# Get started with Google Pay

To add support for Google Pay device tokens, you will need to complete the
following steps in order:

![](https://developers.google.com/pay/issuers/tsp-integration/images/console_login.png)

### 1. Access the [Issuer Console onboarding platform](https://pay.google.com/business/console?business_type=financial_institution)

- Navigate to the [Issuer
  Console](https://pay.google.com/business/console?business_type=financial_institution) and sign in with your corporate email address. If your corporate email is not associated with a Google Account, you will need to [complete the
  association
  process](https://accounts.google.com/signup/v2/webcreateaccount?flowName=GlifWebSignIn&flowEntry=SignUp&nogm=true) prior to creating your financial institution account.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Key Point:** A Google Account grants a user access to various Google products using a single username and password. Any email address can be associated with a Google Account. For further assistance with Google Accounts, visit the [help
> center article](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/27441).

- Input your public business name, business location, and ensure 'Financial
  Institution' is selected as the business type.

- Agree to the Console Terms of Service, and click 'Continue'.

### 2. Establish a Business Profile

- After completing Step 1, proceed to the Business Profile tab within Issuer Console and click 'Get Started'.

![Dashboard within Issuer Console](https://developers.google.com/static/pay/issuers/tsp-integration/images/console_dashboard.png)

- Begin by creating a payments profile for your financial institution by
  providing the name and address of the business in the Business Identity
  section.

- Complete the business profile by filling in the remainder of the Business
  Information section with the required details. For Merchant Category Code,
  financial institutions should utilize 'Others (0000)'.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Important:** The business profile will be approved within a few minutes unless there is a discrepancy with the information provided. If the business profile does not reflect 'approved' after one US business day, contact support through the Issuer Console directly.

### 3. Retrieve your Merchant ID

Your Merchant ID is displayed in the top right corner of the Business Profile
page. You need this ID for various integrations and support requests. ![Issuer
Console with Merchant
ID](https://developers.google.com/static/pay/issuers/tsp-integration/images/issuer_console_merchant_id.png)

### 4. Provide Issuer Details

- Upon creating a business profile, navigate to the Push Provisioning API menu, accept the Google API Terms of Service, and provide the issuer details by clicking 'Add Information'.

![Issuer details screen within Console](https://developers.google.com/static/pay/issuers/tsp-integration/images/issuer_details_console.png)

- Begin by adding the information of the authorized signatory for your
  financial institution. The email address provided in this section will first
  receive the NDA, and once the NDA is signed, the signatory will then be sent
  the Google Pay Click To Accept Agreement (CTA). Both the NDA and CTA
  will be sent from the email address
  [dse_na2@docusign.net](mailto:dse_na2@docusign.net).

- Fill in the remaining information and click the 'Save changes' button. Once
  complete, the information will be reviewed and Google will proceed with
  either sending the NDA directly, or reaching out to confirm specific
  details. The issuer details section will remain in the status of "In Review"
  until **both the NDA and CTA have been signed.**

- The signatory will receive a link to both the NDA and CTA from the email
  alias [dse_na2@docusign.net](mailto:dse_na2@docusign.net) within 2 US
  business days of submission if all required information is provided
  initially. If the signatory is having trouble finding the email, have them
  search for an email from that address and check their spam filter.

- **Issuers with existing NDA and CTA agreements** are not required to sign
  new ones. However, both the Business Profile and Issuer Details sections in
  the Issuer Console must still be completed. Upon completion, the NDA and CTA
  status in the Console will be pre-populated and updated using the existing
  agreements.

> [!WARNING]
> **Warning:** Google strictly prohibits issuers from performing **any tokenizations** in the production environment prior to accepting the agreement. The CTA agreement is a standard agreement and is **not customizable**. Once you have accepted the agreement, you will be able to download a PDF version for your records.

### 5. Access Push Provisioning API documentation

Once the NDA is signed, you will have the ability to view all of the [Push
Provisioning API](https://developers.google.com/pay/issuers/apis/push-provisioning/android) documentation.
Request documentation access for others by adding their
**corporate emails** (no personal emails permitted) that have been associated
with a Google Account in the box on the bottom right of the Push Provisioning
status page. Clicking the 'Give Access' button will automatically provision
access to the developer documentation.

![Steps to allowlist an email for Push Provisioning API documentation](https://developers.google.com/static/pay/issuers/tsp-integration/images/devsite_allowlist.png)

### 6. Google Pay technical implementation

After both the NDA and CTA have been signed, you are ready to begin integration
work with your Token Service Provided (TSP)! Your TSP should be able to guide
you through the process of configuring their systems and integrating with their
APIs related to device tokenization. The [integration with TSP
section](https://developers.google.com/pay/issuers/tsp-integration/overview) of this site explains
Google Pay product behavior, including Google Pay specific
requirements for how you configure the settings at your TSP. Once your TSP
integration is complete, you can return to the [Issuer
Console](https://pay.google.com/business/console?business_type=financial_institution)
to integrate with the [Push Provisioning
API](https://developers.google.com/pay/issuers/apis/push-provisioning/android). If you have any issues along
the way, our [support page](https://developers.google.com/pay/issuers/support/overview) explains where to get
help.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> **Key Point:** Integration with the Push Provisioning API is required within 6 months of a Google Pay launch as per the CTA agreement. If you are unable to meet this timeline, [contact the support
> team](https://developers.google.com/pay/issuers/support/get-help) for assistance.

### BIN Sponsors or Program Managers

If you are a BIN Sponsor or program manager who has already signed the CTA but
would like to launch a new program or sub-entity, you can notify Google by
selecting the option 'BIN Sponsor or Program Manager notification' option within
[the general inquiry form](https://support.google.com/faqs/contact/gp_inquiry).
As part of the notification, Google expects that standard [testing
requirements](https://developers.google.com/pay/issuers/tsp-integration/testing#testing_reqs) have been met
for manual tokenization, or the [program manager launch
process](https://developers.google.com/pay/issuers/apis/push-provisioning/android/launch-process#launch_process)
has been followed for a push provisioning launch.
