Three new features have been added to Google Pay to make online purchasing safer and easier. The purpose of these improvements is to enable customers to view card advantages prior to payment, as well as to access "buy now, pay later" choices and safely autofill card information.
Numerous credit cards come with a variety of benefits, such as travel points, cashback, or restaurant discounts.
However, figuring out which card to use to get the greatest offer might be difficult. At the point of sale, Google Pay will now display the advantages of your cards. Cardholders of Capital One and American Express who use desktop Chrome can presently use this function. The benefits of each card are displayed in the autofill drop-down menu throughout the checkout process, making it simpler for you to select the ideal one. In the future, Google intends to expand this capability to include additional cards.
Online shopping with a "buy now, pay later" option is growing in popularity. Earlier this year, Google Pay began to offer alternatives like Affirm and Zip. More American websites and Android applications currently provide this option. During the checkout process, you have the option to create a new account or link your current one with a provider. You now have greater financial freedom as you make purchases over time.
By automatically entering your shipping, invoicing, and payment information, autofill helps you save time. This functionality is being improved by Google Pay to make it more easy and safe. You may now enter your card information using your fingerprint, face scan, or screen lock PIN during the Chrome or Android checkout process. This implies that entering your security code by hand will be unnecessary.
This update makes sure that your card information is entered safely and promptly. Should any suspicious behavior be found, you may be prompted to unlock your smartphone before filling out the form. This stops anyone who gains access to your device from using your card.
The new capabilities for Google Pay are designed to make checkout quick and secure. You may now view card perks more quickly, take advantage of new "buy now, pay later" alternatives, and safely autofill your payment information with these upgrades.
