Brand guidelines

These guidelines will help you implement Google Pay.

Google Pay payment buttons

The Google Pay payment button should always call the Google Pay API. The Google Pay API surfaces the payment sheet where users can select their payment method.

Assets

Google Pay payment buttons are available as resizable bitmaps (Nine-Patch files) that are suitable to include in your layout. All Google Pay payment buttons displayed on your site must adhere to our brand guidelines, including, but not limited to, sizing relative to other similar buttons or elements of the page, contrast with the background color of the surrounding area, clear space, and more.

Style

Google Pay payment buttons are available in three variations: black, white, and white with an outline. Each variation comes with and without the "Buy with" text. Payment buttons with localized versions of the "Buy with" text are provided; the Google Pay brand is always untranslated. Don't create buttons in other languages.

Use white buttons with an outline as an alternative to black buttons on white or light backgrounds.

Clear space

Always maintain the minimum clear space of 8 dp on all sides of the payment button. Ensure the clear space is never broken with graphics or text.

Google Pay logo and mark

Using Google Pay in text

You may use text to indicate Google Pay as a payment option and to promote Google Pay in your marketing communication.

Capitalize the letters "G" and "P"

Always use an uppercase "G" and an uppercase "P" followed by lowercase letters. Don't capitalize the full name "GOOGLE PAY" unless matching the typographic style in your UI. Never use an uppercase "GOOGLE PAY" in your marketing communication.

Don't abbreviate Google Pay

Always write out the words "Google" and "Pay."

Match the style in your UI

"Google Pay" should be set in the same font and typographic style as the rest of the text in your UI. Don't try to mimic Google's typographic style.

Don't translate Google Pay

"Google Pay" should always be written in English. Don't translate it to another language.

Use the trademark symbol the first time "Google Pay" appears in marketing communication

When using "Google Pay" in your marketing communication, you'll need to show the trademark symbol, ™, the first or most prominent time it appears. Don't use the trademark symbol when indicating Google Pay as a payment option in your UI.

"Google Pay" should be set in the same font and typographic style as the rest of the text in your UI.

If you aren't displaying logos for other payment options, "Google Pay" should be represented by text.

When displaying payment information on confirmation pages and email receipts, make sure you indicate the customer has paid with Google Pay.

Google Pay best practices

Maximize your conversions with checkout flows and payment sheets that let customers quickly and easily review their payment information and confirm their purchase.

The following are best practices:

Make Google Pay the primary payment option

People like using Google Pay for faster checkout. Where possible, display the Google Pay button prominently, and consider making it the default or only payment option.

Let your customers make purchases without an account

Account creation slows down the checkout process and can lead to abandoned carts. Use Google Pay to enable faster guest checkout. If you'd like your customers to create an account, allow them to do so after they complete their purchase.

Use Google Pay to initiate payment during cart checkout

The Google Pay button brings up the payment sheet. On the payment sheet, customers can only select and confirm a single payment method. Be sure to get all of the other information you need – such as an item's size, color, or quantity, the option to add a gift message or apply a promo code, or the ability to choose different shipping speeds and destinations for individual items – before you give customers the option to select the Google Pay button. If a customer doesn't provide any necessary information, offer real-time feedback to let them know what's missing before bringing up the payment sheet.

Add the Google Pay button to product detail pages in addition to cart checkout

Speed up single-item checkout by letting customers make individual purchases right from your product detail pages. If a customer chooses this option, be sure to exclude any other items they have in their shopping cart, since the payment sheet only lets them confirm their payment and shipping information.

Include Google Pay on confirmation pages and receipts

When displaying payment information on confirmation pages and email receipts, make sure you indicate the customer has paid with Google Pay and include the Google Pay logo or mark. Never display full account numbers, expiration dates or other payment method details to the user. Always use the descriptive text returned by the Google Pay API to identify the payment method.

The following are a few examples:

  • "Network •••• 1234 with Google Pay"; "Network •••• 1234 (Google Pay)";
  • "Google Pay (Network •••• 1234)"; "Paypal abc...d@gmail.com with Google Pay";
  • "Payment method: Google Pay" or "Paid with Google Pay."

These screens represent a recommended Google Pay flow for a shopping cart experience.

Getting approval

Once you've integrated the Google Pay API, you'll need to get approval for all of the places where you display or reference Google Pay within your UI in order to gain production access.
