Installing Android Pay Passes

Instalation

Distribution

Remember: The download pages for Distribution and Pass are the same. The onlu difference is that at the Distribution page, when a user clicks for download the Apple Wallet pass, it creates a new pass and then push it to the user.

As the instalation of the pass to the user’s Android Pay app is managed by Google, the pass should be created before displaying the Save To Pay button. At this point the pass is not created yet, so is first shows a “I have Andodroid Pay”

Right after the user clicks at the button, the pass then will be created and the button should change to “Save to Pay”

Passes

The user will either click at the “I have Android Pay” button or follow a direct link and then click at the “Save to Pay” button fot actually installing the pass to its Android Pay app.

Google Accounts

As mentioned on the Introduction, in order to install the pass you must have a Google Account.

If you’re not logged into any Google Account, the popover will give all the instructions to login and then install the pass.

After the pass get really installed, the button will tell you so and suggest you either get the app or directly show it if you are using a device with Android Pay app installed.
