it appears for me at least
silk merlin
oh that's weird, we have been scratching our heads for this
wicked kelp
so it's something in your browser. Are you actually using Google Pay specifically? that means, you need to be using Chrome, logged into a Google account, and with a live card on https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/paymentmethods
the generic payment request button can work with just cards saved as autofill details in Chrome, but in Checkout it is specifically a GPay button
wicked kelp
yes
silk merlin
when I use a live card in stripe test mode
will it be charged?
or how that works for testing
I mean to use with google pay
wicked kelp
it won't be charged no, if you're using test mode
silk merlin
Okies, Let me try with the live card. since google pay was working on the https://stripe-payments-demo.appspot.com/ we thought that problem would be something else
and get back to you shortly
Hello again
added a live card, however still am not getting google pay button
wicked kelp
are you logged into Chrome itself?
silk merlin
yes
wicked kelp
Not sure, try restarting then? There's also a setting on chrome://settings/payments (Allow sites to check if you have payment methods saved ) so make sure that is turned on. Ultimately the button work for me and it will work for other customers so it's just something local to your own set up.
silk merlin
will try restarting
silk merlin
whatever I do, its still same
am trying this from India, dunno if this could be a cause
wicked kelp
oh yes, it is
we don't support Google Pay in India
because in India people expect Google Pay to be Google's local version that uses the UPI banking network, which we don't support, we only support this card-only version of it , so we disable it to avoid confusion
silk merlin
ah, am not building for india. so how can test in this case. whatever I do stripe preselects the country as India
Even if I use VPN, still stripe preselects India as the country and I think that could be the problem as you mentioned
wicked kelp
not much you can do unfortunately, if we detect you're in India we won't try to show the button. I'm surprised a VPN doesn't work, maybe your VPN is not active or something.

How does stripe knows the am from India, so that I can try to override it
is it using my ip or something else
wicked kelp
as far as I know it's the IP yes
