How to Create a Google Pay Payment Link
Accept one-tap payments from Android users with Google Pay. This guide shows you how to create payment links that support Google Pay using Stripe, Mollie, or PayRequest.
What is Google Pay?
Google Pay (formerly Android Pay) is a digital wallet that lets customers pay online using cards saved to their Google account. When a customer clicks your payment link on an Android device or Chrome browser, they can complete the payment with just one tap — no need to enter card details manually.
One-Tap Payments
Customers pay instantly with saved cards — no manual card entry needed.
Secure Tokenization
Card details are replaced with a secure token. Your actual card number is never shared.
Works Everywhere
Android phones, Chrome browser, and any device with Google Pay enabled.
Global Reach
Available in 40+ countries with support for major card networks.
Important: You Can't Create "Google Pay Only" Links
Google Pay is a payment method, not a payment platform. You need a payment processor like Stripe or Mollie to accept Google Pay. When you create a payment link through these providers, Google Pay is offered automatically to eligible customers alongside other payment methods like cards and Apple Pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I create a direct Google Pay link without Stripe/Mollie?
No. Google Pay is a payment method, not a payment platform. You need a payment processor to accept the payment and transfer funds to your bank account.
Does Google Pay work on iPhone?
Google Pay works in Chrome browser on any device, but the native tap-to-pay experience is Android-only. iPhone users typically see Apple Pay instead.
What are the fees for Google Pay?
Google doesn't charge extra fees. You pay your payment processor's normal card rate (e.g., Stripe's 1.4% + €0.25 for EU cards).
Is Google Pay secure?
Yes. Google Pay uses tokenization — your actual card number is never shared with merchants. Each transaction uses a unique encrypted code.
