PayPal Stories Archive

Update: As of 29 July 2024, customers will need to replace their PayPal payment method to continue checking out online with the Google Pay button (except for online purchases at the Google Store or other Google properties). Customers can add a PayPal branded debit or credit card to their Google Wallet and continue earning cash back and rewards on eligible purchases.

 

Over the past few years, we’ve been focused on partnering across the industry to drive greater choice and flexibility in how and where our customers can pay -- whether that’s in mobile apps, online, in-store or across new contexts. As part of this effort, we’ve announced partnerships with leading payment networks, financial institutions and technology companies.

 

We already partner with Google to make it easy for our shared users to pay via PayPal in-store, online and in-app with Google Pay and on Chrome mobile web at millions of online merchants using their PayPal accounts and their device authentication. Today, we’re extending that partnership to deliver more seamless payment experiences across the Google ecosystem. Soon, users in the U.S. who add PayPal to any one of Google’s services will be able to pay across the Google ecosystem, anywhere that PayPal is offered as a payment method, with only minimal setup.

 

For example, when a user adds PayPal to their Google Play account, it will automatically enable their linked PayPal account and make it available as a payment option across popular Google services like Gmail, YouTube, Google Pay and Google Store, including where Google offers peer-to-peer payments, without the user needing to log in again.

 

PayPal and Google Pay share common goals of creating simple payment solutions across our platforms that enable people to shop more seamlessly. We look forward to continued collaboration that helps increase conversion for merchants and gives users the flexibility, security and speed that digital payments can offer.
