Request Arguments

Field	Type	Description
`identity`	string, required	ID of the `Identity` that the card should be associated with.
`merchant_identity`	string, required	The `merchant_identity_id` used when registering the business with Google Pay through our registration API.
`name`	string, required	Full name of the registered card holder.
`third_party_token`	string, required	Stringified token provided by Google. Required to process Google Pay transactions.
`type`	string, required	Type of Payment Instrument. Use GOOGLE_PAY for transactions using Google Pay.

For security purposes, Google Pay tokens are only active for a short period of time.

Due to this limited lifetime, the third_party_token used in the request above has expired. To test the request, use your third_party_token and Finix credentials.

Once complete, similar to other Finix transactions, you can create a transfer or an authorization.
