{{Google payment apps}}
The "Google Wallet" [[brand name]] was first used for the company's [[mobile payment]] system [[Google Wallet (2011–2018)|of the same name]], which was introduced in 2011 before being merged with [[Android Pay]] into a new app called Google Pay in 2018.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Warren |first=Christina |date=May 26, 2011 |title=Google Reveals Mobile Payment System: Google Wallet |url=https://mashable.com/archive/google-mobile-payment-system-liveblog |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220418183244/https://mashable.com/archive/google-mobile-payment-system-liveblog |archive-date=April 18, 2022 |access-date=February 8, 2016 |website=[[Mashable]]}}</ref><ref name=":6">{{Cite web |last1=Nieva |first1=Richard |last2=Bennett |first2=Brian |date=January 8, 2018 |title=Google merges payment platforms under Google Pay brand |url=https://www.cnet.com/news/google-launches-google-pay-mobile-payment-service/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180108185621/https://www.cnet.com/news/google-launches-google-pay-mobile-payment-service/ |archive-date=January 8, 2018 |access-date=January 8, 2018 |website=[[CNET]]}}</ref> The old Wallet app, with its functionality reduced to a [[peer-to-peer banking|peer-to-peer payments service]], was rebranded [[Google Pay Send]] before it was discontinued as well in 2020.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Vonau |first=Manuel |date=June 30, 2020 |title=Google Pay Send mysteriously returns to Contacts, but is still unavailable in Assistant, Gmail, and Messages |url=https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/30/google-pay-send-is-no-longer-available-in-assistant-contacts-gmail-and-messages |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200701200752/https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/06/30/google-pay-send-is-no-longer-available-in-assistant-contacts-gmail-and-messages |archive-date=July 1, 2020 |access-date=April 23, 2022 |website=Android Police}}</ref> In 2020, the Google Pay app underwent an extensive redesign based on Google's India-focused [[Tez (software)|Tez]] app, expanding into an all-encompassing personal finance app.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bohn |first=Dieter |date=November 18, 2020 |title=Google Pay's massive relaunch makes it an all-encompassing money app |url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/18/21571806/google-pay-relaunch-money-payments-finances-deals-offers-banking-plex |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201118174531/https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/18/21571806/google-pay-relaunch-money-payments-finances-deals-offers-banking-plex |archive-date=November 18, 2020 |access-date=March 9, 2021 |website=[[The Verge]]}}</ref> This replaced the Tez app on the Play Store, while the 2018 Google Pay app continued to co-exist as a separate, pre-installed app on Android smartphones.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Romero |first=Andrew |date=March 11, 2022 |title=The difference between GPay and Google Pay – Which one should you use? |url=https://9to5google.com/2022/03/11/the-difference-between-gpay-and-google-pay-which-one-should-you-use/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220312225422/https://9to5google.com/2022/03/11/the-difference-between-gpay-and-google-pay-which-one-should-you-use/ |archive-date=March 12, 2022 |access-date=May 14, 2022 |website=[[9to5Google]]}}</ref><ref name="Pay">{{Cite web |last=Li |first=Abner |date=May 11, 2022 |title=Google Wallet wants to replace your physical wallet (and the old Google Pay app) |url=https://9to5google.com/2022/05/11/google-wallet-announcement/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220511183334/https://9to5google.com/2022/05/11/google-wallet-announcement/ |archive-date=May 11, 2022 |access-date=May 12, 2022 |website=[[9to5Google]]}}</ref>

=== Google Wallet (2011) launches ===
Google demonstrated the original version of the original Google Wallet app at a press conference on May 26, 2011. The first app was released in the US only on September 19, 2011. Initially, the app only supported [[Mastercard]] cards issued by [[Citibank]].

On May 15, 2013, Google announced the integration of Google Wallet and [[Gmail]], allowing users to send money through Gmail attachments. While Google Wallet was available only in the United States, the Gmail integration was made available in the U.S. and the United Kingdom.

In 2015, a physical Google Wallet card was launched as an optional addition to the app, which allowed users to make purchases at point-of-sale (in stores or online) drawing from funds in their Google Wallet account, attached debit card account, or bank account. The card could also be used to withdraw cash at ATMs with no Google-associated fee, and could be used like a debit card for virtually any purpose, including such things as renting a car. The Wallet Card was discontinued on June 30, 2016, and replaced with [[Android Pay]].

The original version of Google Wallet allowed users to make point-of-sale purchases with their mobile devices using [[near-field communication]] (NFC) technology. As of September 2015, however, Google dropped NFC from Google Wallet, offering the technology only through Android Pay, which was a separate application available only to Android users. As a result, any gift cards, loyalty programs, and promotional offers stored in an older version of Google Wallet could no longer be used.

