Is it possible to use another's app merchant id for Apple Pay?

The question:

Is there any way to make app B generate tokens with app A merchant id which will fully work then and pass A's backend validations?

My circumstances:

3rd-party App A:

  • This app uses Apple Pay and generates one-time payment tokens which are then sent to their backend server and validated.
  • I do not have the source code of the app A
  • I also do not have private keys of their Apple Pay merchant profile
  • I do have their merchant ID string and anything else I can get from the IPA file

My own App B:

  • This is just my app, I can do anything
Solution

  • If this were possible, Apple Pay would be pointless. So, no.
