Hi there 👋 it's hard to say for sure without more context about how you're building your integration. If you're referring to using one of our elements, those automatically detect the browser being used and show the supported wallets.
Are you seeing something in your testing that is giving you the impression that isn't happening?
lethal jackal
I need to check again, thanks
shadow iris
Oh, sorry, I just noticed you said you're working with the Express Checkout Element. That one does automatically detect if a supported wallet is set up for use, and only shows the corresponding wallet if so.
The reason you would use always there is if you want to force a wallet option to be displayed even if your customer doesn't already have a card added to it.
lethal jackal
but you see on Windows I have link, I would like to have Google Pay, why I dont have?
shadow iris
Are you using Chrome? Do you already have a card added to the Google Wallet of the Google account that you're signed into?
The OS is less important than the browser.
lethal jackal
Chrome, I am not signed in on google now, I have to be to show Google pay?
shadow iris
If you're relying on our automatic detection, yes. By default we don't show Google Pay or Apple Pay if they aren't already set up for use. Meaning the browser/device is associated with a corresponding account that is logged into, and that the account already has a card added to the corresponding wallet.

lethal jackal
but when I go here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/payment_methods can i set google pay to display always?
shadow iris
No, not from that dashboard page.
lethal jackal
but how to make it always be seen - in code? by paymentMethods.googlePay = always?
shadow iris
Yup
If you want to always show Google Pay when the customer is using a supported platform, you can set its property in paymentMethods to always.
https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/create_express_checkout_element#express_checkout_element_create-options-paymentMethods-googlePay
But again, it's more about the browser being used than the OS. For instance a customer using Firefox on Windows can't use Google Pay.
lethal jackal
so even if I do this to always in code, someone on Firefox still won't see Google Pay?
shadow iris
I don't believe so, nor should they.
lethal jackal
I dont understand
If I would be on Firefox and set in code as Always for google pay
I would see the button or not?
shadow iris
I don't believe so
But would need time to test to say that with certainty, which you may be able to do faster than me if you have your test site running
lethal jackal
Okay, thx
