Step 1

Before you set up, please complete SHOPLINE Payments Basic account verifications. Once your Basic account verification has passed, you can set up Google Pay as one of your payment options.

with Google Pay, but cannot withdraw funds from the account. 
You can do so once you complete the Advanced account verification. 
Please refer to Introduction | SHOPLINE Payments for more details.
