Google Pay is payment option that allows customers using Chrome or Android devices to quickly complete their purchases.
This feature is available for all countries using Stripe.
Those based in the U.S. must be using V2 with the Fullsteam Payments payment gateway.
With Google Pay, Customers are able to quickly complete a product purchase or sign up for a club (note that Google Pay cannot be used to purchase Reservations at this time).
When using Chrome or an Android device, New/Guest Customers (those who are not logged in) will be presented with an "Google Pay" option during the first step of the Checkout or Club Signup process.
By clicking on this option, a modal will appear where customers can conveniently view all of their shipping and billing information that is already filled in from their Google account. All they need to do is simply click "Pay" to complete their purchase.
(As mentioned above, Google Pay only appears for New/Guest customers - and we may add it in the future for existing Customers).

Adding your Stripe account
Note: Stripe is needed to offer Google Pay. If you don't already have a Stripe account, follow the instructions here first to set one up.
- Once your Stripe account is set up, you will see it 'Activated' under Settings > Payments.
2. Back in your Stripe account, navigate to the Product Settings > Payments > Payment Methods - 'turn on' Google Pay and Save.
3. That's it! Now it's active.
Viewing Google Pay online
Once you have completed the steps above, if everything is set up correctly, you'll see the new "Google Pay" option online when using the Chrome browser or an Android device. (Google Pay only works in Chrome, for customers using Safari, enable Apple Pay.)
- Go to your website in Chrome.
- Make sure that you are not logged in as a Customer - as Google Pay only appears for New/Guest customers.
- Add a product to your cart and click Proceed to Checkout.
- On the first step, there will be a new option for Apple Pay.
- When clicked, Google Pay's modal will appear with their Google account information.
- The Customer can edit any information if they need to.
- Then they can confirm on the current device (desktop or Android) and the Order is complete.
If they are using a desktop computer, the payment prompt will also appear on their phone (if it's an Android).
Notes:
- Google Pay cannot be used to purchase Reservations.
- When Google Pay is used to pay for an online Purchase - or to sign up for a Club, that Payment Method is saved to the Customer's Profile.
