What's the Q?

[wintry slate]

Hi sir

We are an agency and we would like to integrate google pay for one of our client's app

so my question is do they need google pay account or can we use our own google pay business account

[crystal zinc]

That's probably a question better suited for Google! My assumption is that they will need their own Google Pay merchant

[wintry slate]

ok

what happens if we give our merchant id and merchant name in the app?

[crystal zinc]

Not sure I'm afraid! This isn't really pertinent to Stripe

[wintry slate]

also, is it mandatory to have a google pay business account to setup google pay with stripe

[crystal zinc]

It's a Google stipulation to have a merchant ID so you should check with them

[crystal zinc]

Yes to go live, but that's not a Stripe requirement. It's a Google requirement: https://stripe.com/docs/google-pay?platform=android#going-live

[wintry slate]

in that documentation, u never mentioned about a google pay account

[crystal zinc]

What kind of Stripe integration are you building? Web, or mobile?

[wintry slate]

mobile

[crystal zinc]

Yep, then you'll get the merchant ID after the review

[wintry slate]

i didn't understand

for review where we will submit it ?

[crystal zinc]

Ok, maybe the ID isn't required anymore: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android/issues/3236#issuecomment-881117461

You still need a Google review before going live though

[wintry slate]

ok, how to submit for review ?

[wintry slate]

even one of your moderator said it need google pay business account also

Hi! I'm taking over this thread.

I think you need to go through this: https://developers.google.com/pay/api/android/guides/test-and-deploy/request-prod-access

[wintry slate]

merchantName = "Widget Store",

also what should we provide here

[fringe ivy]

I'm not sure I understand your question.

[wintry slate]

@fringe ivy what about this?

[fringe ivy]

This docs lists the steps yo go live with Google Pay: https://stripe.com/docs/google-pay?platform=android#going-live
To complete step 2, you need to go through this: https://developers.google.com/pay/api/android/guides/test-and-deploy/request-prod-access

[fringe ivy]

So what is your question? I'm not familiar with Google's process for this.

[wintry slate]

some of your moderators saying, we need account in google pay and some saying we don't need
