Why is Apple Pay not working on my website?

Topic summary

Multiple Shopify store owners report Apple Pay failing at checkout with the error message: “There was an issue with apple pay. Try again or use a different payment method.” The issue affects multiple users and devices, ruling out individual device problems.

Key Details:

  • Apple Pay works on other websites but fails specifically on affected Shopify stores
  • The problem persists across different customers’ devices
  • Issue appears to have started recently for some merchants who previously had working Apple Pay

Troubleshooting Attempts:

  • Shopify Support has been unable to resolve the issue
  • Apple Pay Support redirects users back to Shopify
  • One merchant hired a Shopify developer who also couldn’t identify the cause
  • Suggested solutions (deactivating/reactivating, fresh setup) have not resolved the problem

Current Status:
The issue remains unresolved with no clear solution. At least one merchant has disabled Apple Pay entirely. Shopify staff indicate they cannot troubleshoot third-party gateway issues, creating a support loop between Shopify and Apple. Multiple merchants continue seeking help with no successful resolution reported.

We are having the same issue on our shopify site. Never had an issue before but I never thought about testing it today but not because of your post I tested it and it didn’t work. Then I found your post.
