Enabling Google Pay
Google Pay lets customers pay easily and securely through your online store using an accelerated checkout process. When a customer pays for their order by using Google Pay, they don't need to manually enter their credit card information or shipping address. The customer taps the Google Pay button and Google Pay provides that information to the payment provider. Learn more about accelerated checkouts.

Troubleshooting
Google Pay not showing in the Shopify admin
Google Pay is only available to merchants on Shopify Payments.
Discounts not applied to purchases
If Google Pay is not applying discounts, then check that a valid address was selected in the Google Pay window. For products that don't require a shipping address, such as digital products, Google won't apply the discount.
