ChelleM Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Site URL: https://www.coopdayton.org/donate Hi, I'd like to add Apple Pay to my donation widget from an app called GiveLively. GiveLively provides a "domain association file" to connect with Apple Pay and minimal instructions: https://www.givelively.org/resources/enable-and-disable-digital-wallets#toc-enable-apple-pay-on-the-simple-donation-widget How specifically do I "host" the file on my site? Thank you! Link to comment

GiveLively provides a "domain association file" to host on your site at: /.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association This isn't possible on Squarespace. You cannot serve a file from a root directory or named subdirectory on Squarespace. Squarespace is a 'website builder', and whilst this means that you can produce a professional-looking website very easily without technical knowledge, it also means that you do not have access to a 'server' and you cannot save files to a specific subdirectory or folder. All files added to Squarespace are placed in the /s/ "subdirectory". I know this is not the answer you wanted, but I hope it saves you from endless searching for a solution that does not exist.

MA Photography Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I have the same question - is there a way to place the file in a location that's not at the root level and still considered "well-known" by Apple? There must be hundreds of app developers who're using Squarespace as domain and web builder. Swedish photographer based in NYC! Link to comment

This is much needed, otherwise we have to look for an alternative service. Hard to believe to miss such an important feature these days. Link to comment
minimalistcode Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Sadly, the lack of this capability is going to make me have to abandon Squarespace. Link to comment
Dom_msk_ai Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Ditto. This seems like a significant oversight and mandatory feature for a lot of people. Link to comment
clairatgivelively Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 (edited) Although I do not have a solution to the inability to host a Domain Association File on Squarespace, I do have good news for the original poster and anyone else who is looking into this matter specifically for Give Lively: It is unnecessary to host the ApplePay Domain Association File as part of the process for enabling Apple Pay on the Simple Donation Widget. Squarespace already has the Domain Association File built in, so Give Lively members on Squarespace-hosted websites actually have a much simpler process to enable Apple Pay. Our instructions for Squarespace users have been updated here. Edited July 21, 2023 by clairatgivelively readability Beyondspace 1 Link to comment
SusanneS Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 A client of mine would like to use apple pay, for which they need to host a certain file on a certain page (see instructions below). However, Squarespace doesn't let us set pages with a dot in the slug, nor can we host a file on a certain page. So I figured I could do this by just placing the file in the FTP under the right path. Now I know that I cannot access the FTP anymore with Squarespace 7.1. And I was wondering if anyone has experience with moving their hosting to an external host so that we can have full control over the FTP. Any downsides to that? I'm not sure if that would be the solution but any tips are very welcome. Thanks! Instructions from apple pay provider: Work with your designer to add a path for /.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association on your website. Upload the domain associate file under that website path. Link to comment
