Google Pay API: New Enhancements for Merchant Initiated Transactions (MIT)
AI Impact Summary
Google Pay API enhancements introduce new objects – recurringTransactionInfo, deferredTransactionInfo, and automaticReloadTransactionInfo – to manage merchant-initiated transactions. This allows developers to handle subscriptions, deferred payments (like hotel bookings), and automatic account reloads with greater precision, improving transparency and reducing transaction declines. The addition of webhook URLs for token updates further strengthens security and reliability for recurring payments.
