A customer simply downloads the Google Pay app onto their Android device, adds a debit or credit card, verifies the card information, and saves it. It works the same way as Apple Pay, but for Android users. It’s a very similar product to Apple Pay (and potentially Apple Pay’s biggest competitor).Īs a contactless payment, Google allows customers to pay for their items using an app on their smartphone or smartwatch. Today, Google Pay is a digital wallet that allows users to send and receive money, store card information and use that information to pay for items in apps, in stores and online. In 2018, Google Wallet merged with Android Pay to become Google Pay. Google Pay started as Google Wallet, a peer-to-peer payment system (like Venmo or PayPal) for sending and receiving money to friends and families.

The bad news? This is going to hurt those who use multiple smartphones when Google introduces its “Plex” bank accounts. Rather, those are still supported through Google Play Services with the same interface that the new interface uses. The good news? This doesn’t mean that Google Pay’s NFC payments are locked to one smartphone. To continue using Google Pay, please sign in with a different account. Your Google Pay account is being used on another device. You’ll be walked through the entire process of setup again, and after the new device is verified, the other smartphone will refresh and show an “account used on another device” warning. Once you’ve signed in to Google Pay on one smartphone, signing into the app on a second phone will boot the other one out. What that first setup won’t tell you, though, is that the system only works on one device. If you sign up for the new Google Pay experience today - it’s invite-only right now - you’ll have to get things set up on your device in a pretty standard setup.
Google Pay is now locked to only one smartphone at a time.
Google is rolling out a new experience for Google Pay, but it comes with a major disadvantage.
