403 error when verifying Apple Pay

v4
#1

Hi,
I’m using Wordpress 5.3.x and installed WooCommerce with Stripe integration. One of the things to get Apple Pay support is domain verification. WooCommerce automatically put a file on your server which then would need to be verified on Stripe.com to check that you are indeed the owner. However, when I do the check, I get a 403 error. I see the file on the server https://domain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association and it does have correct permissions. Any help would be great.

Here is the exact message from Stripe

We attempted to retrieve the file at https://domain.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association, but received a 403 status code from your server. Please check that the file is hosted correctly. Note that our servers most likely send different HTTP headers than your browser; you should check your logs to see why the request failed. For more information, see https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/elements/payment-request-button#verifying-your-domain-with-apple-pay.

Ok. I finally figured it out. For anyone with this same issue, here’s what I did.

  1. Make sure you have the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file in your .well-known directory
  2. Open your user.conf file located at /opt/easyengine/sites/domain.com/config/nginx/custom/user.conf
  3. Enter in
location ^~ /.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association {
		auth_basic off;
		allow all;
		try_files $uri =404;
		break;
	}
  1. Save the file and restart ngnix
