The older versions of Hosted Pages do not support the Google Pay payment gateway. Upgrade to the Hosted Pages version 3 to use Google Pay via Stripe.
Google Pay allows you to store payment method information in the cloud and Android device. Cards that are stored in the Google Account (cloud) are only considered for this integration.
You can use all live cards and test cards mentioned in this document to test the setup. That said, Google ensures that no actual transactions take effect from the live card while using Google's test environment.
