What is Google Pay?

Google Pay is a digital wallet and payment system that lets you add bank accounts, credit and debit cards, and other payment benefits. You can also store your loyalty, membership, rewards, and gift cards. You can use your stored cards to send and receive money. This means you will be able to pay for items online and in-person. 

Can I add reward points to Google Pay?

Yes, you can store copies of cards that provide rewards points. The specific points that you earn on your cards are accessible through those card’s respective logins.

Is Google Pay available on any device?

Google Pay can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and on the App store. However, on iPhones NCF is not available. NFC allows the user to wirelessly tap their phone with the checkout machine to complete the transaction. With this in mind, you should seek to use Google Pay if you have a phone that supports NFC to take full benefit of using a digital wallet. 

Is Google Pay free to use and download?

Google Pay is completely free to download and use, making convenience an even better deal.

How do I add loyalty cards to Google Pay?

You can easily add cards to your Google Pay by downloading the Google Pay app via the App Store or through Google Play Store. Thereafter:

  1. Open the Google Pay app.
  2. At the bottom, tap Passes or Payment Method. For loyalty cards, tap Loyalty program. For gift cards, tap Gift card.
  3. Find the merchant or program name and tap it.
  4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
  5. Your loyalty card will show up in the Google Pay app.

Should I add cards to Google Pay?

Google Pay is best if you always have your phone on you when making purchases. Or simply if you enjoy the convenience of having a digital wallet instead of carrying multiple cards and accounts. Further, with Google Pay, you can easily send money to friends, set reminders for recurring payments, and access rewards right from your phone. You can pay with your credit and debit cards even if you have an iPhone by adding in your information manually, which may not be worth the hassle for some. If you fancy the thought of adding more flexibility, features, and convenience to your life, Google Pay may be right for you. 

Is Google Pay safe to use?

Google Pay is encrypted and secured by Google. This means that your transactions and payment information are guarded by several layers of security. Google’s security is top of the class and so you don’t have to worry about any data breaches and unauthorized transactions.
