Requirements for Payment Network Token Support {#applepay-getting-started-reqts-pnt-support}
============================================================================================

Apple Pay relies on authorizations being processed with *payment network tokens* . Make sure your processor and your `Visa Acceptance Solutions` test accounts and production accounts meet these requirements.

Your processor supports payment network tokens and `Visa Acceptance Solutions` supports payment network tokens with your processor.
:
If your processor does not support payment network tokens, or if `Visa Acceptance Solutions` does not support payment network tokens with your processor, you must obtain a new `Visa Acceptance Solutions` merchant account with a processor that supports payment network tokens.

Your `Visa Acceptance Solutions` test account supports payment network tokens with `Visa Platform Connect`.
:
In order to configure and validate a test integration of Apple Pay, your `Visa Acceptance Solutions` merchant test account supports payment network tokens with your processor.
:
If you do not have a merchant test account that meets this criteria, contact your `Visa Acceptance Solutions` sales representative.

Your `Visa Acceptance Solutions` production account supports payment network tokens with `Visa Platform Connect`.
:
In order to use your Apple Pay implementation in a production environment, your `Visa Acceptance Solutions` merchant production account supports network tokens with your processor.
:
If you do not have a production account that meets these criteria, contact your `Visa Acceptance Solutions` sales representative.
