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 …

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.
  • Simple payment options to encourage customers to purchase.
  • Loyalty rewards can be implemented into their app without making it necessary for customers to download another app to connect with you.
  • Faster checkout.
  • During the pandemic we had to temporarily close our webstore, during which time we redesigned the setup to include a new look and new payment options. Google Pay makes it easier for customers to check out quickly and complete their purchases on our new store.
  • We have not been able to make use of Google Pay for in-person transactions at sporting events; I am unsure how this would improve the process of selling publications at NCAA and other collegiate events
I was not a part of the discussion to implement Google Pay into our store, but I am definitely an advocate. Amazon Pay was used sparingly but still a helpful option; I believe that Google Pay is more widespread and simpler to use. I would be interested to see how payment disputes are handled between these different payment platforms; so far, we have only had to handle disputes through PayPal, which can be complicated but have typically been resolved quickly.

This is used personally by me as well as other members of my organization to maintain all the credits and debits. The user interface is quite intuitive. In India, this application works with UPI as well. You can add multiple bank accounts to make payments. You can also check your bank balance regularly. We also use it in our management to send small to middle-range payments to employees.
  • Faster response during transactions.
  • The NFC feature for Android devices.
  • Available for both platforms i.e. iOS and Android.
  • Transaction failure
  • Needs internet access to work
  • Authentications are not secure
  • No emails for transactions. Just notifications.
This well suited for almost all the payments that you make. Users can save time and instead of using internet banking of their respective banks, users can just use google pay to transfer and accept money. You can just scan the QR code to make payments. There is everything like mobile recharge, credit card bill payments, etc.
  • Intuitive interface
  • Compatible with both iOS and Android
  • Arguably secure payments
  • Digital way of creating audits
  • Alternative to other payment services
  • Secure and fast payments
This is somewhat better than Paytm because in their case when payment remains incomplete and money gets deducted, you sometimes have to wait for a long time for the refund. But in Google Pay, you don’t have to worry as the deducted amount gets refunded without any hassle. Also, the payments are 128 bit SSL encrypted so they are absolutely safe and secure.

I am personally using Google Pay (formerly Google Wallet) as a daily driver to make all the payments for household activities like electricity, water, broadband, and landline bills. It has covered almost all the popular private and government vendors in my area. One can directly make the payments using bank account as well as UPI.
  • You can send money to anyone, anywhere, anytime
  • Multi-vendor support
  • Fast and instant money transfers
  • Secure
  • Trusted and reliable
  • Regular application updates
  • Sometimes the Android application hangs and transaction fails. But is very rare and also dependent on the availability of the bank server
Google Pay (formerly Google Wallet) is best suited if you like to make all your payments digitally. It is fast and reliable with regular updates and support from Google.
  • Cashback scratch cards for each payment made
  • Bank transfer option
  • Option to scan QR code and make quick payments
  • It is free to download and use for individual users
  • Have saved me from the hassle of standing in long queues to make payments

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.
  • Fast payments.
  • It's secure.
I have had no direct experience with the Customer Support team for google pay. I never faced any issues or problems. I heard from other friends and colleagues that the customer service is great. This method of payment is now more and more being used as it is more secure and also at the same time fast and easy.
