This document provides step-by-step instructions for enabling and disabling Google Pay with the Square payment form object (SqPaymentForm).

Enable the GooglePay digital wallet button

When you have completed the steps in this guide, your payment form will include a button like this button.

Assumptions

This guide makes the following assumptions:

  • You have read the Payment Form Overview. This is a how-to guide and does not cover general functionality of the payment form.
  • You have followed the required steps from the Payment Form Setup guide. This guide focuses specifically on customizing SqPaymentForm with Google Pay and does not cover general setup for SqPaymentForm.

Requirements and Limitations

Step 1: Add the Google Pay button to your payment page

The SqPaymentForm object is initialized with the Google Pay button id so SqPaymentForm can detect a button click event. When a user clicks the button, SqPaymentForm renders the Google Pay digital wallet user interface. Ensure that a button element for Google Pay exists on your website:

<button id="sq-google-pay" class="button-google-pay"></button>

Step 2: Enable the Google Pay parameter in the SqPaymentForm object

The payment form Setup Guide enables Google Pay by default. If you are not using the example JavaScript (or previously disabled Google Pay), initialize the googlePay parameter with the HTML button ID you set in Step 1:

Add the highlighted code to your payment page JavaScript.

 1// Create and initialize a payment form object
 2var paymentForm = new SqPaymentForm({
 3
 4  ...
 5
 6  // Initialize Google Pay button ID
 7  googlePay: {
 8    elementId: 'sq-google-pay'
 9  },
10
11  ...
12
13});

Step 3: Update the methodsSupported callback function

Enable the Google Pay button when Google Pay is available by adding the following lines to the methodsSupported callback:

 1    methodsSupported: function (methods) {
 2
 3      ...
 4
 5      var googlePayBtn = document.getElementById('sq-google-pay');
 6
 7      if (methods.googlePay === true) {
 8        googlePayBtn.style.display = 'inline-block';
 9      }
10      ...
11    },

Step 4: Customize the createPaymentRequest callback function

To process payments, customize the createPaymentRequest callback function by editing the paymentRequest object. The block should be populated with the customer's purchase totals, default shipping contact information, and boolean values that determine whether the digital wallet will let the customer provide a shipping address.

In the following example, the createPaymentRequest callback function is updated to return a paymentRequest object that asks the digital wallet to allow shipping address selection, a default shipping contact, purchase total, tax and estimated shipping amount.

Note: Replace the example values with customer purchase details.

    /*
     * callback function: createPaymentRequest
     * Triggered when: a digital wallet payment button is clicked.
     */
    createPaymentRequest: function () {
      var paymentRequestJson = {
        requestShippingAddress: true,
        requestBillingInfo: true,
        shippingContact: {
          familyName: "CUSTOMER LAST NAME",
          givenName: "CUSTOMER FIRST NAME",
          email: "mycustomer@example.com",
          country: "USA",
          region: "CA",
          city: "San Francisco",
          addressLines: [
            "1455 Market St #600"
          ],
          postalCode: "94103",
          phone:"14255551212"
        },
        currencyCode: "USD",
        countryCode: "US",
        total: {
          label: "MERCHANT NAME",
          amount: "85.00",
          pending: false
        },
        lineItems: [
          {
            label: "Subtotal",
            amount: "60.00",
            pending: false
          },
          {
            label: "Shipping",
            amount: "19.50",
            pending: true
          },
          {
            label: "Tax",
            amount: "5.50",
            pending: false
          }
        ]
      };

      return paymentRequestJson;
    },

Digital wallet services expect payment requests in a specific format. The result is that the object created in createPaymentRequest is functionally different from Square's internal data types. For example, monetary amounts are provided as a string representation of a float with 2 decimal places. (e.g., "15.00") rather than integers.

Step 5: Customize the Google Pay button

The payment form Setup Guide includes a example CSS template that styles the Google Pay button using an example from Google.

Googlepaybutton

If you are not using the SqPaymentForm templates, or previously disabled Google Pay functionality, add the following CSS to your stylesheet:

/* Indicates how Google Pay button will appear */
.button-google-pay {
  min-width: 200px;
  min-height: 40px;
  padding: 11px 24px;
  margin: 10px;
  background-color: #000;

The SqPaymentForm supports CSS customization for the Google Pay button. You are responsible for ensuring your changes adhere to Google's brand guidelines.

Optional: Disable the GooglePay button

You may want to disable the GooglePay button temporarily. Maybe you want to enable or disable the button based on a runtime condition. In either case, you probably want to leave all of the button configuration code in place so that you can enable or disable a digital wallet button with a few lines of JavaScript.

Optional: Remove the GooglePay button

See Remove wallet payments configurations to learn about removing the GooglePay button and supporting configuration.
