Apple Pay Receipt Display Issues (Wrong Merchant Name)

If a donor pays with Apple Pay and later sees the wrong business name in Apple Wallet—such as "School Cafeteria" instead of your institution’s name—this is a display issue on Apple’s side. The donation is processed correctly, and the GiveCampus email receipt shows the right designation.

what's happening

• Apple controls the merchant name shown in Apple Wallet, not GiveCampus.

• The incorrect name does not affect where the donation is credited.

• The GiveCampus receipt correctly reflects the donor’s intended designation.

what donors can do

If the merchant name looks wrong in Apple Wallet, donors can report the issue so Apple may correct future displays:

• Open the Wallet app • Tap the card used for the donation • Select the relevant transaction • Tap "Report Incorrect Merchant Info"

how to reassure your donor

You can share this message with donors:

"Thank you for checking. Your gift was processed correctly and credited to the right designation. Apple controls the merchant name displayed in Apple Wallet, and occasionally it may show an incorrect label. Please refer to your GiveCampus email receipt for the accurate details, and if you wish, you can report the issue directly in Apple Wallet."
