according to stripe docs (https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/pmd-registration?platform=dashboard), i need to host a file called "apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association" at the url [domain]/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association in order to get apple pay setup on stripe checkouts

Verify your domain with Apple Pay
If you use Apple Pay, follow these steps to verify your domain. You can verify your domain before or after registering it. If the domain is already registered, click the row action and then click Verify.

1. Download the domain association file.
2. Host the file at /.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association. For example, if you register https://example.com/, make that file available at https://example.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association.
3.Click Verify.


question: since i am using app router, where should i host this file in my app? would it be src/app/.well-known ? and i need make a folder called ".well-known" or what?

screenshot 1 - the message that pops up after i hit "verify" on stripe
screenshot 2 - every possible location i've tried putting the folder before deploying to prod on vercel.

create a GET route handler in app/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association/route.ts then response the file content
or put that file in public folder then do the follow in the route handler
// app/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association/route.ts

import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

export function GET(req: Request) {
  return NextResponse.redirect(
    "/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association",
    {
      headers: {
        "Content-disposition":
          "attachment; filename=apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association",
      },
    }
  );
}
@Ray create a GET route handler in app/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association/route.ts then response the file content
Sun bearOP
ok so just to double check this is the correct folder organization & contents?
Ray
no
apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association inside .well-known
@Ray apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association inside .well-known
Sun bearOP
you are you talking about the actual domain file, or the folder?
Ray
folder
both of them are folder
just route.ts is a file
and put the apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file inside public folder
Sun bearOP
ok so you are suggesting the second option instead?
Ray
either way work
redirect easily
@Ray create a GET route handler in app/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association/route.ts then response the file content
Sun bearOP
you said

create a GET route handler in app/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association/route.ts then response the file content

in my picture, i have app folder -> .well-known folder -> apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association folder -> route.ts file

im with you through there

then i added the actual apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association file i downloaded from stripe dashboard...where does that go then?
Ray
/public
Sun bearOP
ok here we go?
Ray
yes
Sun bearOP
alright deploying
Ray
once deployed, you can try go to yourdomain/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association

should look like this
@Ray should look like this
Sun bearOP
yea do you see anything weird? i dont think im missing anything
Ray
I got build error too
but its gone after I recreate the folder
Sun bearOP
you have underscore instead of period on the top one
Ray
second one
the one with underscore was causing the build error
then I create again
Sun bearOP
did you verify the domain on stripe?
Ray
yes but with remix
should be the same in nextjs
Sun bearOP
even if i delete and recreate the folder, there won't be any diff on git so it wouldnt be a new commit no new deploy
Ray
try build locally first
Sun bearOP
no fucking way
oh my god there was a typo in association

:lolsob:
Sun bearOP
nope that wasn't it
i mean it as causing some stuff, but stripe still not able to verify. i think i'll reach out to their dev support
Sun bearOP
yea!
has to be on stripe's end im guessing
Sun bearOP
update: stripe says it’s not on their end … 😂

Honestly would you recommend at this point instead of getting the run around between stripe and vercel
redirects() {
    return [
      {
        source: "/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association",
        destination: "/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association",
        permanent: false,
      },
    ];
  },
remove the route and leave the file in /public folder
