# Apple Pay certificate

Enable Apple Pay by using an Apple Pay certificate.

[View source](/payment-methods/apple-pay/apple-pay-certificate.md)

To set up Apple Pay on your website or mobile app, you need to use an [Apple Pay certificate](#apple-pay-certificate). You can use your own certificate or Adyen's certificate, depending on your integration:

* **Web [Drop-in](/payment-methods/apple-pay/web-drop-in)/[Components](/payment-methods/apple-pay/web-component)**: You can enable Apple Pay with your own certificate or Adyen's certificate.

* **iOS [Drop-in](/payment-methods/apple-pay/ios-drop-in)/[Components](/payment-methods/apple-pay/ios-component)**: You must use your own Apple Pay certificate.

* **[API-only](/payment-methods/apple-pay/api-only)**: For a web integration, you can use your own or Adyen's Apple Pay certificate, if you have a mobile integration, you must use your own certificate.

  It is possible to use a combination of certificates by using your own certificate for native apps and the Adyen certificate for web.

* If you are using one of the following Adyen plugins, refer to the specific documentation for enabling Apple Pay:

  * [**Adobe Commerce**](/plugins/adobe-commerce/set-up-the-payment-methods-in-adobe-commerce#alternative-payment-methods)
  * [**Salesforce Commerce Cloud**](/plugins/salesforce-commerce-cloud)

### Tab: Use Adyen's Apple Pay certificate

You can use Adyen's Apple Pay certificate to process Apple Pay payments for **web** integrations. This means that you do not have to use your own certificate. The benefits of using Adyen's Apple Pay certificate are:

* A faster way to add Apple Pay to your integration.
* There is less configuration required.
* Apple Pay enabled by default for your Pay by Link integration, if you have one.

### Set up Apple Pay with Adyen's certificate

1. [Set up your server](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web/setting_up_your_server) for secure communication with Apple Pay.

   * All pages that include Apple Pay must be served over HTTPS.
   * Your domain must have a valid SSL certificate.

2. [Add Apple Pay in your Customer Area](/payment-methods/add-payment-methods). You need to provide your:

   * **Merchant name**: the merchant account for which you want to set up Apple Pay.
   * **Shop websites**: your website URLs, for example `https://www.mystore.com`. If you add more than one, separate them with a comma.\
     You cannot use `http://localhost` to test.

After you have set up Apple Pay, you can proceed to set up Apple Pay for your [Web Drop-in](/payment-methods/apple-pay/web-drop-in) or [Web Component](/payment-methods/apple-pay/web-component) integration.

### Tab: Use your own Apple Pay certificate

For native mobile app integrations, you need to use your own Apple Pay certificate to set up Apple Pay. This option requires extra configuration steps. You can also use your own certificate for a web integration.
