   - A `data.status` of `rejected` will be received when the authorization was rejected.
   - A `data.status` of `invalid_event` will be received for unhandled situations.
 - The `chargeAuthChallenge` event is sent before starting a challenge flow (i.e. opening an IFrame for the customer to complete a challenge with ther bank). Once the end customer performs the challenge, the Canvas3ds will be able to identify the challenge result and will either produce a `chargeAuthSuccess` or `chargeAuthReject` event.
+- The `chargeAuthChallengeLoaded` event (SDK **v1.147.0+**) is sent once per challenge, after `chargeAuthChallenge`, when the challenge IFrame has finished loading the bank's page (its first `load` event) — this is the moment the customer can actually see the challenge. `data.reason` is `load` for a real load, or `timeout` when no load was observed within 2.5 seconds: the event is emitted anyway so you never hold a loading indicator forever (a `load` arriving later is simply ignored). Hide your loader on this event either way; `data.reason` is only informational (e.g. analytics). Not sent for decoupled challenges (no challenge IFrame).
+- The `chargeAuthChallengeCompleted` event (SDK **v1.147.0+**) is sent once the customer has finished the challenge (or approved a decoupled authentication): the bank has delivered the final result to the 3DS server and the Canvas3ds is now obtaining the outcome. Whatever the bank or the 3DS server render inside the IFrame from here on is plumbing, not UX — cover the IFrame with your own "Completing verification" state and hold it until the terminal event. `data.source` tells you how the SDK learned about it: `poll` (the 3DS server's result monitor — the usual case, it flips before the IFrame has even left the bank's page) or `callback` (the callback message carrying the outcome arrived first; the terminal event follows immediately) — handle both the same way. Sent at most once per authentication, always before `chargeAuthSuccess` / `chargeAuthReject` / `error` and never after them. A wrong OTP or a further interactive step (e.g. a second OTP screen) does **not** send it — no result has been delivered yet — so no grace timer or reveal fallback is needed on your side. Also sent for decoupled challenges.
 - The `chargeAuthDecoupled` event is sent when the flow is a decoupled challenge, alongside a `data.result.description` field that you must show to the customer, indicating the method the user must use to authenticate. For example this may happen by having the cardholder authenticating directly with their banking app through biometrics. Once the end customer does this, the Canvas3ds will be able to recognize the challenge result is ready and will either produce a `chargeAuthSuccess` or `chargeAuthReject` event.
 - The `error` event is sent if an unexpected issue with the client library occurs. In such scenarios, you should consider the autentication process as interrupted:
   - When getting this event, you will get on `data.error` the full error object.
 
+### Recommended loading indicator pattern
+
+> Requires SDK **v1.147.0 or later** (`chargeAuthChallengeLoaded` / `chargeAuthChallengeCompleted`). On older versions the same effect needs a `MutationObserver` on the container plus `load` listeners on the challenge IFrame — see the Standalone 3DS UX guide in the playground for that legacy approach.
+
+The Canvas3ds renders nothing visible until a challenge is presented, and `chargeAuthChallenge` fires when the API responds — about 1–2 seconds before the bank's page actually paints inside the IFrame. Drive a single loading indicator from the events:
+
+1. Show the loader **before** you `POST /v1/charges/standalone-3ds` and keep it up through `canvas3ds.load()` (fingerprinting and processing are invisible).
+2. Keep it up on `chargeAuthChallenge` — the challenge IFrame is being injected but is still blank.
+3. Hide it on `chargeAuthChallengeLoaded` — the challenge is visible. `data.reason` tells you whether it was a real paint (`load`) or the 2.5 s safety fallback (`timeout`); either way, no further handling is needed.
+4. Cover the IFrame with a "Completing verification" indicator on `chargeAuthChallengeCompleted` — the customer finished the challenge and the SDK is obtaining the outcome — and hold it until the terminal event. No grace timer or reveal fallback is needed: a wrong OTP or a second interactive step does not fire this event.
+5. Finish on `chargeAuthSuccess` / `chargeAuthReject` / `error`.
+
+Decoupled challenges (`chargeAuthDecoupled`) never emit `chargeAuthChallengeLoaded` (there is no challenge IFrame) but do emit `chargeAuthChallengeCompleted` once the customer approved out-of-band: show a dedicated waiting state with `data.result.description` until then, and "Completing verification" until the terminal event. Frictionless flows go straight from `load()` to the terminal event.

