Prerequisites

Before you get started, review the following prerequisites:

Important note about payment token

If you're using a payments service provider, you need a valid payment token for your app in production mode. You can view the configuration for a number of providers in the Google documentation..

During development you can use the example below for the gateway token configuration when creating a payment request.

ts
parameters: {
    gateway: 'example', // in production replace with your gateway provider
    gatewayMerchantId: 'exampleGatewayMerchantId' // in production replace with your gateway provider merchant ID
}

Use @nativescript/google-pay

To implement Google Pay in your app, follow the steps below:

  1. Register GooglePayBtn view in your app and add it markup.
xml
<android>
    <GooglePayBtn
        cardNetworks="VISA, AMEX, DISCOVER"
        authMethods="PAN_ONLY, CRYPTOGRAM_3DS"
        tap="onGooglePayTap"
        width="100%"
        height="40"
        buttonType="PAY_BLACK"
    ></GooglePayBtn>
</android>
  1. Listen to the GooglePayBtn tap event

Tapping the GooglePayBtn initiates payment with Google Pay. In the tap event handler(onGooglePayTap function ), manage the payments with Google Pay as follows:

  1. Listen to the GooglePayEvents.PaymentSuccess event on the button instance.
  • The event is emitted when a user approves your app to make payments with their Google Pay payments data.
  • The GooglePayEvents.PaymentSuccess event's callback receives a token and other data, of PaymentSuccessEventData from Google Pay. You send that to your payments services provider for payment processing.
ts
googlePayBtn.once(
  GooglePayEvents.PaymentSuccess,
  async (args: PaymentSuccessEventData) => {
    const payloadToBackend = {
      amount: 25.2,
      method: '3DS',
      '3DS': {
        signature: args.data.paymentMethodData.tokenizationData.token.signature,
        type: 'G', // for Google
        version:
          args.data.paymentMethodData.tokenizationData.token.protocolVersion,
        data: args.data.paymentMethodData.tokenizationData.token.signedMessage,
      },
    }

    // send the user payments data to your payments services provider here
    const result = await someHttpCallToPaymentServiceProvider(payloadToBackend)
  }
)
2. Present the user with the payment sheet.

To present the user with the payment sheet to complete the transaction, call the
`createPaymentRequest()` passing it a [GooglePayRequest](#googlepayrequest) object.

  ```ts
  const options = {
    environment: 'development', // change this to production when in prod mode
    theme: 'light',
    merchantInfo: {
      merchantName: 'YOUR_MERCHANT_NAME'
    },
    allowedPaymentMethods: {
      type: AllowedPaymentMethodsType.CARD,
      parameters: {
        allowPrepaidCards: true,
        allowCreditCards: true,
        billingAddressRequired: true,
        billingAddressParameters: {
          format: BillingAddressParametersFormat.MIN, // FULL
          phoneNumberRequired: true
        }
      },
      tokenizationSpecification: {
        type: TokenizationSpecificationType.PAYMENT_GATEWAY,
        parameters: {
          gateway: 'example', // in production replace with your gateway provider
          gatewayMerchantId: 'exampleGatewayMerchantId' // in production replace with your gateway provider merchant ID
        }
      }
    },
    transactionInfo: {
      currencyCode: 'USD',
      countryCode: 'US',
      // transactionId: '283999292929929', // A unique ID that identifies a transaction attempt. Merchants can use an existing ID or generate a specific one for Google Pay transaction attempts. This field is required when you send callbacks to the Google Transaction Events API.
      totalPriceStatus: TotalPriceStatusValue.FINAL,
      totalPrice: 25.20,
      totalPriceLabel: 'Total',
      checkoutOption: CheckoutOptionValue.DEFAULT
    },
    emailRequired: true,
    shippingAddressRequired: true,
    shippingAddressParameters: {
      allowedCountryCodes: ['US'],
      phoneNumberRequired: true
    }
  } as GooglePayRequest;

  googlePayBtn.createPaymentRequest(options).catch(err => {
    console.log('error with create payment request', err);
  });
  ```
