The Google Pay API facilitates fast and easy online purchases. With the API set up, shoppers don't have to manually enter their payment information on your site. Instead, their payment information, such as their name, email, billing and shipping addresses, are already pre-entered in a payments selection dialog that's displayed to the shopper. When the shopper selects their payment type, the API returns the payment information through a supported payments gateway, or it's directly processed on your encrypted secure server.
When you integrate with the Google Pay API, you offer a one-touch checkout experience to hundreds of millions of Google users who have their credit or debit card payment information saved in their Google accounts.
