Google Pay™ with OpenCart

Google Pay™ lets your customers pay with the press of a button — using payment methods saved to their Google Accounts. Google Pay™ works for both customers shopping at physical store and online in your apps or websites. Now, this is also possible with OpenCart's extension.

With Google Pay™ extension, you can offer one-click checkout for your customers, reduce abandoned cart rate and increase conversion.

Here is how you can set up Google Pay™ today:

1. By using Google Pay™ extension, you adhere to the Google Pay™ APIs Acceptable Use Policy and accept the terms defined in the Google Pay™ API Terms of Service.

2. Download the Google Pay™ OpenCart Extension for the marketplace

3. Install it via the Extension Installer or upload all file into the root folder of your OpenCart installation.

4. Go to Admin -> Extensions -> Payments and click install next to Google Pay™

5. Go to Google Pay™ settings.

IMPORTANT NOTES Google Pay™ only generates transaction data, but does not actually process or settle the payment. Thus, the transaction data has to be sent to a Payment Service Provider (PSP), such as Braintree.
