I am setting up Apple pay and Google pay for a client. Where should I get the file/certificate to be uploaded on the path

> /home/u887410000/domains/petsonthemove.co.uk/public\_html/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association

Should this be gotten from the client’s Square account?

I think my clarification would be where to get the certificate? Can i do it on my account or should it come from the client’s developer account?

To set up Apple Pay, you need to upload an Apple Pay payment processing certificate to the Apple Developer Portal. This certificate is not obtained from the client’s Square account. Instead, you must first obtain a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) from Square through the Square Developer Console. Once you have the CSR, you submit it to the Apple Developer Portal to generate the Apple Pay certificate. This certificate is then used in your application to enable Apple Pay.

For the specific file you mentioned, the `apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association` file is typically provided by Apple and is used to verify your domain for Apple Pay. This file should be placed in the `.well-known` directory of your domain’s public HTML path. You should follow Apple’s instructions for obtaining and placing this file on your server.
