Google Pay gives your supporters an alternative payment option. This provides them the convenience of more options to donate how they want: Credit/Debit, PayPal, Google Pay and Apple Pay.
If you have a CardConnect payment processor, then you can enable Google Pay on all activities. If you have a payment form (Donation, Ticket Sales, etc.) created before the introduction of Google Pay in your account then you can also enable the switch within the form itself.
NOTE: Google Pay does not currently support Recurring Gifts, only one time donations.
Form Settings for Google Pay
To enable (or disable) Google Pay with an Activity, open the Activity.
Click on the Online Forms category on the left and choose the form if you have more than one form.
Open the Payment Information section
Click the switch for Enable Google Pay as a payment method.
Notes and Restrictions
- CardConnect: Google Pay will only work with accounts that are using CardConnect for credit card processing. If you are using a different payment processor, Google Pay will not be an option.
- If you are interested in adding Google Pay and do not have a CardConnect merchant account, reach out to your GiveSmart representative.
- Embedded forms: The Google Pay option will not appear on embedded forms. This is a Google Pay security policy which restricts the use of Google Pay within an iFrame embed.
Note: To successfully pay with Google Pay, donors must be signed in to a Google account on their device which has Google Pay configured.
