Testing Google Pay Integration

Testing Google Pay Integration​

After completing the integration, it is crucial to thoroughly test the Google Pay functionality in a sandbox environment to ensure everything works as expected.

Testing in Sandbox​

  • Use Your Live Google Account: You can use your actual Google account to test Google Pay in the sandbox environment. This allows you to simulate real-world transactions while ensuring that no actual funds are transferred. All transactions in the sandbox are simulated, meaning they do not impact your actual financial data.

  • Simulate Various Scenarios: Test different scenarios, including successful payments, payment failures, and cancellations, to ensure your integration handles each case correctly. This includes testing with various card networks, different device types, and across multiple browsers.

Troubleshooting Payment Failures​

  • Check Sandbox Configuration: If a payment fails during testing, ensure your integration is configured to use Google Pay’s sandbox environment. Verify that you are using the correct sandbox credentials.

  • Review Error Messages: Carefully review any error messages returned during transactions. These messages often provide details about what might be causing the issue, whether it’s a configuration error, an unsupported card type, or another issue.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting​

  • Button Not Displaying: Ensure the Google Pay script is correctly loaded and that the user is on a compatible device and browser.

  • Payment Errors: Review logs for specific error codes and messages. Make sure all required fields are provided and correctly configured in your payment data.

By following these steps and thoroughly testing in the sandbox environment, using your Google account, you can ensure a robust and reliable Google Pay integration before moving to production.
