  The 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that listed free/professional/enterprise tiers with invented
  prices and quotas. Google publishes no such tiers; that file was written by an API Evangelist
  sweep, not harvested, and is replaced here by what Google actually says.

    description: >-
      Google states: "Google Pay doesn't additionally charge users, merchants, and developers
      additional fees to use the Google Pay API for payments." Merchants continue to pay
      processing fees to their own payment processor — those fees are the PSP's pricing, not
      Google's.
    access: >-
      Free to integrate, but production access is gated on human review: a Google Pay Business
      Profile, accepted Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, a registered top-level domain,
      and screenshots approved by the Google Pay team.

notes: >-
  There is no pricing page, no metered tier, no self-serve paid plan and no published enterprise
  quote path for the Google Pay API. The commercial relationship is with the payment
  processor/gateway, not with Google. The Google Wallet API is likewise published with no fee
  schedule. Recorded as a single zero-cost plan rather than plan_count 0, because Google makes an
  explicit affirmative statement about cost rather than staying silent.
