Google Pay Settings

To access the Google Pay Settings page, navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Google Pay (Stripe) by Payment Plugins in your WordPress admin dashboard, or visit:

https://your-site.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-settings&tab=checkout&section=stripe_googlepay

The Google Pay Settings page is where you configure Google Pay for your WooCommerce store through Stripe. Google Pay lets customers complete checkout using payment methods saved in their Google account, providing a fast one-tap experience on both mobile and desktop.

info

As of version 4.0.0, Google Pay no longer requires a Google Merchant ID or approval from the Google API team. Stripe's native integration handles merchant verification directly, so any store with a supported Stripe account can begin accepting Google Pay immediately.

Enabled​

Controls whether Google Pay is available as a payment option on your store. When disabled, Google Pay buttons will not appear anywhere on your site regardless of other settings.

Default: Disabled

General Settings​

Title​

The name customers see for Google Pay during checkout. This appears as the payment option label in the payment methods list.

Default: Google Pay

Description​

Additional text displayed below the Google Pay option at checkout. Leave blank for a cleaner checkout experience without additional text.

Default: Empty (no description shown)

Enable On All Browsers​

When enabled, Google Pay will be available on all browsers that support it, not just Chrome. Disabling this restricts Google Pay to Chrome only.

Default: Enabled

Credit Card Display​

Controls how Google Pay transactions appear to customers on order confirmations, account pages, and subscription management. This setting determines the format used to identify the underlying payment method for record-keeping and future reference.

Default: Google Pay name format

Charge Type​

Determines when customer funds are collected. "Capture" immediately charges the customer when the order is placed. "Authorize" only reserves the funds and requires capture later, which is useful when you need to verify inventory or fulfillment before collecting payment.

  • Capture: Funds are collected immediately at checkout.
  • Authorize: Funds are reserved but not collected until the payment is captured.

Default: Capture

Payment Sections​

Controls where Google Pay buttons appear across your store. Multiple sections can be selected.

  • Checkout: Displays Google Pay in the payment methods section of the checkout page.
  • Product Page: Displays a Google Pay button on individual product pages for quick single-item purchases.
  • Cart Page: Displays a Google Pay button on the cart page for express checkout.
  • Mini Cart: Displays a Google Pay button in the mini cart widget.
  • Express Checkout: Displays Google Pay in the express checkout row at the top of the checkout page.

Default: Checkout, Product Page, Cart Page

Order Status​

Sets the WooCommerce order status after a successful Google Pay payment. "Default" lets WooCommerce determine the appropriate status automatically — virtual and downloadable products are set to "Completed" while physical products are set to "Processing." Selecting a specific status overrides this behavior for all Google Pay orders.

Default: Default

Icon​

Controls the Google Pay icon style displayed next to the payment method on the checkout page.

  • With Rounded Outline: The Google Pay logo enclosed in a rounded border.
  • With Outline: The Google Pay logo with a standard rectangular border.
  • Standard: The Google Pay logo without a border.

Default: With Rounded Outline

Button Options​

Controls the fill color of the Google Pay button displayed on product, cart, and checkout pages.

  • Black: A black button — suited for light-colored backgrounds.
  • White: A white button — suited for dark-colored backgrounds.
