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 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 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.
