Google Pay™
Google Pay™ is a digital wallet platform and online payment system that powers in-app, tap-to-pay, and website purchases. It enables users to make payments online from the web and with Android phones, tablets and watches.
Google Pay™ allows customers to make payments in your website using any credit or debit card saved to their Google Account, including those from Google Play, YouTube, Chrome, or an Android device. Use the Google Pay™ API to request any credit or debit card stored in your customer’s Google account.
Google Pay™ is supported on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, Opera, and UCWeb UC browsers.
All merchants are enabled by default to accept payments for Google Pay™, with the exception of certain merchant categories
