The key facts

  • Click partners will be able to enable Apple Pay through the existing integration; a separate integration with Apple is not required
  • The payment is confirmed by Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode, using a one-time dynamic security code
  • A Visa or Mastercard card in Apple Wallet is required for payment; settlements and refunds still go through Click

Click is preparing to enable Apple Pay for its partners

The Click payment system has announced it is moving closer to Apple Pay: partner companies will be able to activate this payment method through their existing integrations with Click, without a separate technical project with Apple. Payment creation, settlements, reporting and refunds will, as before, go through Click. To start using the service, partners only need to submit a request; after activation, Apple Pay will appear among the payment methods on the Click payment page. Kun.uz reports this.

How the payment will work

When making a purchase on a partner website connected to Apple Pay, it is enough to select this method on the Click payment page. Each payment is confirmed via Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode, and for additional protection a unique dynamic security code is used, valid only once. To pay via Apple Pay on the Click payment page, a Visa or Mastercard card supporting the service must be added to Apple Wallet.

Statements and technical details

“We wanted the Apple Pay onboarding process to be as simple as possible for both users and businesses. Our partners do not need to launch a separate technical project to implement the new payment method. Click takes care of all the technical work,” said Ulugbek Rustamov, director and co-founder of Click. According to the publication, Apple Pay allows purchases to be made on websites and in apps on iPhone, iPad and Mac via the Safari browser, as well as in apps on Apple Watch — without creating a separate account or re-entering the delivery address and payment details.

Security

The service description emphasizes that when making a payment, the actual card number is not stored on either the device or Apple's servers. Instead, a special “Device Account Number” is created for each device, which is stored in encrypted form in a Secure Element chip certified to international industry standards. The publication does not contain a launch date for the service or a list of the first connected partners — these details remain unknown for now.
