Google revealed their Pay With Google service a while back, and now the search giant is launching the service in the US. Pay With Google lets you easily pay for things on the web and also on Android.
The new payment service is designed to make buying stuff or paying for things much quicker. When you use it, all the details needed for the order, like your name and shipping address, are automatically sent to the merchant.
When you pay with Google, you can use any of the credit or debit cards you’ve added to your Google Account from products like Google Play, YouTube, Chrome, or Android Pay. Google sends the merchant your payment info and shipping address using the information from your account—no typing required. Then, the merchant will handle all the details just like any other purchase.
How Pay With Google Works
The process of using Pay With Google is straightforward and user-friendly. When you are ready to make a purchase, you simply select the Pay With Google option at checkout. This eliminates the need to manually enter your payment information, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Instead, Google retrieves the necessary details from your Google Account, ensuring a seamless transaction.
For instance, if you have previously added your credit or debit card information to Google Play, YouTube, Chrome, or Android Pay, these details are readily available for use. This integration not only speeds up the checkout process but also enhances security by reducing the number of times you need to input sensitive information online.
Benefits and Future Expansion
One of the significant benefits of Pay With Google is its convenience. By automating the entry of payment and shipping information, it reduces the friction often associated with online shopping. This can be particularly beneficial for mobile users, who may find typing on small screens cumbersome.
Moreover, Google has plans to expand this service to more merchants in the future. Currently, a variety of merchants support Pay With Google, and this list is expected to grow. This expansion will make it even easier for users to take advantage of the service across a broader range of online stores.
Another advantage is the potential for enhanced security. By centralizing your payment information within your Google Account, you minimize the number of sites where your card details are stored. This can reduce the risk of your information being compromised in the event of a data breach at a merchant site.
Additionally, Pay With Google can be integrated with other Google services, providing a more cohesive user experience. For example, if you are using Google Assistant to make a purchase, you can seamlessly complete the transaction using Pay With Google without needing to switch between different apps or services.
