Enable Google Pay for Web

Google Pay for Web is a dedicated button for custom websites, suitable for those not utilizing PayFrame or PayFields integrations. It allows the creation of hosted payment sites using Payrix as a secure gateway for processing card information through Google Pay tokens. The tutorial guides integrating the Google Pay API with Payrix, covering aspects like registration, API configuration, and payment method management, along with valuable insights and code examples. Key steps include defining the payrixTokenizationSpecification and modifying JavaScript for transactions, ensuring compliance with Payrix's requirements for capturing cardholder information, and managing transaction amounts

Tip: To enable Google Pay for PayFields or PayFrame integrations, please refer to the following resources:

Getting Started

To get started enabling Google Pay for Web, follow the steps below:

Register for access to the Google Pay Business Console.
Get your Merchant ID for Google Pay environments.
For production access to the Google Pay API and to register your Merchant account with Google, check out Google Pay developer documentation. You'll need to register at the Google Pay Business Console to get access to your Google Pay API Merchant ID.

Note: Referrers can integrate Google Pay with Payrix, but please note that we do not provide support for Google’s “Integration Checklist” or the Google Pay API regarding setup or troubleshooting.

Configuring Google Pay on the Payrix Gateway

The following example shows how to integrate Google Pay with the Payrix gateway. Google provides framework-specific examples in their Google Pay GitHub Repository. The setup steps below utilize the HTML example provided by Google.

Configure Payrix as the Google Pay Payment Gateway

In your code, define the payrixTokenizationSpecification, replacing {{your_payrix_gateway_merchantid}} with the appropriate values for sandbox testing or production.

Please refer to Google's Google Pay Setup Tutorial for specific guidance on setting up Google Pay integration for the web.

  // Update the `gatewayMerchantId` property with your own value.
  // This id will be different for TEST and PRODUCTION environments
  const payrixTokenizationSpecification = {
    type: 'PAYMENT_GATEWAY',
    parameters: {
      gateway: 'payrix',
      gatewayMerchantId: '{{your_payrix_gateway_merchantid}}',
    },
  };

  Object.freeze(payrixTokenizationSpecification);

Configure Google Pay Transaction Parameters

Payrix gateway mandates that the cardholder's first and last name be provided when processing payments. To comply, you must modify the definition of baseGooglePayRequest to set billingAddressRequired: true. Additionally, include the FULL format for billingAddressParameters or supply the cardholder's first and last name through other means.

  const baseGooglePayRequest = {
    apiVersion: 2,
    apiVersionMinor: 0,
    allowedPaymentMethods: [
      {
        type: 'CARD',
        parameters: {
          allowedAuthMethods: ['PAN_ONLY', 'CRYPTOGRAM_3DS'],
          allowedCardNetworks: ['AMEX', 'DISCOVER', 'INTERAC', 'JCB', 'MASTERCARD', 'VISA'],
          billingAddressRequired: true,
          billingAddressParameters: {
            format: 'FULL',
          },
        },
        tokenizationSpecification: payrixTokenizationSpecification,
      },
    ],
    merchantInfo,
  };

The total transaction amount for the Payrix gateway is represented as an integer in cents. It is essential to convert this value accurately from the transactionInfo.totalPrice provided by Google Pay. To enhance your JavaScript for creating requests to the Payrix Gateway, please incorporate the following helper functions.

  function extractIntegerCents(totalPrice) {
    // Use regex to match a formatted number
    const match = totalPrice.match(/-?\d+(?:,\d{3})*(?:\.\d+)?/);
    if (match) {
      // Remove commas and convert to float
      const cleanedNumber = match[0].replace(/,/g, '');
      return parseFloat(cleanedNumber) * 100;
    }
    return NaN; // Return NaN if no number is found
  }

  function getPayrixGatewayRequestData({ gatewayMerchantId, totalPrice, paymentDataResponse}) {
    const paymentToken = JSON.parse(paymentDataResponse.paymentMethodData.tokenizationData.token);
    const [ first, ...last ] = paymentDataResponse.paymentMethodData.info.billingAddress.name.split(' ');
    return {
      merchant: gatewayMerchantId, // Payrix Merchant ID
      total: extractIntegerCents(totalPrice), // integer transaction total as cents
      type: 'sale',
      origin: 2, // E-Commerce
      entryMode: 10, // Google Pay
      payment: {
        encrypted: 'googlePaymentToken',
        paymentData: paymentToken
      },
      address1: paymentDataResponse.paymentMethodData.info.billingAddress.address1,
      address2: paymentDataResponse.paymentMethodData.info.billingAddress.address2,
      city: paymentDataResponse.paymentMethodData.info.billingAddress.locality,
      state: paymentDataResponse.paymentMethodData.info.billingAddress.administrativeArea,
      zip: paymentDataResponse.paymentMethodData.info.billingAddress.postalCode,
      first,
      last: last.join(' '),
    };
  }

Set Up Google Pay Payment Success Handlers to Integrate with Payrix

To modify the Google Pay payment success handler, update it to call the Payrix gateway using the provided helpers. Ensure to replace {{your_payrix_gateway_url}} and {{your_payrix_gateway_apikey}} with the correct values for testing in the sandbox environment or for going live in production when you are ready.

Configure Payrix Gateway Response Handlers

To effectively manage the Payrix gateway response, your code could be structured as follows, particularly if you are utilizing promises:

Conclusion
