Choose Merchant Identifier Value

The merchantIdentifier value corresponds to a merchant identity beginning with a prefix IDxxx. There are two options for which value to pass in.

1. Application Owner Identity ID (Default)

If the Apple Pay button will be hosted on your domain, use your application identity ID here. This flow is common if you have just website hosting all of your checkout flows.

This is the default option for Direct Merchants and most Platforms. You can find the Application Owner Identity ID from the merchant#identity resource you use to generate payments.

2. Merchant Owner Identity ID

If you are a Platform that hosts websites on custom urls, you should provide the owner identity of your merchants. An example would be a Platform creating websites for their sellers all hosted on custom urls. We recommend reaching out to our support team if you have a flow that fits this criteria.
