Please note since this flow involves decryption at Hyperswitch, you may need to write to your payment processor to get this feature enabled for your account. Stripe is one among them.

You can use the following text in the email

Attach our PCI DSS AoC certificate and copy our Support team (biz@hyperswitch.io).
Stripe Account id: <Enter your account id: you can find it here>
A detailed business description: <One sentence about your business>. The business operates across xx countries and has customers across the world.
Feature Request: We are using Hyperswitch, a Level 1 PCI DSS 3.2.1 compliant Payments Orchestrator, to manage payments on our website. In addition to Stripe, since we are using other processors as well to process payments across multiple geographies, we wanted to use Hyperswitch’s Payment Processing certificate to decrypt Apple pay tokens and send the decrypted Apple pay tokens to Stripe. So, please enable processing decrypted Apple pay token feature on our Stripe account. We’ve attached Hyperswitch’s PCI DSS AoC for reference.

Integrate with Xcode

Add the Apple Pay capability to your app. In Xcode, open your project settings, click the Signing & Capabilities tab, and add the Apple Pay capability. You might be prompted to log in to your developer account at this point. Select the merchant ID you created earlier, and your app is ready to accept Apple Pay.
