Google has long let users pay online via Google Pay , giving you a quick and secure way to make purchases in your browser. Now, the company has announced another convenient addition to this process.
Google announced Google Pay direct checkout functionality today, and the company says this will bring your payment options from Google Wallet directly to a retailerโs checkout page. Check out the GIF below.
In other words, you can quickly choose the correct card or payment method stored in Google Wallet when you check out a purchase on a retailerโs website. Technically speaking, Google Pay on mobile already shows a pop-up menu on some websites, allowing you to make the payment and choose a card. However, Googleโs GIF (seen above) suggests that Google Pay direct checkout embeds your payment options and other info on the website itself. Weโve asked Google for more details on how direct checkout differs from the current solution, but direct checkout certainly seems like a more seamless experience.
โItโs available today for select merchants that use Airwallex and will soon be available to those that use Adyen,โ the company explained in its announcement. โWe plan to scale this capability with partners worldwide.โ
