* The user selects Google Pay at the checkout on your app or website and confirms payment
* Your app or website makes the payment request to Google Pay
* Google Pay returns the encrypted payment data token, which includes details about the purchase.
* Your app or website passes the payment data to your platform’s backend
* Your platform includes the payment data in it’s request to Mangopay
* Mangopay changes the status of the pay-in
* Your platform confirms the outcome or redirects the end user for 3DS authentication

The transaction is complete when the pay-in status changed from `CREATED` to `SUCCEEDED` or `FAILED`, indicating the outcome.

You should also set up [hook notifications](/webhooks) for the relevant [event types](/webhooks/event-types):

* PAYIN\_NORMAL\_SUCCEEDED
* PAYIN\_NORMAL\_FAILED
