Programmatically add card into Apple Pay

Hi,


I did enough research but it is not clear whether as a developer I can enroll card into Apple pay programatically using API from an iOS app? if not, I do see another option where Apple recommend to contact them if (only card issuer like banks) interested in adding credit card into Apple Pay from their mobile banking iOS app. If we (bank) contact Apple, are we going to get API to add card into Apple Pay from iOS app? in that API can we change default card to what we want?


is anyone had experience in using this private API?


Thanks,

Using private APIs is forbidden.

Apple already has a way for adding cards to be used with Apple Pay.

There is no need for a developer to do that.

If your bank is part of one of the credit card providers like VISA or Mastercard, I would have them contact them first to see if they have a way to talk with Apple about getting your bank's cards into the system.

My use case is different, already our mobile app has all card details hence we dont want user to do add it into Apple Pay manually instead we proivde option in our app as "Add into Apple Pay", if user say Yes our app will do that using API. I meant private API because if you go to Apple Pay developer site, this is the text I see...

I work for a company who are card issuer (on behalf of the banks, as Technical Service Provider). We offer our on iOS App and want to enable a way to get the card added to Apple Pay. Are there APIs available or will it on request basis as mentioned above on this thread?
