If you expect to see Google Pay as a payment method option but don’t, try the following steps:
-
Make sure you’re logged into Google Pay.
-
Visit the Stripe documentation on the payment request button and make sure you see the Google Pay button at the top of the page. If you see an error, follow the instructions in the error message.
-
If you use 1Password, try adjusting your 1Password autofill settings to work with Chrome.
