Google Pay plugin for Magento 2
Blog post from Google Cloud
Published in 2021, the Google Pay plugin for Magento 2, which was sunset in 2022, initially offered merchants a seamless way to integrate Google Pay into their checkout systems, supporting Magento versions 2.3 and 2.4 and offering compatibility with the Cybersource payment gateway. The plugin provided a frictionless and secure checkout experience by allowing consumers to use stored payment credentials from their Google Accounts, leading to reduced data entry errors and higher conversion rates. Developed in collaboration with Unbound Commerce, the plugin was free to use and supported integration with various payment service providers like Adyen, Braintree, and Stripe. Merchants could easily download, install, and configure the plugin through the Magento Marketplace, requiring only a Google Pay merchant identifier for setup. The integration process included testing in a Sandbox environment before launching the payment method on the merchant's site, offering advanced settings for customization, and requiring submission of website integration details in the Google Pay Business Console.
