The trend is undeniable — more and more customers use mobile wallets and electronic payments instead of credit cards or cash. According to a recent survey conducted by Mastercard, 79 percent of users globally prefer contactless payments like tap cards or mobile wallets such as Google Pay or Apple Pay. Google Pay is the top contactless payment choice for Android users — a digital wallet that’s connected to your Google account and can be downloaded through the Google Play store onto Android devices. Unlike Apple Pay, which requires an authentication process for customers, Google Pay allows users to pay simply by tapping their phone to a screen. While Google Pay is a necessary addition to any modern business, setting up a way for your business to accept digital wallets and contactless credit cards is a little complicated — especially for online payments. Here’s an easy-to-follow guide on how to use Google Pay in-store and online. Why Google Pay?As a mobile wallet, Google Pay has a number of benefits.

Anyone with an NFC-enabled Android smartphone or watch can use Google Pay. iPhone users can use the Google Pay app. Customers don’t even need to open the app to complete a transaction — merely tapping their phones does the trick. Google Pay doesn’t charge merchants, so businesses can accept contactless payments with no additional cost. Google Pay offers customers and businesses enhanced security 24-7 with the Google Pay Shield feature to detect fraud, prevent hacking, and verify identities.
