Offer customers a fast, secure checkout on mobile and desktop with Google Pay.

Google Pay is another quick and secure payment option that streamlines the purchase process for your customers, especially on mobile. Enabled by default for Squarespace Payments and Stripe customers, Google Pay supports customers using their digital wallet for express checkout with no additional transaction fees. 

Commerce features are available in the Basic, Core, Plus, Advanced, Business, Commerce Basic, and Commerce Advanced plans. To learn more, visit Choosing the right Squarespace plan.

How customers pay with Google Pay

Eligible customers can click the Google Pay button that appears on your Squarespace checkout page to complete their transaction. When a customer selects Google Pay as a payment option:

• The shopper's saved billing and shipping information is automatically entered.
• Shipping and tax charges will display after clicking the Google Pay button.
• The lowest-cost shipping method is selected by default; customers can update it in the Google Pay interface.
• For donations, no shipping address is required.
• Customers can opt out of Google Pay by selecting a different payment method at checkout.

Limitations

• Subscription products: It’s not possible to sell subscription or paywall products using Google Pay.
• Free shipping discounts: If free shipping discounts are restricted to certain shipping methods, they may not apply correctly at Google Pay checkout.To work around this, consider using a flat-rate shipping option with fulfillment profiles.
• Local pickup: Google Pay displays the buyer's address even when a local pickup option is selected. To help customers clearly identify these options, we recommend renaming pickup methods to include clear text (e.g., "Soho Local Pickup" instead of just "Soho").
• Custom forms: Customers need to complete any required custom forms before selecting Google Pay. If the form is skipped, your customers may be prompted to fill it out before continuing to check out.

Review Google Pay transactions

Google Pay orders appear in the Payments and Donations panels as “Google Pay” transactions. To learn more, visit Viewing payments or Managing donations.

Test a Google Pay transaction

To place a test order with Google Pay so you can see how customers use it, check out on your store or make a donation using Chrome on a PC or Android device.

This will charge the credit card you've connected to Google Pay, but you can cancel and refund the order or donation to remove this charge. A non-refundable Squarespace Commerce transaction fee may apply to your test order.

Tip: If you don’t see the Google Pay option at checkout, ensure that the order total is greater that $0.00.
