Apple Pay JS API - applePayCapabilities no longer working

We’ve noticed that the ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities() check has stopped working correctly in Safari over the past couple of days.

Behavior observed:

1.) In Safari Private Window, paymentCredentialStatus behaves as expected and case 1 is triggered.

2.) In a normal Safari window, it always triggers case 3 (paymentCredentialsUnavailable), even when the user has active cards provisioned in Wallet.

We tested across multiple devices, and the behavior is consistent.

// Check if the Apple Pay JS API is available.

if (window.ApplePaySession) {

var merchantIdentifier = 'YOUR MERCHANT IDENTIFIER';

var promise = ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities(merchantIdentifier);

promise.then(function(capabilities) {

switch (capabilities.paymentCredentialStatus) {

case "paymentCredentialsAvailable":

// Show Apple Pay button as primary option

case "paymentCredentialStatusUnknown":

// Offer Apple Pay

case "paymentCredentialsUnavailable":

// Consider showing Apple Pay button

case "applePayUnsupported":

// Don’t show Apple Pay button

}

})

}

This used to work fine until a few days ago, but now the capability check in non-private Safari windows always indicates unavailable, even with valid active cards.

Has anyone else faced this issue recently? Could this be a Safari regression or a change on Apple’s side?

Thanks in advance!
