This article will guide merchants through enabling your Authorize.net account for Google Pay (formerly Android Pay).

Understanding Google Pay

The Google Pay API enables merchants to accept payments from Google Pay users without entering payment information manually. Google Pay supports transactions paid through American Express, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, and Visa payment cards. 

The Authorize.net Accept Mobile SDKs for Google Pay enable mobile developers to integrate payment card payment functionality into their mobile applications without passing sensitive card data back to their application servers. For example, you can accept payment card data directly, or use the Google Pay services on your customer's phone.
