Apple Pay and Google Pay buttons missing on WooCommerce

Why buttons disappear

Wallet buttons only show when everything lines up: a supported browser and device, a wallet set up on that device, the gateway’s script loaded, and — for Apple Pay — the domain registered with the payment provider. Change your domain, add a www redirect, or move to a new host, and registration may no longer match.

Check the gateway’s settings and logs first; the Stripe extension documentation covers express checkout setup and requirements.

Other common causes

Script optimisation that defers or combines the gateway’s JavaScript, a Content Security Policy that blocks it, or a consent banner that blocks payment scripts until consent. Theme or block changes can also remove the location where buttons render.

Because this mostly affects phones, it is part of the wider problem of checkouts that only break on mobile.

Checking it regularly

Test on a real iPhone with Apple Pay and an Android phone with Google Pay after any domain, CDN, theme or gateway change. Compare orders by payment method: a sudden drop in wallet payments is usually the first visible sign.

A monitor can confirm the payment step renders and a payment method is ready; pair it with a periodic device check for the wallet buttons themselves.

Check your own store now with the free WooCommerce checkout checker: it walks the checkout in a real browser and shows the step where it stops.

When totals or shipping do not refresh, see WooCommerce update_checkout not working.
