How do I set up Apple Pay with Paragon Payment Solutions?

Step 1: Set up an Apple Developer account 

1. Enroll in the Apple Developer Program at https://developer.apple.com/programs/enroll/ 

2. You'll need the following information: 

1. D-U-N-S Number (request one at https://www.dnb.com/duns-number/lookup.html if needed). 

2. Legal Entity Status (indicate nonprofit status if applicable) 

3. Legal Binding Authority information 

Step 2: Link your payment account to Apple 

1. In your Paragon account, navigate to the Tools menu. 

2. Generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) and save it to your computer. 

3. In your Apple Developer account: 

1. 1. Register a Merchant ID with a unique description and identifier (must start with "merchant").
   2. Upload the CSR from your Paragon account.
   3. Download the resulting Payment Processing Certificate. 

4. Upload the Payment Processing Certificate back to Paragon using the link under the Apple Pay menu. 

Important notes:  

• The certificate (CSR) here is different than what you need to use for step 3. 

• The certificate (CSR) typically expires every 2 years, and this process will have to be repeated. 

Step 3: Link your EveryAction account with Apple 

1. After completing the previous steps, EveryAction's Client Services team will enable Apple Pay options on your account. 

2. Once notified, search for Payment Gateways in your EveryAction account. 

3. Locate your gateway and click Apple Pay Settings. 

4. Generate a new Certificate Signing Request. 

5. Upload this new CSR to your Apple Developer Account in the Apple Pay Merchant Identity Certificate section 

6. Download the resulting Merchant Identity Certificate. 

7. Upload this certificate back to EveryAction on the Payment Gateways page. 

Important notes:  

• The certificate (CSR) here is different than what you need to use for step 2. 

• The certificate (CSR) typically expires every 2 years, and this process will have to be repeated. 

Step 4: Verify your domains 

1. Register and verify every website domain where you want to use Apple Pay. 

2. Follow the steps in the How do I verify my domain for Apple Pay? Article. 

Step 5: Finalizing your setup 

1. Once you are sure you have completed the entire process, please contact EveryAction at EA-Help@bonterratech.com. We will need to take one more step on our end to enable Apple Pay for your organization.  

2. Once you receive confirmation from us, you will see the option to enable Apple Pay when creating or editing any contribution forms. 

Important note: Apple Pay can only be enabled on forms hosted on vanity URLs or domains outside of Online Actions for Paragon users. If your donation page URL starts with "secure.everyaction.com," Apple Pay will not be available.
