What this post added
Introduced new enhancements for merchant-initiated transactions (MIT) in the Google Pay API, enabling recurring, deferred, and automatic reload transactions. Added `recurringTransactionInfo`, `deferredTransactionInfo`, and `automaticReloadTransactionInfo` objects to `PaymentDataRequest` for detailed configuration of future payments. These enhancements aim to improve payment success rates, transparency, and flexibility for developers and users.
