Payment flow
If you use paymentMethodsConfiguration parameter to only show the payment method(s) that are preferred for the specific payment, Google Pay can also be selected. Google Pay is available only on supported platforms.
Google Pay is defined as a Wallet and can be displayed alone and together with other payment methods. It is not recommended to show Google Pay alone if you do not detect the device used in the webshop before you are going to show the payment options.
If Google Pay is used alone on unsupported browser/platform, there will be no visible payment methods and it is naturally a poor user experience. Google Pay can be combined with other Wallet payment methods or together with cards.
Recommended usage of the paymentMethodsConfiguration parameter for Google Pay.
If you have more than one wallet configured, you can use:
paymentMethodsConfiguration:[{"name":"Card"},{"name":"GooglePay"}]
