Enabling Google Pay

Note

Only stores using Shopify Payments can use this feature. Refer to the list of supported countries to find out if Shopify Payments is available to you.

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.

Note

You don't pay any extra fees for accepting Google Pay. You continue to pay the normal processing fees associated with your payment provider.

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.
