Add to Google Wallet button

The Add to Google Wallet button is used whenever you are directing users to save a pass or card from your app or website to their wallet. The Add to Google Wallet button must call one of the Google Wallet API flows. These flows surface the Google Wallet app where users can follow the instructions to save passes to their Android device and their Google Account. This button can be used in apps, websites or emails.

Best practices for button placement

Display the Add to Google Wallet button on confirmation app screens, web pages, or emails. Refer to the following best practices to guide your UI design.

Generic passes

Display the Add to Google Wallet button on confirmation app screens, web pages, or emails. We recommend that you place the Add to Google Wallet button where users access their passes in your app or website.

Use of the Google Wallet product name in text

You can use text to indicate to the user that their Generic pass is saved to their device.

Capitalize the letters "G" and "W"

Always use an uppercase "G" and an uppercase "W" followed by lowercase letters to refer to Google Wallet. Don't capitalize the full name "Google Wallet" unless it's to match the typographic style in your UI.

Don't abbreviate Google Wallet

Always write out the words "Google" and "Wallet."

Match the style in your UI

Set "Google Wallet" in the same font and typographic style as the rest of the text in your UI. Don't mimic Google's typographic style.

Always use the localized version of "Google Wallet"

Always write "Google Wallet" in the provided localized copy.

Design

Use the height and size fields of the g:savetoandroidpay HTML tag to modify the height and width of the Add to Google Wallet buttons. Use the textsize=large specification to dramatically increase text and button sizes for mobile implementations or cases with special UI requirements.

Guideline Example setting Example image
Use the http: prefix when you assign a URI to a website or a location in Google maps. This prefix lets a consumer touch on the link and navigate to the website or view the location in Google Maps. This prefix also causes an icon of a link or map in front of the description in your card. 'uri': 'http://maps.google.com/?q=google' A pin indicator for a map location.
'uri': 'http://developer.google.com/wallet/' A globe indicator for a website.

Use the mailto: prefix when you define an email address. This prefix lets a consumer touch on the link to send an email to the address. This prefix also creates an icon of an email in front of the text description on the card. 'uri': 'mailto:jonsmith@email.com' A mail indicator for a link to send an email.

Headings, labels, and names

Write headings, labels, and names in title case, so that each word starts with a capital letter.

Content policies

The contents of each field in a Pass must adhere to the Payments content policies. The contents of the websites that you reference in the class must also adhere to these policies.

Partner platform data placement

To make sure users can get to your feature-rich app or website about the Pass, make sure to incorporate your app deep link or website in the Pass's class or object linksModuleData.* property. This lets a user navigate to your platform from the Pass, which appears in Google Wallet. To see how it's rendered, go to the design sections of the Pass verticals.
