Simpler Google Pay integration for React and web developers
Blog post from Google Cloud
Google Pay has introduced a new integration option for web developers by launching the Google Pay Button for React, designed to simplify the incorporation of Google Pay into React-based websites. This component is available as an open-source project on GitHub and can be installed via npm, offering real-time code completion and validation when used with TypeScript. The button can be easily integrated by importing it and configuring necessary values, such as the Merchant ID from the Google Pay Business Console. Additionally, a similar Google Pay Button is available for Angular developers, adhering to Angular conventions, and a Custom Element version is provided for other frameworks or projects without frameworks. These components offer a convenience layer over the existing Google Pay JavaScript library, which remains unchanged and available for direct use. The initiative aims to enhance the developer experience and invites feedback through GitHub or social media channels.
