Google Pay

Add Google Pay to android apps for these supported countries.

Important

The following Google Pay payments receive liability shift in SCA impacted regions:

  • Mastercard
  • Visa (where device PAN/"CRYPTOGRAM_3DS" is used)

Get started

  1. Read through the GooglePay Overview.
  2. Ask your Implementation Manager to enable Google Pay.
  3. Your Implementation Manager supplies you with a Gateway Merchant ID which you need to supply in your integration with Google Pay API.
  4. Follow the GooglePay tutorial and complete the GooglePay test checklist to ensure a successful integration.
Important
  • *You must set the allowedAuthMethods card parameter to "CRYPTOGRAM_3DS" as described here. This is to ensure only network tokens & cryptogram are passed in a tokenized card payload. This means no step-up challenge is required.
  • To be SCA compliant, you must provide the country code in your request to the Google Pay API when you process in an SCA impacted region.

Here is an example of a Google Pay authorization request. For more information on taking a Google Pay payment take a look at our Payments API documentation.
