Google Pay FAQs

When making in-store purchases with Google Pay, simply unlock your mobile device using your fingerprint, PIN, pattern or passcode and hold it near the NFC-equipped payment terminal. You do not need to open the Google Pay app to initiate the transaction. The payment will automatically be processed using your default debit or credit card. To pay with a card other that your default card, prior to making a payment you must unlock your mobile device, open the Google Pay app, tap the card you would like to pay to view the card details screen and select the option "Set as default card." This will make the selected card your new default card. When you attempt to make a purchase with Google Pay, you will now be able to complete your purchase using the desired card.

Your experience with Google Pay may vary by merchant. If asked to verify the last four digits of your card number when making a purchase, provide the merchant the last four digits of the device account number. This number can be found by opening the Google Pay app and selecting the desired card to view the detail page. You may also be asked to provide a signature or debit card PIN to complete your transaction.
