Enabling Google Pay as a Checkout Option

SHOPLINE supports Google Pay, offering your customers a quick and secure checkout experience. With Google Pay, customers can bypass the manual entry of credit card information and shipping addresses. A simple tap of the Google Pay button automatically fills in their billing and shipping details. After verifying their identity, they can complete their purchase effortlessly. Plus, there are no additional fees for using Google Pay's accelerated checkout. You'll only pay the standard processing fees charged by your payment service provider.

This article guides you through enabling Google Pay and outlines the necessary requirements.
