When you manage your passes integration, it's often convenient to use multiple issuer accounts. Before you start, get your first issuer account approved and complete the basic steps for Get access to the REST API. Then, you can programmatically create additional accounts and adjust the emails shared with them.
You can also create an issuer account and edit account permissions manually at the Google Pay Merchant Center.
Create a new issuer account
To create a new issuer account, use an authorized service account key to make an
insert
REST call to the following endpoint:
POST https://walletobjects.googleapis.com/walletobjects/v1/issuer/
Include the following in the body of the REST call:
{ "name": issuer-account-name "contactInfo": { "email": email-address } }
The response includes the body you sent and an extra field, issuerId
. This is the
newly created account’s Issuer ID. For more information on how to use the issuer endpoint, see the
API reference.
Change an existing account’s permissions
Once an account is created, only the service account key that created it has access. If you want
additional service account keys to access the account, or to manage the account from a personal
email with the merchant account UI, you need to use the permissions endpoint to add additional
emails. Do this with an UPDATE
REST call. Here's an example of how this is done:
PUT https://walletobjects.googleapis.com/walletobjects/v1/permissions/<issuerId>
{
"permissions": [
{
"emailAddress": permission-email-address
"role": <the role of the account, either "writer", "owner", or "reader">
},
]
}
See the Permissions API reference list for more details.
