Error message
Domain could not be verified for Apple Pay because of a temporary problem. Try again later.

Common causes

  • The service that verifies Apple Pay domains is temporarily unavailable, timed out, or returned a server error.

Troubleshooting

  • This is a transient error with Apple Pay. Retry after a short delay, increasing the delay with exponential backoff.
  • Contact the Paddle support team if the problem persists. Include the request_id with your message.
