Receive a payment through Google Pay

closed beta release

We are currently in closed beta for Google Pay. If you are interested to be part of the closed beta release, please reach out to support@payrexhq.com.

Learn how to receive a payment from your customer when they use Google Pay™.

Google Pay lets your customers pay in your app or website using any credit or debit card saved to their Google Account. PayRex allows you, as a merchant, to request any credit or debit card payment stored in your customer's Google account.

The Google Pay payment flow​

At checkout, your customer can select Google Pay as the preferred payment method. Once your customer clicks the pay button, Google Pay shows a modal that lists all the debit or credit cards stored within your customer's Google account. Your customer should select a stored card to complete the payment.

Low-code integration​

PayRex offers a low-code solution that gives you more payment integration control.

  • Checkout: This lets you redirect your customers to a PayRex-hosted checkout page.
  • Elements: A UI component that you can embed into your website. When your customer is ready to complete a purchase, you create a PaymentIntent and configure how you want to display payment methods.
  • Pages: Always-on payment pages that your customers can access any time to pay for your products and services. With Pages, you can receive payments right away without building a website.

Receiving payment through Google Pay​

Google Pay is not considered a dedicated payment method within the PayRex platform. It is one way to complement our card payment method by simplifying the card input of your customer. If you have already integrated our card payment method, you can proceed with the next steps below. If you have not yet integrated our card payment method, please implement it first by checking this guide.

1. Register your payment domain​

If you are using our direct API integration for card payments, you must register the domains where PayRex is integrated. Go to your Dashboard settings > Payment Domains and register every domain where PayRex is integrated.

If you are using one of our no-code tools, you can skip this step, as we automatically registered the PayRex-hosted Payment Pages as payment domains.

2. Enable Google Pay from Dashboard​

If you have already integrated the card payment method, there is no additional integration step for Google Pay. All you have to do is enable Google Pay from your list of allowed payment methods.

In the PayRex Dashboard, go to Settings > Payment Methods, then enable Google Pay. Once it is enabled, you should see the Google Pay widget from your PayRex integration.

Final notes​

If you provide Google Pay as a payment method to your customers, you must use the official Google Pay logo and button assets in compliance with Google Pay Android brand guidelines and Google Pay web brand guidelines, without modifications to the Google Pay asset colors, proportions, or appearance.
