Setting up Google Pay to send users money

I want to set up my Android app to accept money from users Google Pay accounts and disperse money to Google Pay accounts all from the app. I have seen people mention that Google Pay returns a token, and I need to use a payment processor, however I am not sending the money to their bank accounts. I want the entire transaction to go from their Google Pay account, to my Google Pay account, back to their Google Pay account. Is that possible or does Google Pay simply return an instance of their banking information even when they're using Google Pay as well?

Unfortunately, the Google Pay API does not offer this functionality. It's used by merchants to accept payments from their customers and it thus requires a payment processor.

Google Pay Send is a feature inside of Google Pay which is used for peer-to-peer payments and it doesn't offer an API.

In short, you can't leverage Google Pay for third party money transfers directly - you would need to use a payment processor or gateway to facilitate the transfers.
