Google pay is very convenient but do not be fooled, it certainly is not an alternative to PayPal. It is simply a payment gateway and …

We use Google Pay within our organization at our point of sale systems. We use the software for 2 POS systems in a retail environment. Having the Google Pay payment option provides a faster and more secure handsfree payment alternative for our customers to use rather than a traditional credit or debit card transaction.
  • Availability
  • Time of transaction
  • Secure
  • User interface
  • Simplicity
  • Remove shopping feature
Google Pay is well suited for a physical retail environment, online shopping websites, and locations with security issues such as gas pumps and convenience stores where card skimmers are most common. Google Pay is less appropriate as a online shopping tool which seems to be the way Google is developing the app. Keep the features simple instead of trying to integrate a whole suite of products such Google shopping.

Google Pays Off

Google Pay shines in how simple it is to use to complete purchases. Because it saves a customer's information for ready access when they're checking out, customers should be more likely to stick around to complete their purchases. Using Google Pay with our publications store allows customers to check out more smoothly and, I believe, to have fewer abandoned carts.
  • Saves purchasing information at the tip of your customer's fingers.
  • Makes check out on a variety of web stores more streamlined.
  • Remembers information across multiple devices.
  • Updating credit card information is not as seamless.
  • Lacks a clear way to encourage new customers to use Google Pay (at least, with our current setup).
  • Sometimes requires multiple security checks to fill out the full payment information on a website.
I have only scratched the surface of Google Pay's capabilities because we do not have a physical store. I believe the benefits would increase for locations where smartphone payment is already underway in physical stores that also do online sales. If your business deals with very little foot traffic or does not offer a variety of payment choices, do more research before adding Google Pay as an option — Google Pay is an eager competitor to Apple Pay, and therefore offers businesses opportunities to run promotions and other incentives to adopt Google Pay currently, so it still may be worthwhile to smaller businesses. Google Pay is about to implement a banking option, which will likely add to the number of users and therefore excited customers with Google Pay to spend with you. The web implementation seems simple and should be a good addition to websites where multiple payment types are available.

Keeping track of contracts and budgets is not easy for anyone, especially for any nonprofit organization. Google Pay (formerly known as Google Wallet) really helps to streamline online payments for your financial operations department. It's easy enough to use the platform that team members can be cross-trained on the system fairly quickly.
  • Makes easy and quick online payments to third-party vendors
  • Keeps a detailed track record of invoices to the customer/client
  • Archives each transaction so you're never looking for lost receipts
  • The mobile app could be more user friendly
  • Google Pay (formerly known as Google Wallet) should alert its users of changes to its platform
  • Better notifications and explanation of terms of service
  • Better cybersecurity for online payments and transactions
If you have a list of vendors or businesses that you interact with more frequently than others, then Google Pay (formerly known as Google Wallet) is right for your organization. Ops teams or delegates can pay, initiate, and archive invoices in a streamlined, friendly manner. Gone are the days where you have to scroll through a long list of transactions or virtual credit cards to find that one receipt that you're looking for!

The payment solution is being used by the engineering team, which is responsible for making 3rd-party integrations.
The team builds B2B and B2C shops and payment systems are required.
  • Seamless
  • Can be used for all kind of businesses
  • Fast
  • Contactless
  • Not all banks support it and needs to be used via a paypal workaround
  • You depend on the app where Google Pay is installed
  • It is restricted to Android phones
It is ideal for any kind of B2C shop, where customers want to see as many different payment options as possible.
Especially shops targeting younger generations.
It also makes sense for in-app shops since it makes the purchase experience fast.
From my point of view, it is less adequate for a shop that needs to work in different countries with different banks, because it becomes a bit messy to maintain.

I need to transfer more than $5000/week and have been doing this for years with GooglePay. Now with the “upgrade” I can no longer do this. Stupid business decision and poor customer service from GooglePay
  • Poor customer service
  • Upgrade is a downgrade
  • Help center doesn’t provide help
  • Frustrating
  • New $5,000 per week limit is a bad business decision and is forcing me elsewhere
  • Help Center should be able to escalate to a supervisor
Upgrade is awful, “Help” Center is ineffective

This is being used only by me. It is not set up to be used by the whole organization or any department within. I use it personally outside the company. It is a very secure payment method. We need not provide the credit card information to the seller, rather save the information in the Google pay set up. The seller will not be able to see our card information.
  • Contactless payment.
  • Seller or receiver cannot see credit card information.
  • Might need fingerprint identification.
  • If the device is lost then information could be easily hacked.
It is a very secure mode of payment method. We need not provide the credit card information to the seller or receiver, rather save the information in the google pay set up. The seller will not be able to see our card information. It is a contactless payment method. Can set up access authentication that no one could use the Google wallet.