+
+> **Apple Pay is no longer Safari-only.** Since iOS 16 (third-party mobile browsers) and the
+> iOS 18 / 2025 desktop rollout, Apple Pay also works in Chrome, Edge and Firefox — including
+> on Windows — via a **cross-device QR handoff**: the user scans a code and completes the
+> payment on their iPhone. Because the paying device is often *not* the browsing device, the
+> only authoritative availability signal is the async `checkAvailability()`.
+> `applePayCapabilities()` is what Apple recommends; `canMakePayments()` is just a coarse
+> local-device hint. See
+> [Apple — Checking for Apple Pay availability](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepayontheweb/checking-for-apple-pay-availability).
+
+#### `ApplePayOpenWalletButton.checkAvailability(options)`
+
+The single, authoritative, cross-browser-aware check. It resolves the merchant identifier,
+loads Apple's web SDK if needed, and queries `ApplePaySession.applePayCapabilities()`.
+
+You may supply the merchant context in either of two ways:
+
+```javascript
+// 1) Lightest path — no network — when you already know the Apple merchant identifier:
+const result = await paydock.ApplePayOpenWalletButton.checkAvailability({
+    merchant_id: 'merchant.com.example',
+});
+
+// 2) Resolve the merchant identifier from the service configuration (fetched & cached):
+const result = await paydock.ApplePayOpenWalletButton.checkAvailability({
+    public_key_or_access_token: publicKeyOrAccessToken,
+    service_id: serviceId,
+    env: 'sandbox',
+    // Optional — which device statuses count as "available".
+    // Defaults to ['credentials_available', 'credentials_status_unknown'].
+    apple_pay_capabilities: ['credentials_available', 'credentials_status_unknown'],
+});
+```
+
+**Result shape (`ApplePayAvailabilityResult`):**
+
+```javascript
+{
+    available: true,                  // verdict vs the allowed capability set
+    supported: true,                  // Apple Pay usable here AT ALL (incl. cross-device QR)
+    has_native_session: false,        // native same-device session present (canMakePayments)
+    payment_credential_status:        // OUTPUT — the device's reported status
+        'paymentCredentialStatusUnknown',
+    reason: undefined,                // set when not available, see below
+}
+```
+
+**Inferring the transport (Apple does not expose it directly):**
+- `available && has_native_session` ⇒ **native** Apple Pay sheet is likely (Safari on an Apple device).
+- `available && !has_native_session` ⇒ **cross-device / QR** handoff is likely (e.g. Chrome on desktop).
+
+`payment_credential_status` is the device's actual status:
+`'paymentCredentialsAvailable'`, `'paymentCredentialStatusUnknown'`,
+`'paymentCredentialsUnavailable'`, or `'applePayUnsupported'`. **Third-party / desktop
+browsers normally report `paymentCredentialStatusUnknown`** (Apple can't see the remote
+iPhone's cards until the user scans the QR), which is why the default allowed set includes it.
+
+The `apple_pay_capabilities` **input** maps to those statuses
+(`credentials_available` → `paymentCredentialsAvailable`,
+`credentials_status_unknown` → `paymentCredentialStatusUnknown`,
+`credentials_unavailable` → `paymentCredentialsUnavailable`) and decides which ones make
+`available` true. When omitted, **both** `paymentCredentialsAvailable` and
+`paymentCredentialStatusUnknown` count — narrow it to `['credentials_available']` only if you
+want to require a confirmed local card (this will hide the button in cross-browser/QR contexts).
+
+When `available` is `false`, `reason` is one of: `'unsupported_browser'`,
+`'missing_merchant_id'`, `'service_type_mismatch'`, `'config_fetch_failed'`,
+`'sdk_load_failed'`, `'query_failed'`, `'no_credentials'`, or `'no_native_session'`
+(only from the synchronous check below).
+
+```javascript
+const result = await paydock.ApplePayOpenWalletButton.checkAvailability({ merchant_id: merchantId });
+if (result.available) {
+    renderApplePayButton();
+} else {
+    console.log('Apple Pay unavailable:', result.reason, result.payment_credential_status);
+}
+```
+
+**Synchronous native-only fast check (`sync: true`).** Pass `{ sync: true }` for a cheap,
+network-free pre-check that resolves immediately — it runs only the native same-device check
+(`window.ApplePaySession` + `canMakePayments()`), with no merchant resolution, SDK load, or
+`applePayCapabilities()` query. In this mode `available` reflects the native session only and
+`payment_credential_status` is `undefined`. It is a Safari-oriented hint and is **not**
+authoritative for cross-browser / QR availability (which require the full async check above).
+
+```javascript
+const { has_native_session } = await paydock.ApplePayOpenWalletButton.checkAvailability({
+    sync: true,
+});
+if (has_native_session) {
+    // Native Apple Pay is ready on this device (Safari fast path).

 ### Checking for button availability
 
-If the customer's browser is not supported, or the customer does not have any card added to their wallet, the button will not load. In this case the callback onUnavailable() will be called. You can define the behavior of this function before loading the button.
+There are two ways to know whether a wallet is available:
+
+**1. After `load()` — the `onUnavailable()` callback.** If the customer's browser is not supported, or the customer does not have any card added to their wallet, the button will not load. In this case the callback onUnavailable() will be called. You can define the behavior of this function before loading the button.
 
 ```javascript
 button.onUnavailable(({ data }) => console.log("No wallet button available", data));
 ```
 
+**2. Before instantiation — the static `checkAvailability()` method.** Each button class exposes a static `checkAvailability(options)` that resolves availability **without instantiating the button**, so you can decide whether to render a wallet option (or which payment method to default to) up front. The options and result are wallet-specific — see [Apple Pay → Checking availability before instantiation](#checking-availability-before-instantiation-static) and [Google Pay → Checking availability before instantiation](#checking-availability-before-instantiation-static-1).

+```javascript
+// Apple Pay
