Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in a new React Native project with the provided GooglePayButton example, then trace the GooglePayButton rendering entry point and its Android implementation. The fix is done when the displayed button text changes according to the supplied type, including Subscribe, on both the simulator and a real Android device.

}}
onPress={() => {}}
allowedPaymentMethods={googlePayRequest.allowedPaymentMethods}
theme={GooglePayButtonConstants.Themes.Dark}
