact the Support team to enable it.
  • An existing Razorpay Curlec Custom Checkout integration.
  • Cards enabled on your Razorpay Curlec account in Live Mode. Apple Pay is processed as a card payment.
  • Your API Key Id available. Know how to generate API Keys from the Dashboard.
  • An HTTPS-enabled domain (TLS 1.2 or higher). Apple Pay requires a secure context and will not function over HTTP.
  • Server-side capability to create orders via the Razorpay Curlec Orders API.

Integration Steps

Follow the steps given below.
Apple Pay appears only on domains we have added for your account. Before you go live, send our Support team every domain your customers see in the address bar at checkout, one per line. For example, payment.store.com and checkout.store.com are two separate domains.You do not need to host a verification file or verify domains on the Dashboard. We register your domains with Apple and confirm once Apple Pay is live.
Handy TipsA missing domain is the most common reason the Apple Pay button does not appear. When you add a new website, send us its address — Apple Pay will not appear on it until we add it.
Include the Razorpay Custom Checkout script in your page’s <head> tag.
HTML
Handy TipLoad this script on every page where you intend to use the Apple Pay integration. Existing Custom Checkout merchants already load this script.
Both razorpay.js (headless Apple Pay) and checkout.js (Standard Checkout) register their constructor on the same window.Razorpay global. If your page uses both, whichever script loads last overwrites the other’s constructor on window.Razorpay. Capture the headless constructor as soon as razorpay.js loads, and let checkout.js load after it so window.Razorpay is restored to Standard Checkout’s constructor for the rest of your page.
HTML
If you cannot guarantee this load order (for example, scripts injected dynamically or loaded in parallel), queue the captures instead and resolve them once both scripts have loaded:
JavaScript
Use window.__rzpApplePay (instead of window.Razorpay) to instantiate the headless Apple Pay object in Step 3, and leave window.Razorpay untouched for your existing Standard Checkout code.
JavaScript
Pass the amount and currency when you initialise Razorpay. Use the on_payment_initiate_create_order callback to create the order on your server right before the payment sheet opens.
JavaScript
Watch Out!on_payment_initiate_create_order is where you create the Razorpay order. You must call razorpay.set('order_id', ...) inside it before it resolves — the payment cannot be authorised without an order id.
Register event listeners for payment success and failure.
JavaScript
Check whether the customer’s device supports Apple Pay using canMakePayment(), then trigger the payment using one of the following options.
After a successful payment (the payment.success event fires), verify the payment signature on your server before fulfilling the order.Send the following fields to your backend:
  • razorpay_payment_id
  • razorpay_order_id
  • razorpay_signature
Verify them using the standard Razorpay signature verification process.
Watch Out!Never fulfil an order based solely on the client-side payment.success event. Signature verification ensures the payment was genuinely processed by Razorpay and has not been tampered with.

Error Handling Reference

Every failure — from payment.failure events or a caught exception — carries the same shape:
JavaScript

Quick Checklist

  • Load https://checkout.razorpay.com/v1/razorpay.js
  • Initialise new Razorpay({ amount, currency, ... })
  • Implement order creation inside on_payment_initiate_create_order
  • Wire up payment.success / payment.failure handling
  • Test canMakePayment() handling for devices/browsers where Apple Pay is not available
  • Verify the payment signature on your server before fulfilling the order
