Google Pay express checkout option doesn't appear using Checkout Sheet Kit for Android

Retired Boards Appdev Tools

Topic summary

Problem: In a Shopify mobile app, the Android implementation of Checkout Sheet Kit does not show the Google Pay express checkout button, while the iOS (Swift) implementation correctly shows the Apple Pay express checkout option.

Context: The developer integrated Checkout Sheet Kit for both platforms and reports that both generally work, with the exception of Google Pay visibility on Android. A GitHub repo link for the Android kit was provided for reference.

Clarification sought: Whether the missing Google Pay express checkout is due to a configuration or implementation issue on the developer’s side, or if it is a current limitation/unsupported feature in the Android Checkout Sheet Kit.

Notes: “Express checkout” refers to surfacing quick payment options (e.g., Apple Pay/Google Pay) at the start of checkout.

Status: No answers or resolution yet; awaiting guidance or confirmation on Android support.

Hi there!

I’m building a mobile app for my shopify store. In order to provide the best checkout experience I’ve integrated Checkout Sheet Kit for Swift and for Android.

Both version looks work fine but the Android one is not showing google pay express checkout option while iOS version is correctly showing Apple pay checkout express option

I wanna know if there is an issue from my side and google pay should work or it’s a limitation that Checkout Sheet Kit for Android (https://github.com/Shopify/checkout-sheet-kit-android) has right now.

Thank you in advance.

Matteo.
