How to implement Google Pay

To enable Google Pay, you will need:

  • the PayWay Net module
  • someone with Client Administrator access to enable Google Pay
  • a software developer to make changes to your website

Google Pay is available using the Hosted Payment Page and the REST API.

To turn on Google Pay:

  1. Sign in to PayWay
  2. Click Settings
  3. Click Google Pay
  4. Agree to terms and conditions and click Enable Google Pay.

Hosted Payment Page

You do not need to take any additional steps to accept Google Pay payments using the Hosted Payment Page.

REST API

These steps assume you have already implemented a Trusted Frame solution.

Step 1: Place Google Pay button

To create a Google Pay button, create a <div id="payway-payment-request-button"> and call createPaymentRequestButton in payway.js.

When your customer clicks the button, they will select their card and confirm the payment with Google.

Step 2: Receive the singleUseTokenId

Once your customer has confirmed the payment, payway.js will send the singleUseTokenId to your server.

Step 3: Process Payment

Once your server has received the singleUseTokenId, you should send a request to take a payment.
