New enhancements for merchant initiated transactions with the Google Pay API

Google Pay API introduces new enhancements for merchant initiated transactions, supporting recurring subscriptions, deferred payments, and automatic reloads with improved flexibility and control. Three new PaymentDataRequest objects enable detailed configuration: recurringTransactionInfo allows subscription setup with customizable billing frequencies and amounts, deferredTransactionInfo handles future one-time charges with specific dates, and automaticReloadTransactionInfo manages balance-triggered account top-ups. Enhanced transparency shows users future payment schedules within Google Pay interface. Token management via tokenUpdateUrl webhooks receives payment credential updates like card expiry notifications, reducing transaction declines. API supports introductory periods, variable amounts, management URLs, and ensures compliance with network mandates.
