I’ve created a Payment Link via the Create Payment Link API with `applePay` and `googlePay` set to true in `acceptedPaymentMethods`, but only Google Pay shows in checkout.

Here’s how I’m using the API using the Node.js SDK:

```auto
const { paymentLink } = await client.checkout.paymentLinks.create({
    order: {
      lineItems: cartItems.map((item) => ({
        catalogObjectId: item.variationId,
        quantity: '1',
        modifiers: item.modifierIds.map((id) => ({ catalogObjectId: id })),
      })),
      locationId: locations.locations[0].id,
    },
    checkoutOptions: {
      redirectUrl,
      acceptedPaymentMethods: {
        applePay: true,
        googlePay: true,
      },
    },
  })

```

I am testing on a Safari browser. If I create a Payment Link through the Square Dashboard, Apple Pay _does_ appear as an option.

Here’s a Payment Link created through the API:

Here’s a payment link for the same merchant created through the UI:

Are you in a Safari browser? Apple Pay only works in Safari on a device that supports paying with Apple Pay. 🙂

Yes, I am using Safari. I’m confused because I can see Apple Pay in the payment link created through the Dashboard, but I cannot see Apple Pay in the link created thru the API with `applePay` enabled in `acceptedPaymentMethods`.

Hi, checking back in on this. Any idea why Apple Pay would appear when I’m using the UI to create Payment Links, but not when I create using the API?
