Apple Pay Integration

Apple Pay is a digital wallet that can be implemented for eCommerce through Payment Extensibility. It allows customers to store their credit card information and provide that information to mobile and web eCommerce stores. When Apple Pay is used to retrieve payment information for an order, the customer receives a confirmation notification on their phone to approve the request.
