# createApplePayCert

Creates a new Apple Pay certificate by generating a Certificate Signing Request (CSR). Use the returned `csr` to create an Apple Pay Payment Processing Certificate in the Apple Developer Portal, then call `activateApplePayCert` with the signed `.cer`. The private key is securely generated and stored by MONEI. CSRs are short-lived and can only be used once; create a new certificate if the CSR has expired.

```
createApplePayCert: ApplePayCertificate!
