What do I do after integrating Google Pay API?

Question

I have successfully intergrated the Google Pay API into my android app, and i am confused where to go from here. I understand i need to fill out this form "https://services.google.com/fb/forms/googlepayAPIenable/" but I am having some difficulties I don't understand what is payment processor or how to go about implementing this? Could someone assist me? I have already researched it and read the developers documentation but i still do not understand. For my app I would simply like to allow user's to donate to charities.

Here is the integration checklist that shows complete list of steps if you haven't already done so.

After that, it is a matter of completing the form that you referenced in your question.

Google Pay doesn't process the payment. It provides a way for users to securely share payment credentials with the developer and/or a payment processor.

There are two types of integration that is available with Google Pay:

1. Payment Gateway
2. Direct Integration

The general advice is to us a supported payment processor as the gateway because they manage their own PCI DCSS compliance obligations. I suggest first selecting a payment processor if you haven't already got one and take it from there.

For DIRECT integration, refer to one of my previous answers for more information.
