AddGoogle Payto android apps forthese supported countries.

Important: MasterCard and Discover branded Google Pay payments receive liability shift treatment in SCA impacted regions.

Get started

  1. Ask your Implementation Manager to enable Google Pay.
  2. Your Implementation Manager supplies you with a Gateway Merchant ID which you need to supply in your integration with Google Pay API.

Important:

  • You must set the allowedAuthMethods card parameter to "CRYPTOGRAM_3DS" as describedhere. 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 thecountry codein your request to the Google Pay API when you process in an SCA impacted region.
