How To Add Apple Pay to WordPress

With WPForms, you won’t need a separate Apple Pay plugin for WordPress. You can create your form and accept payments from so many different payment gateways all under WPForms itself.

Added to that, here are a few highlights you’ll love:

Accepting Apple Pay Payments in WordPress

We’ll walk you through the process of using Stripe with WPForms to accept payments through Apple Pay, with no steps skipped!

Step 1: Install WPForms

The first step is to head over to the WPForms website and sign up for an account. Then you can download and install WPForms on your WordPress site.

Step 2: Activate Apple Pay using Stripe

To enable Apple Pay on your site, we’ll be using the Stripe addon inside WPForms. This lets you display the Apple Pay payment option and collect secure payments through Apple Pay from your customers.

In your WordPress admin panel, from the sidebar menu click on WPForms » Addons.

Then, a screen displaying the available addons will appear. Find the Stripe addon and install it.

After that, the plugin activates without any additional steps. In case it hasn’t been activated, all you have to do is click the slider button to enable it.

Once the Stripe addon has successfully been installed in WPForms, just connect it to your account.

Navigate to WPForms » Settings from your WordPress dashboard to link these two together.

After clicking on Settings you will see your account settings for WPForms, and a series of tabs across the top of the screen. Next, you’ll select the Payments tab.

Clicking on the Payments tab will show you an option to set your currency. Select the one that best fits your market. For instance, if your business is based in America, you’ll want to select US Dollar (USD).

Next, because the Stripe addon is installed, you’ll see a button here to connect your Stripe account to WPForms.

After clicking on Connect With Stripe, you’ll be asked to enter your login information and other details needed to connect your Stripe account to WPForms. This step allows you to receive payments to your bank account.

Once your account is connected, if this has been done successfully you’ll see the blue button change into a confirmation.

Now that your account is connected, you’ll want to browse the Stripe settings. Here, you’ll notice the setting called Credit Card Field Mode. You’ll see 2 options available: Card Element and Payment Element.

To activate Apple Pay, simply choose your Payment Element.

You’ll have over 25 payment methods to choose from, and that includes Apple Pay.

The next step is to begin designing your form to accept payments.

Step 3: Design Your Form to Accept Apple Pay

Get started with creating your payment form by clicking on the Add New button at the top of your WPForms dashboard. Or just click on WPForms » Add New in your WordPress menu.

This will open up a template library where you can add a name for your form. Then you can browse and choose one of WPForms’ fully customizable templates or you can always build a form from scratch too.

You can choose a template like the billing/order form as it will have the fields you need to accept payments through Apple Pay.

Next up, drag and drop the desired elements you want to use into the form builder. So for instance, in this example below, we’ve added a new dropdown menu to our form by simply selecting it from the menu and dragging it into the form design.

While you’re customizing the form, you’ll add the Stripe checkout to it. From the Payment Fields section on the left, drag and drop the Stripe Credit Card field into your form,

If you haven’t enabled the Stripe addon, you won’t see this form field here. So make sure you’ve completed the previous steps we covered that show you how to enable Stripe and Apple Pay.

Some more options here to consider adding to your form: you can create a custom list of products with a fixed price. Or, if you’re a charity, you can let supporters decide how much they want to contribute.

Here are a few guides you can follow for more detailed steps on customizing your form:

Also, since you’re accepting payments online, you most likely need to be GDPR compliant. WPForms lets you add this in easily.

If everything on your form looks good, you can turn on Stripe payments.

Step 4: Turn On Stripe Payments

Now you’ve designed your form and add the Stripe field. Before you publish the form, we need to enable the payment integration on this form.

Keep in mind that this is different from the payment options you created earlier. While that was a general setting you created for WPForms on the whole, this Payments tab here is a setting specific to this form.

This basically tells WPForms that the Stripe integration you created earlier needs to be active on this specific form.

In the Payments tab, click on Stripe and then use the toggle switch to enable Stripe payments.

You’ll see that WPForms also lets you integrate with PayPal, Authorize.net, and Square so you get plenty of options to accept debit cards, Google Pay, and other online or mobile payment options.

After enabling Stripe payments you’ll see a few more options you’ll want to consider. You’ll see payment receipt and customer emails. You’ll be able to map form fields for those as well.

You can explore these settings on your own. WPForms is so easy to use, everything is self-explanatory. You can follow our guides for more detailed steps:

Back to the tutorial, now that your Apple Pay form is ready, let’s display it on your site.

Step 5: Display the Form on Your WordPress Site

You’re almost ready to start collecting payments! But, you’ll need to embed it on your WordPress site first.

This is an easy step to do. First, inside the form builder, make sure you save your form and then click on the Embed button in the top right corner.

This will give you options to add it to an existing page or post or you could also create a new page.

Now that’s not the only way to add the form to your site. Any time you’re inside the block editor, you can find and add the WPForms block.

This will add a WPForms dropdown menu where you can choose the form you just created. That’s it. The form will be added to your post or page.

With this option, you can easily add your form to multiple posts and pages.

Want to add it to your sidebar or footer? Then head over to Appearance » Widgets and drag and drop the WPForms widget to your sidebar. Then choose the form you want to display and save your settings. It’s really that simple.

If you’d like more detailed steps, you can read WPBeginner’s guide on embedding a form on your WordPress site.

Now you can head over to your site to see your Apple Pay form live in action.

If you don’t see the Apple Pay option on your own devices, it’s likely because you need to use a device that has enabled Apple Pay. So, if you’re using an Android device or a Windows computer you may not see it.

But if you’re using Apple Wallet on your iPhone or other iOS device and have a card saved to use with Apple Pay, you should see it there. That same logic follows for all the payment methods available with Stripe when customers are using digital wallets.

You can manage your payments using the Stripe dashboard.

With that, you now know how to use Apple Pay to accept online payments on your WordPress site. Your customers can easily make mobile payments using Apple Pay.

Since you’re now a business owner accepting payments online, be sure to enable a valid SSL certificate on your site. This will ensure all data coming in and out of your website is encrypted and safe from hackers.
