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.

Test Google Pay

You'll need to get Google Chrome or use an Android-powered device to test Google Pay.

You can test Google Pay using your Paddle sandbox account.

Turn on Google Pay for your Paddle account.
Sign up for a Google Account, if you don't already have one.
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.
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.
Open a checkout and choose Google Pay as the payment method.
Choose one of the Google Pay test cards and complete purchase.

If you're using Google Chrome on desktop, make sure the Allow sites to check if you have payment methods option is turned on in Chrome settings. This is turned on by default.
