How it works
When a user taps the Google Pay payment button, they see a payment sheet. It displays the payment methods they've saved to their Google Account and optional fields such as a shipping address. Users can then select a payment method quickly and provide a shipping address if required, or they can add new information.

Step by Step Set-Up Guide
Once you have decided to support Google Pay, there is a set of steps that need to be done. This guide is applicable for both, in-app and also web payments.
1. Verify if your Acquirer supports Google Pay, for the card networks supported and support for Android device tokens.
This information will be provided by support team: .
2. If you already do not have one, request creation of Merchant ID, unique identifier that represents a merchant in platform. You need to use Merchant ID also in Google Pay API.
Please contact support team: .
3. Integrate Google Pay API: https://developers.google.com/pay/api/.
Apps: https://developers.google.com/pay/api/android/overview
Web: https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/overview
a. For payment tokenization method, choose “GATEWAY”, with following values:
const tokenizationSpecification = { type: “PAYMENT GATEWAY”, parameters: { 'gateway': 'computop', 'gatewayMerchantId': 'yourComputopMerchantID' } |
b. For supported payment card networks, choose the ones your acquirer is supporting:
const allowedCardNetworks = ["AMEX", "MASTERCARD", "VISA"]; |
c. The Google Pay API may return cards on file on Google.com (PAN_ONLY) and/or a device token on an Android device authenticated with a 3-D Secure cryptogram (CRYPTOGRAM_3DS).
Axepta Online only supports CRYPTOGRAM_3DS.
const allowedCardAuthMethods = ["CRYPTOGRAM_3DS"]; |
If you are operating in EEA region, please define CRYPTOGRAM_3DS only, as these payments are already Strong Customer Authenticated in Google Pay wallet and therefore compliant with PSD2 SCA regulation.
Note: If you receive Soft Decline in Response, you need to restart the payment with 3-D Secure authentication.
d. In response from Google Pay API, you should receive Token similar to this:
{
"signature": "MEQCIC4z/QHSrzekRkkuk3vGYxBTBdNgEQl5XFHx0Wk5fFLIUAiB3+q227havAJdagfGZaMXbefhatdJE7Df2qrIoKDv1Og==",
"protocolVersion": "ECv1",
"signedMessage": "{\"encryptedMessage\":\"bOYRmExGeCsBrFqESt7kd9O1FN+vQZf2KG0UNYC8jNA+VVf9nQeK7lDvU8k37cH+LOziJQkHNL2OxDHIk6GoRV1BrXprwBnAJR0O2VnCUH8lsqq0ELwemeqW364Ir8cU/hDFzWNp+38H25JVDAMExZBKodMMTzUXXgyO+s5jOyAl8jUhnAw3fTRPkefuYsE8NFK5tvcs4L29h87Zo7ot0/8XrUhXt9b/Fld1LEthkuPSN+K1eEFP7bseB6jjRdHnwYAdqiE3iOmh71pcDmNIyrlWRj74UJaszeerZW7DoZNx11oN7fouq/8fe1vklsr/e+y/RSG2nQMWg5yR/fMTfqCyabTDhJMvMM1Zhe91+dQ0/xi/zKRgsIhiongJUjYtoSNIjUHnMLRuVTKdjX50CCI1QOiBtr9h0bOLePhxw9cLYeU1KwCfYJyt28DBKCvaWFSbCl+dzNcZ9B83kv\",\"ephemeralPublicKey\":\"BFUju73/IT/KqnB/nc0W3BaL3BXFybrbYaPiMCKXIcg78PbslwV7MRUq3SpWEDEJT6pakLCvf34412HbDGCpsa4\\u003d\",\"tag\":\"xIuCUWB2U6yWEfidsJpQaa+leU/kqS522JLOnrnk42g\\u003d\"}"
}
You need to Base64 encode the whole token string and include it in parameter TokenExt.

Google Pay process flow
interface
Calling the interface
Two transactions are created when making a credit card payment via Google Pay. In the Google Pay transaction the required credit card data are determined first and the actual credit card transaction is then carried out automatically. This takes place via a server-to-server connection and supports all usual credit card transaction options. The difference here, however, is that you don't transmit the credit card information, which you don't know. Instead, you transmit the Token generated by Google Pay, which contains the required credit card data in encrypted form.
In order to make a credit card payment with Google Pay, please use the following URL:
googlepay.aspx |
In addition you can submit any parameters that are applicable or required for a credit card payment (without credit card data). More information about this you can find within Card processing.

Capture / Credit / Reversal
Captures, credits and reversals do not refer to the Google Pay transaction but directly to the credit card transaction. More information about this you can find within Card processing.
Batch processing via the interface
Captures, credits and reversals via batch do not refer to the Google Pay transaction but directly to the credit card transaction. More information about this you can find within the document Card processing.
