- automatic reload payments

Recurring payments

subscriptions, installments, or recurring billing

// Specify the amount and billing periods
let regularBilling = PKRecurringPaymentSummaryItem(label: "Membership", amount: 20)

let trialBilling = PKRecurringPaymentSummaryItem(label: "Trial Membership", amount: 10)

let trialEndDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .month, value: 1, to: Date.now)
trialBilling.endDate = trialEndDate
regularBilling.startDate = trialEndDate

// Create a recurring payment request
let recurringPaymentRequest = PKRecurringPaymentRequest(
  paymentDescription: "Book Club Membership",
  regularBilling: regularBilling,
  managementURL: URL(string: "https://www.example.com/managementURL")!
)
recurringPaymentRequest.trialBilling = trialBilling

recurringPaymentRequest.billingAgreement = """
50% off for the first month. You will be charged $20 every month after that until you cancel. \ You may cancel at any time to avoid future charges. To cancel, go to your Account and click \ Cancel Membership.
"""

recurringPaymentRequest.tokenNotificationURL = URL(

)!

// Update the payment request
let paymentRequest = PKPaymentRequest()
// ...
paymentRequest.recurringPaymentRequest = recurringPaymentRequest

// Include in the summary items
let total = PKRecurringPaymentSummaryItem(label: "Book Club", amount: 10)
total.endDate = trialEndDate
paymentRequest.paymentSummaryItems = [trialBilling, regularBilling, total]

Automatic reload payments

e.g., store card balance top-ups, pre-paid accounts top-ups
Fixed top-up amount payment

)
reloadItem.thresholdAmount = 5

// Create an automatic reload payment request
let automaticReloadPaymentRequest = PKAutomaticReloadPaymentRequest(
  paymentDescription: "Coffee Shop",
  automaticReloadBilling: automaticReloadBilling,
  managementURL: URL(string: "https://www.example.com/managementURL")!
)

automaticReloadPaymentRequest.billingAgreement = """
Coffee Shop will add $25.00 to your card immediately, and will automatically reload your \
card with $25.00 whenever the balance falls below $5.00. You may cancel at any time to avoid \ future charges. To cancel, go to your Account and click Cancel Reload.
"""

automaticReloadPaymentRequest.tokenNotificationURL = URL(
  string: "https://www.example.com/tokenNotificationURL"
)!

// Update the payment request
