# Use ApplePay

Place an order using catalog products defined in your Control Panel, and collect the payment using ApplePay.

## Currency support

Check with 2Checkout support for a list of currencies available for ApplePay.

## Activation

For activation, you need to have Apple Pay enabled on your 2Checkout account. Contact the [Merchant Support](mailto:supportplus@2checkout.com) team in order to enable this. After 2Checkout sets up our domain, we will provide you with a domain verification file.

Host your domain verification file at the following path on our server: https\://\[DOMAIN\_NAME]/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.

### Workflow

1. Initialize an [ApplePay session](/get-started-with-the-2checkout-api/get-started-with-the-2checkout-api/authentication-and-use-cases/2checkout-api-use-cases/payment-flow-with-apple-pay.md) using our API.
2. Collect the "ApplePayDataToken" provided by Apple Pay client side and pass it server side to make the **placeOrder** API call.
3. Create the order object. Use APPLE\_PAY as the type in the PaymentDetails object and pass the "ApplePayDataToken" through the "ApplePayToken" property in the `PaymentMethod` object. Place the order.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.2checkout.com/json-rpc-api-reference/json-rpc-api-6.0/api-requests/place-orders-with-catalog-products/use-applepay.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
