I did reach out to support at WP, however, to see if they can host it appropriately.
I don’t think that is the case. I initially tried to verify with a plugin called “Verify domain for Apple Pay with Stripe”. It allowed me to host the file, but the message was that the file was outdated. There was no 404 error.
Thank you for getting back to me. Here is the message that I received when I tried to add the domain:
We attempted to retrieve the file at https://cloversrevenge.com/.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association, but received a 404 status code from your server. Please check that the file is hosted correctly. Note that our servers most likely send different HTTP headers than your browser; you should check your logs to see why the request failed. For more information, see https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/elements/payment-request-button#verifying-your-domain-with-apple-pay.
I am hosting on WordPress.com.
