Google Pay

Google Pay is a digital wallet linked to people's Google Accounts. It works with Android-powered devices and Google Chrome on all platforms, except on iPhones and iPads.

With over 150 million active users, it's popular with Android users, especially in the United States and Europe.

You don't need to sign up for Google Pay for Business to add Google Pay as a payment option with Paddle.

How it works

Customer chooses Google Pay

Turn on Google Pay in a couple of clicks in your Paddle dashboard. Paddle automatically presents Google Pay as a payment method for customers paying in a supported country on a supported platform.

Customer selects a card

Customers choose a saved payment card in their Google Wallet that they'd like to use to pay. They can check address and other details before confirming.

Customer confirms purchase

Google Pay prompts the customer to confirm their purchase. If they're using Google Chrome or an Android-powered device, they may be asked to authenticate using on-device biometrics.

Payment complete

If successful, Paddle Checkout shows a success screen or enters your success workflow.

Accept Google Pay

1. Go to Paddle > Checkout > Checkout settings.
2. On the General tab, check Google Pay.
3. Click Save to apply.

Test Google Pay

You can test Google Pay using your Paddle sandbox account.

1. Turn on Google Pay for your Paddle account.
2. Sign up for a Google Account, if you don't already have one.
3. Add at least one card to Google Pay. You can use test cards when working with Google Pay, but you must have at least one valid card in your wallet.
4. Join the Google Group for test cards. This automatically adds test cards to your wallet when Google Pay detects a test environment, like Paddle sandbox.
5. Open a checkout and choose Google Pay as the payment method.
6. Choose one of the Google Pay test cards and complete purchase.
