Google will continue to support a merchant’s existing Android Pay integration, but no new Android Pay integrations will be allowed. We recommend that merchants migrate to the new Google Payment API to keep their integration up to date and, in doing so, the new API will enable access and new functionalities including access to cards used for purchases across Google properties.
