This page introduces Google Pay as a wallet payment method available through Adyen.
What Google Pay is
Google Pay lets shoppers pay using credit or debit cards stored in their Google account, on Android devices, on the web, and in store through POS terminals.
When the shopper pays with Google Pay in apps and on websites, Google Pay shows a payment sheet where they select a card and confirm the purchase.
Google Pay can store cards as a DPAN (a device token, considered strongly authenticated) or an FPAN. For DPAN transactions, Adyen's API does not suggest a redirect to 3D Secure. For FPAN transactions, Adyen's API can suggest a redirect, and Adyen recommends 3D Secure to obtain liability shift.
Requirements at a high level
Google Pay availability depends on the shopper's card, country or region, and browser. Refer to Google's lists of supported payment methods, available countries, and supported browsers.
The shopper needs a supported card available in their Google account.
Enabling and onboarding
Google Pay is accepted through Adyen and must be enabled on your merchant account. Before you can activate Google Pay, you must already have Mastercard and Visa enabled on your account. Google Pay does not require any extra certificate or domain setup, so you simply request it. Contact Valpay to enable Google Pay for your account.
How it integrates
Google Pay works through Adyen Drop-in and Components.
With Drop-in and Components, Adyen returns the eligible payment methods per transaction, so Google Pay appears for shoppers when it is supported and enabled on your account. See Supported Payment Methods.
The payment then follows the standard payment flow, and you confirm the final outcome from the Adyen webhook. See Standard Payment Flow.
Whether you implement 3D Secure depends on the token type and the liability shift you want. See Security & Compliance ▸ 3D Secure (SCA).
