# Use ApplePay

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

## Supported currency

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 your server: https\://\[DOMAIN\_NAME]/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association

## Workflow

1. Initialize an [ApplePay session](https://verifone.cloud/docs/2checkout/API-Integration/01Start-using-the-2Checkout-API/2Checkout-API-general-information/Payment_flow_with_Apple_Pay) 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.
