Google Pay

With Google Pay, your customers pay with a card stored in their Google account. They don't enter card details. Google Pay works on mobile phones and computers, in most browsers and operating systems.

You can accept Google Pay in two ways:

Hosted payment pageCopy Anchor Link

On the hosted payment page, you don't need to register with Google. Once Google Pay is active in your project, it appears on the hosted payment page along with your other payment methods. To send your customer straight to Google Pay, create the order with google-pay as the payment method:

curl https://api.secure.vayapay.com/v1/orders/ \
  --user "$API_KEY:" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "currency": "EUR",
    "amount": 995,
    "merchant_order_id": "EXAMPLE001",
    "description": "Example Google Pay order",
    "return_url": "https://www.example.com/order/EXAMPLE001",
    "webhook_url": "https://www.example.com/webhook",
    "transactions": [
      {
        "payment_method": "google-pay"
      }
    ],
    "customer": {
      "merchant_customer_id": "123456789",
      "email_address": "user@example.com",
      "first_name": "John",
      "last_name": "Smith",
      "address_type": "billing",
      "address": "100 Main St",
      "postal_code": "SW1A 1AA",
      "city": "London",
      "country": "GB",
      "locale": "en",
      "phone_numbers": ["+441234567890"],
      "ip_address": "198.51.100.1"
    }
  }'

Redirect your customer to the payment_url of the transaction in the response. Then handle the result as for any other payment: confirm the payment.
