What is an Apple Pay certificate?
Apple Pay certificate is a certificate that would be generated from the Apple Developer portal, to be used for Apple Pay transactions.
Why would you need an Apple Pay certificate for Knet?
Apple Pay allows users to store payment information on their device and use it to quickly purchase goods and services on the KNet Page (Managed by PayTabs). Your page creates a payment request that Apple Pay transfers between Knet (Through PayTabs API), the Apple Pay servers, and your payment provider. Apple Pay leverages the device’s Secure Element to help protect the user’s payment information.
What does the Apple Pay certificate is used for?
Knet is using this certificate to decrypt the Apple Pay token, which is included in the payment request sent to Knet (Through PayTabs API)
The types of Payment requests that require this configuration include all PayTabs SDKs and the Apple Pay direct payment request, Knet( different configuration steps ), while the Hosted Payment Page doesn't require this configuration since PayTabs is using its own Apple Pay certification in the Hosted Payment Page
Important Notes:
- Apple Pay via KNet is only supported through the direct ApplePay API ( kuwait Only )
