Hi @AladdinHasan,

Thanks for getting in touch!

How many different customers have reported this Apple Pay error to you? It looks like you've replicated the error with your own Apple Pay account here, is that correct? Can you also confirm which payment gateway you are currently using?

Since the shipping (and billing) addresses used for Apple Pay are pulled in from a customer's own Apple Pay settings, we'll want to look here to resolve the issue.

  • From your mobile device, visit Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Shipping address (under ‘Transaction Defaults’).
  • Is there an address listed here?  
  • When you enter your home address into Google Maps, is it formatted the same way? 

Thanks so much!

Hi June

 

Thanks for your feedback, I am using STRIPE as payment gateway and many users here reported same issue.

 

  • From your mobile device, visit Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Shipping address  (I am using my own Apple Pay account on multiple other shops and working perfectly)
  • When you enter your home address into Google Maps, is it formatted the same way? (yes same address for both)

Thanks @AladdinHasan, that's super helpful!

Have you had any luck processing a payment via Apple Pay since we last spoke? If not:

  • Are you able to complete your checkout (for the same product and same shipping address) using any other method of payment? 
  • When you proceed through your checkout flow, are you able to select a shipping rate for your order? 

I ask because sometimes what we'll find with Apple Pay is that if there are no available shipping rates, a customer will be met with Apple Pay's own error, as opposed to our standard "This order can’t be shipped to your location" or "There are no shipping methods available for your cart or address". I do find it curious that we're being told the shipping address itself is invalid, as you've said you've had no issue making purchases with your Apple Pay account elsewhere.

In any case I am more than happy to continue troubleshooting with you here and also recommend that you connect with Stripe's support team to rule out any potential account setup issues that could be contributing to what we're seeing. Have a wonderful day!

Hello,

 

I do have the same issue with our website www.yallacase.com , ApplePay still asks for shipping location when we select United Arab Emirates.

When we select shipping location to any other countries than UAE, Apple Pay works perfectly.

Would you please help us?

I have the same issue and have reported this a long time ago, however there's no solution from Shopify!

I also had the same problem with Apple Pay returning the "Shipping Address Invalid" error message while testing my Stripe setup before going live but I managed to solve it after I launched.

 

Less than 5 minutes after my site went live, I thought I should try one more thing before settling on completely ditching Apple Pay for my Shopify store.

 

I know Apple devices are all about regions. It depends on which region you have setup your device at while you first went through the setup process. If memory serves me well then your region is under  Settings > General > Language and Region. That's where your device region is at. Then, to solve this shipping address invalid issue, on Settings > Wallet & Apple Pay > Transaction Defaults > Shipping Address add an address in the same region of your device setup. 

 

That did actually work for me and I was able to move away from the "Shipping Address Invalid" message.

 

That's as far as I went with testing.

 

However, the question remains, do all your customers have their regions setup in their countries of residence or their original countries? That leads to another question, which is how will your courier receive the shipping address data if your region is not stup in your country of delivery.

 

I'm still trying to figure out whether it's possible to test an order payment with Apple Pay and check with my courier what shipping data they receive but I couldn't find a way and I if it's possible then I'm yet to find it.

 

Hope this helps

Hello Ben, sorry this was written 1 year ago, and I hope you get this, I want to understand more about how you manage to overcome this problem. my location and my shipping address are both in UAE, but Apple Pay still does not work. 

 

so was your advice to change the country ? usu another country as location and as shipping address?

 

waiting for your reply

Hello Firas

we don’t have Pro Shopify and it’s working without issue for us. Can you try to make a purchase (not to pay) just to see if you have the error on our website YallaCase

Same issue  is in your website , if I put the area anything but city, I will get this error . 

if you put  the area in the shipping ( Dubai , Abu Dhabi , Sharjah , etc… ) this it will work 

 

it very confusing for UAE customers, which will cause dropout.

The Shopify developer who did the mapping with Apple Pay for UAE , is an Xxxxx with all my respect  . Shopify doesn’t want to do anything about it 

 

so upsetting

I understand your frustration but it’s not Shopify the issue. Are you using stripe for the payment gateway ?

Hi , 

I assume you don’t live in UAE 

you put the area = Dubai , which in this case your Apple Pay will be successful.

 

As a customer  in UAE 

Dubai is not an area , it is a city. 

area could be = Barsha , downtown Dubai , Dubai marina etc….

 

customer in UAE will not use  , Dubai as area and Dubai as a city. 

 

Hope it is clear now 

 

if you were able to fix that , please let us know 

 

thank You

Hi Firas,

 

Any update on this issue? I got a complaint for a customer with the same error. We are in the UAE. I've also experienced the same error across several other stores.

 

Thank you
