What's new?
Express checkout now supports Google Pay for Android, in addition to Apple Pay for iOS devices. Express checkout is a checkout variant designed for mobile that prioritizes a digital wallet for a frictionless, one-click payment experience.
Paddle automatically presents whichever wallet is available on the customer's device. For example, Apple Pay on iPhone, iPad, and Safari on Mac, or Google Pay on Android, Chromebook, and Google Chrome.
How it works
Express checkout is designed for optimum mobile conversion. It prioritizes Apple Pay or Google Pay, presenting whichever wallet is available on the customer's device.
If neither wallet is available, the checkout automatically falls back to alternative payment methods, the same as before.
There are no other behavior changes to express checkout. Google Pay works the same way as Apple Pay does for express checkout.
You can integrate using Paddle.js or hosted checkout. If you already integrated express checkout, no changes are required to your existing express checkout integration to pick up Google Pay support.
Next steps
To get started, make sure Google Pay is turned on for your Paddle account, then pass variant: 'express' in your Paddle.js settings or variant=express as a query parameter in your hosted checkout URL.
