FOR LEGACY USERS
Before you start you will need the following,
Google Pay service account details (We will provide these for you)
Images for the Google Pay template, You can find an image template here
Upload the images to your CherryPie account
Access to Postman
Your API Key and Secret
STEP 1 - Check your campaign is enabled for Google Pay.
We need to use the Retrieve Campaign API call
GET https://api-pass.passkit.net/v3/campaigns/{campaignName}You will need to look for the following fields,
googleServiceAccount
googleIssuerId
If they are not present you need to add them to the campaign using the following,
PUT https://api-pass.passkit.net/v3/campaigns/{campaignName}{
"googleServiceAccount": "***@***.iam.gserviceaccount.com",
"googleIssuerId": "3453************"
}When done you can now set up the template.
STEP 2 - Setting up the template.
Firstly retrieve the template using the Retrieve Template API call.
GET https://api-pass.passkit.net/v3/templates/{templateName}Then change the call to PUT and copy the template record into the top window in Postman.
We can then add the Google Pay section to the template. The section should look like this.
"androidPay": {
"issuerName": "Abba Java ",
"allowMultipleUsersPerObject": false,
"hexBackgroundColor": "#FFFFFF",
"heroImage": {
"sourceUri": {
"uri": "https://passkit-portal-production.s3.amazonaws.com/images/d75621ef92dea9d693bc680f893b03a9586781b9.png"
}
},

},

},
{

},
{

"body": "01/01/2020"
}
]
}
],
"linkModulesData": {
"uris": [
{
"uri": "www.passkit.com",
"description": "Website"
},
{
"uri": "tel:+85258049280",

}
]
},
"type": "offer",
"offerClass": {
"title": "Discount Offer",
"redemptionChannel": "both",
"provider": "Abba Java",
"titleImage": {
"sourceUri": {
"uri": "https://passkit-portal-production.s3.amazonaws.com/images/2333e625b429ed78397a64adaafa411eb8dc0dc6.png"
}
}
}
}, NOTE - the section is referred to as "androidPay", this is due to a name change from Android Pay to Google Pay, "androidPay" remains the standard name when using our API.
Find this section in the Template Json, and insert the Google Pay section.
"barcode": {

"issued": 25,

}Then use the PUT command to save the Google Pay section to the template record.
PUT https://api-pass.passkit.net/v3/templates/{templateName}After, use the push parameter at the end of the above URL, this is important as the PUSH command ensures that we do the API call to Google to actually create the Google Pay Class
PUT https://api-pass.passkit.net/v3/templates/{templateName}/pushWhen complete, the full template JSON will look like this

Common Reasons For Errors
Images do not conform to the correct size specification
The 'push' command was not carried out after the template update
The Campaign was not enabled first
If using dynamic values, you must issue a pass with these values in place, else the Google Pay template will not load.
** CherryPie is longer maintained; other critical security updates.
