# Google Pay™ overview

> Learn about using Google Pay with Payabli

Google Pay is a digital wallet and mobile payment service that enables fast checkout on your website, and gives you convenient access to hundreds of millions of cards saved to Google Accounts worldwide.

## How Google Pay transactions work

#### Payor initiates transaction

The user taps the Google Pay button on the payment page or ExpressCheckout component.

#### Payor views payment sheet

The Google Pay payment sheet loads for the user, and shows the available payment methods and additional details, like a shipping address, that come from user details and merchant requirements.

#### Payor selects payment method

The user selects a payment method and confirms other details in the Google Pay payment sheet.

#### Google encrypts payment data

Google encrypts the payload with Payabli's Public key which has been registered with Google.

#### Payabli processes payment request

The payment page or ExpressCheckout component sends the encrypted payload to Payabli's API.

#### Payabli processes transaction

Payabli decrypts the encrypted payload with the appropriate private key, and then performs the transaction like any other transaction.

#### Transaction completion

API sends the transaction result back to the payment page or ExpressCheckout component.

#### Diagram: Google Pay Transaction Flow

This diagram shows how Google Pay transactions are processed through the payment network:

* User taps the Google Pay button on the payment page or ExpressCheckout component
* Google returns encrypted payment payload to the payment page/component
* Payment page/component sends encrypted Google Pay payload to merchant platform
* Merchant platform maps data to Payabli's PSP API/SDK
* Payabli (PSP) decrypts the encrypted payload with its private key and sends transaction for authorization to the acquirer
* Acquirer tokenizes and authorizes the payment through the payment network
* Authorization response travels back through the same path to complete the transaction
