Google Pay

  • How does Google Pay work?
    Credit and debit cards that are added to the Google Pay app on supported Android devices are assigned a device-specific tokenized card number called a DPAN that Braintree will then use to process transactions.
  • Which currencies does Google Pay support?
    Any currencies that you can process on your Google Pay-supported processor(s).
  • Which card types are supported?
    Visa, MasterCard, and American Express are supported for Google Pay. For additional information on customer availability, please click here.
  • How will I identify Google Pay payments?
    Google Pay cards will appear as a new payment instrument type with its own logo.
  • How are disputes handled?
    The payment instruments behind Google Pay are credit and debit cards, and so chargebacks will look and behave the same as any other credit card chargeback on your account.
  • Is recurring billing supported?
    Yes, Google Pay cards can be used to process recurring transactions.
  • Is vaulting supported?
    Google Pay cards can be vaulted, but we recommend vaulting only for split shipment and recurring transactions, as Google Pay cryptograms cannot be reused.
  • How does fraud checking (AVS/CVV) work with Google Pay?
    Since Google uses a tokenization system to encrypt card information and reduce the risk of fraud, CVV and AVS are not necessary for use with Google Pay.
