Google Pay Component

Add Google Pay to an existing Components integration.

On this page, you can find additional configuration for adding Google Pay to your Components integration.

When shoppers select Google Pay, the Component presents the Google Pay payment sheet where shoppers choose a card they want to use. If shoppers select a card that requires 3D Secure authentication, the Component also handles redirecting shoppers to another website to complete the verification.

Before you begin

Before starting your Google Pay integration:

  • Build a Components integration.
  • Follow the setup steps in the Google Pay documentation.
  • Add Google Pay in your Customer Area.
  • API reference

    You don't need to send additional fields for Google Pay. To see optional fields that you can send for all payment methods, choose the endpoint you integrated:

    Component configuration

    Step 1: Load the Google Pay API JavaScript library

    We recommend that you preload the the Google Pay API JavaScript library, by including the
    following script in your checkout page:

    <script src="https://pay.google.com/gp/p/js/pay.js"></script>

    Step 2: Create a DOM element

    Create a DOM element on your checkout page, placing it where you want the payment method form to be rendered:

     <div id="googlepay-container"></div>

    Step 3: Create an instance of the Component

    Select which endpoint you're integrating:

    This is the default with Components v5.0.0 or later.

    There's no additional configuration you need to include for Google Pay.

    Use the create method of your AdyenCheckout instance, in this case checkout, to create the Component:

    const googlePayComponent = checkout.create('googlepay');

    Step 4: Mount the Component

    Mount the Component only after checking that Google Pay is available to the shopper:

    googlePayComponent
       .isAvailable()
       .then(() => {
           googlePayComponent.mount("#googlepay-container");
       })
       .catch(e => {
           //Google Pay is not available
       });

    Optional configuration

    You can configure the following:

    Merchant info

    Configure the merchant name rendered in the payment sheet. See MerchantInfo for more details.

    Values you set in the configuration object will override any Google Pay configuration from your back end.

    Property Description
    configuration.merchantName The merchant name you want displayed in the payment sheet. If specified, you must also specify configuration.merchantId and configuration.gatewayMerchantId.
    configuration.gatewayMerchantId The name of your Adyen merchant or company account. Required if merchantName is specified.
    configuration.merchantId Your Google Merchant ID. Required if merchantName is specified. The merchantId can be anything for testing. Before you go live, get your Google Merchant ID from the Google Pay & Wallet Console.

    To be able to use the JSON Web Token, your account must be approved by Google. Ask your Google contact if your business qualifies.

    Events

    The following event handlers are supported for Google Pay.

    Event Description
    onClick(resolve, reject) Called when the shopper clicks the Google Pay button. Call resolve() or reject() to continue or stop the payment flow.
    onChange or onSubmit Called after the shopper approves the payment on the Google Pay form. The first parameter (state) of this function contains all the necessary data to make a payment using the /payments API.
    onAuthorized Called after the shopper approves the payment on the Google Pay form. Contains the full response from Google Pay. Use this if you need additional data such as the shipping address or the shopper email.

    Recurring payments

    To make recurring Google Pay payments, you first need to create a shopper token and then make subsequent recurring transactions with the token.
    Refer to Tokenization for more information and detailed instructions.

    Test and go live

    To start testing Google Pay, log in to a Google account and create a Google Pay wallet.

    There are two approaches to using this wallet for testing:

    Enroll your wallet in Google's test card suite. Test card suite pre-populates your wallet with a group of cards to use in the TEST environment. These are related to Adyen's collection of test cards, and cover scenarios including:

    • Cards stored as FPAN
    • Cards stored as DPAN
    • Cards enabled for 3DS2

    When you start the payment flow and open the list of test cards, each card is marked with the applicable scenario.

    You can check the status of a Google Pay test payment in your Customer Area > Transactions > Payments, whether you used a card from the test card suite or or not. Remember that cards outside the test card suite are mapped to an Adyen test card of the same brand.

    For more information, see Google Pay's test environment setup for Web.

    Before you go live

    We recommend that you test the scenarios described in Google Pay’s API reference for web in your live environment.

    1. Make sure your API credential has the API Clientside Encryption Payments role. Check this in your live Customer Area or ask your Admin user to verify.
    2. Go to your live Customer Area to configure your Google Merchant ID.
    3. Complete the steps in the Google Pay API request production access.
    4. Complete the steps in the Google Pay API deploy to production documentation for Web.

    In the live environment, note that Google Pay will only be available if:

    • The shopper is logged in to their Google account.
    • The shopper has at least one valid payment method on their Google Pay account.
