How Apple Pay and Google Pay Work in Enrollio
Once enabled, Apple Pay and Google Pay appear alongside credit card options on your enrollment forms. Whether families see these options depends on:
- Their geographic location
- Their web browser
- Whether they have payment methods saved to their Apple or Google account
Stripe automatically displays Google Pay when available. Apple Pay requires one additional step: registering your domains with Stripe (which happens automatically when you turn on the feature).

How to Enable Apple Pay and Google Pay
Before you start: You must be using Stripe Connect in Enrollio. If you're using Stripe API credentials instead, switch to Stripe Connect first.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Go to Settings → Payments
- Make sure your Stripe account is connected
- Turn on the toggle for Enable Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Your domains will automatically register with Stripe (required for Apple Pay)
That's it! The payment options will now appear on your enrollment forms when families meet the device and location requirements.
Troubleshooting Apple Pay
If Apple Pay isn't showing up for families, check these requirements:
1. Verify the Toggle is On
Go to Settings → Payments and confirm the Apple Pay/Google Pay toggle is enabled while Stripe is connected.
2. Check Regional Availability
Make sure Apple Pay is available in your country.
3. Confirm Domain Registration
Your enrollment page domain must be registered with Stripe. This should happen automatically when you enable the feature.
To verify:
- Log in to your Stripe dashboard
- Look for your domain in the Web Domains section
- If it's missing, click Add New Domain and enter your enrollment page URL
If you need to add it manually, contact Enrollio support so we can investigate why auto-registration didn't work.
4. Verify Domain Association File
Apple requires a verification file on your domain. Test this by visiting:
https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association
A file should download. If it doesn't, contact support. Learn more about Apple Pay domain verification.
5. Check Device and Browser Requirements
The parent must be using:
- Safari on iOS 10 or later, or macOS Sierra or later
- A device compatible with Apple Pay
- A participating bank
Troubleshooting Google Pay
If Google Pay isn't appearing, verify these requirements:
- Toggle is enabled: Check Settings → Payments
- Regional availability: Confirm Google Pay works in your country
- Browser compatibility: The parent must be using Chrome or Safari
- Saved payment method: The parent needs a valid card registered with their Google account
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my payment reports change?
No. Stripe processes Apple Pay and Google Pay as standard card payments. All transactions appear normally in your Enrollio payment reports, along with order and subscription tracking.
Are there extra fees for Apple Pay or Google Pay?
No. Stripe charges the same processing rates for Apple Pay and Google Pay as it does for credit cards. Learn more about Apple Pay pricing.
Can I use Apple Pay and Google Pay with PayPal instead of Stripe?
No. Apple Pay and Google Pay are only available through Stripe Connect in Enrollio.
Why is Google Pay showing even though I didn't enable it?
Stripe may automatically enable certain payment methods based on your account settings and what the parent's browser supports. If Google Pay appears without you turning it on, it's because Stripe detected compatibility and made it available. This is normal behavior.
What happens if I test a transaction with Apple Pay or Google Pay?
When using Stripe in Test Mode, Apple Pay and Google Pay transactions are simulated. No real money moves, and you don't need to refund test payments. They're just for testing your enrollment form setup.
Can I enable other payment methods like bank transfers or ACH?
Currently, only Apple Pay and Google Pay can be enabled through Stripe in Enrollio. Additional payment methods may become available in future updates.
