One of the features of Apple Pay is the ability for users to pay via their smartphones, Apple Watch, and also via the web. This means that users can use Apple Pay to facilitate their web purchases as long as the site supports it. The good news is that if you’re not an Apple Pay user but a Google Pay user, that functionality is now available to you guys as well.In an announcement on Google’s blog, “We’re starting to roll out Google Pay on the web from desktop and iOS—which means you’ll start seeing it when you’re shopping on browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Firefox, no matter your device. Plus, if you save a card to Google Pay on your Pixelbook, you’ll be able to use it on the web with another device, like an iPhone.”
Yup, as per Google’s announcement not only is Google Pay being made available for the web, but iOS users will also be able to take advantage of it. It’s an interesting move since it seems like Google is trying to steal some of Apple’s market share, which they might actually do if there is Google Pay in your country/area but not Apple Pay.
These changes are rolling out already so if you are in a country that supports Google Pay, then this is something that can look forward to.
