Google Pay - Seamless Transactions with LEDGERS

Google Pay, previously known as Google Tez, Pay with Google, or Android Pay, is an innovative digital wallet platform and online payment system developed by Google. It empowers users to execute in-app and contactless payments using their Android devices, such as phones, tablets, or watches.

In India, Google Pay is closely integrated with the UPI (Unified Payments Interface) payment infrastructure. This integration allows anyone with a UPI account to use Google Pay for sending or receiving payments seamlessly.

For merchants possessing a UPI account, configuring LEDGERS to accept payments from customers with active Google Pay accounts is a straightforward process. This enhances the convenience of digital transactions.

Utilize LEDGERS to generate an estimate or invoice that includes an enabled payment link. Upon creation, the customer receives this link. When clicked, it directs them to a payment page where Google Pay can be selected as a payment method if enabled.

Below are the outlined steps for completing a Google Pay transaction on mobile devices:

Customer selects Google Pay on the estimate or invoice page. Note: If Google Pay is not installed on the customer's device, the option won't appear during checkout.

Customer authorizes the payment in the Google Pay app. Depending on the device, verification might occur within the Google Pay app, or the customer might be taken directly to the UPI PIN screen.
Payment completion. Once the payment is authorized, the transaction concludes, and the customer is redirected to the receipt page.
