Configuring the Merchant Identifier

In this initial step, you will need to create a Merchant Identifier for your store. The Merchant Identifier will be used to create the certificates required to integrate:

1. Create a Merchant Identifier

The merchant identifier must be created through the Apple Developer website.

  1. In the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" section, select "Identifiers" in the side menu, and then click the (+) button next to the title:
  1. Select the "Merchant IDs" option and then click Continue:
  1. Enter a value in the "Description" and "Identifier" fields, following your specifications, and click Continue:
  1. To finish, click on Register:

2. Request the ".CSR" Certificate

To request Cielo to generate the certificate in ".CSR" format, contact our Support Team and enter:

  1. The Merchant Identifier created in "Step 1";
  2. The Merchant ID of your Cielo store in production.

Our team will return with the ".CSR" file within 48 business hours.

3. Create a ".CER" Certificate

  1. In the "Certificates, Identifier & Profiles" section, select "Identifiers" on the side menu.
  2. Use the filter on the top right corner ("App IDs"), to locate the "Merchant IDs" item:
  1. Select the recently created identifier:
  1. In the "Apple Pay Payment Processing Certificate" block, click the Create Certificate button right after the short description:
  1. Choose "No" in "Edit or Configure Merchant ID":
  1. In the dialog box, click Choose File and choose the ".CSR" certificate sent by Cielo:
  1. Click Continue:
  1. Click Download and save the ".CER" file:
