I'm facing an issue while using Apple Pay via Stripe. Whenever I select Apple Pay and click on the Apple Pay button, instead of showing the payment intent, I get the following error message:

Unable to show Apple Pay. Please choose a different payment method and try again.

However, when I inspect the element and try the same flow, I can see the payment intent, and the payment works as expected.

This behavior is consistent — I’ve tried this test case multiple times, and I’m getting the same issue every time.

What I’ve checked so far:

• Payment works fine when using other payment methods like cards.
• Payment intent is created correctly when inspecting the element and proceeding.
• This happens in both live and test environments.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue or found a solution for this?

Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