=== Android Pay launches ===
Originally launched as Android Pay, the service was released at [[Google I/O]] 2015. Android Pay was a successor to and built on the base established by [[Google Wallet (2011-2018)|Google Wallet]] which was released in 2011.<ref name="WalletYT2011">{{cite web |last=Tilenius |first=Stephanie |year=2011 |title=Google Wallet Product Launch |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am8t6iZ7up0 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170504170457/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am8t6iZ7up0 |archive-date=May 4, 2017 |access-date=December 2, 2016 |via=YouTube}}</ref> It also used technology from the carrier-backed [[Softcard]]—Google had acquired its intellectual property in February 2015.<ref name="TheVerge-androidpay">{{cite web |date=May 28, 2015 |title=Google introduces Android Pay, a replacement for its wallet app on mobile |url=https://www.theverge.com/2015/5/28/8661867/google-introduces-android-pay-replace-wallet-app |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150528200923/http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/28/8661867/google-introduces-android-pay-replace-wallet-app |archive-date=May 28, 2015 |access-date=May 28, 2015 |website=The Verge}}</ref><ref name="TheVerge-Softshut">{{cite web |last=Welch |first=Chris |date=March 5, 2015 |title=Softcard is shutting down on March 31st, and Google Wallet will replace it |url=https://www.theverge.com/2015/3/5/8152801/softcard-shutting-down-march-31 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160404212736/http://www.theverge.com/2015/3/5/8152801/softcard-shutting-down-march-31 |archive-date=April 4, 2016 |access-date=March 5, 2015 |website=The Verge}}</ref> At launch, the service was compatible with 70% of Android devices and was accepted at over 700,000 merchants.<ref name="TheVerge-androidpay" /> The old Google Wallet still powered web-based Play Store purchases and some app-based peer-to-peer payments.<ref name="TheVerge-androidpay" />

In 2016, Google began a public trial in [[Silicon Valley]] of a related [[mobile app]] called Hands Free. In this system, the customer does not need to present a phone or card. Instead, a customer announces that they wish to "pay with Google" and give their initials to the cashier, who verifies their identity with a photo previously uploaded to the system. The customer's phone will only authorize payment if its geographic location system indicates that it is near a participating store.<ref>{{cite web |last=Lynley |first=Matthew |date=March 2, 2016 |title=Google experiments with a way to pay without taking out your phone |url=https://techcrunch.com/2016/03/02/google-experiments-with-a-way-to-pay-without-taking-out-your-phone/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170619070802/https://techcrunch.com/2016/03/02/google-experiments-with-a-way-to-pay-without-taking-out-your-phone/ |archive-date=June 19, 2017 |work=TechCrunch.com |publisher=AOL}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Bhat |first=Pali |date=March 2, 2016 |title=Testing, Testing – One, Two, Hands Free |url=http://googlecommerce.blogspot.com/2016/03/testing-testing-one-two-hands-free.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160509021828/http://googlecommerce.blogspot.com/2016/03/testing-testing-one-two-hands-free.html |archive-date=May 9, 2016 |access-date=December 2, 2016 |work=Google Commerce}}</ref>

=== Skip device unlock & Battery depletion ===
Most NFC passes can be transmitted when the Android device is locked, but the screen must be lit (Always On Display does not count.) This includes most compatible transit cards, loyalty passes, tickets, and campus IDs. However, government IDs can only be used when the device is unlocked.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Add your digital ID - Google Wallet Help |url=https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12436402 |access-date=2023-03-22 |website=support.google.com}}</ref>

=== Usage ===
Passes and cards stored in Wallet require varying levels of authentication in order to convey to a reader.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Tap to pay with your smartwatch - Wear OS by Google Help |url=https://support.google.com/wearos/answer/12059876 |access-date=2023-08-31 |website=support.google.com}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Save your Student ID to Google Wallet - Google Wallet Help |url=https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12059409 |access-date=2023-08-31 |website=support.google.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Use Google Wallet for transportation - Google Wallet Help |url=https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12059518 |access-date=2023-08-31 |website=support.google.com}}</ref>

=== Pass Transfers ===
When switching devices or factory resetting, passes that are limited to one device have the potential to be lost, as Android/Wear OS does not automatically remove data from Wallet when the aforementioned processes are initiated. The user must remember to clear device-specific passes, such as transit cards, IDs, and keys, from their current devices.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Manage items in Google Wallet - Google Wallet Help |url=https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12060038 |access-date=2023-12-26 |website=support.google.com}}</ref>

== Ecosystem ==
[[File:Add to Google Wallet badge.svg|thumb|"Add to Google Wallet" badge]]
Google Wallet has a passes feature, which exists in a larger ecosystem. They are presented below the user's payment cards and can be sorted manually. Developers must first be granted access to the Google Wallet API before they can author such items.<ref>{{cite web |title=Google Pay for Passes |url=https://developers.google.com/pay/passes |access-date=8 July 2020 |publisher=Google Inc.}}</ref> Passes can be shared to other users via a link, so long as the issuer of said pass does not restrict its addition to more than one user's Wallet.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Add items to Google Wallet - Google Wallet Help |url=https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12060038 |access-date=2023-05-31 |website=support.google.com}}</ref>

In its simplest form, an interaction (or transaction) between a pass and a system is facilitated by a 1D or 2D code, although it requires the customer to initiate the activity. Passes can also contain nothing but plain text or an image.

In addition to retailer-specific passes, Google Wallet also supports contactless student IDs that can be added through the Transact eAccounts and CBORD GET Mobile applications.<ref>{{cite web |date=January 7, 2020 |title=Transact announces Mobile Credential for Google Pay on all Android phones |url=https://www.cr80news.com/news-item/transact-announces-mobile-credential-google-pay-android-phones/ |website=CR80News}}</ref> Government-issued IDs are also supported in five American states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, and Maryland.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-01 |title=5 new ways to add more to Google Wallet |url=https://blog.google/products/google-pay/google-wallet-new-features-june-2023/ |access-date=2023-06-04 |website=Google |language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Add your digital ID - Google Wallet Help |url=https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12436402?hl=en |access-date=2023-02-28 |website=support.google.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-06-01 |title=5 new ways to add more to Google Wallet |url=https://blog.google/products/google-pay/google-wallet-new-features-june-2023/ |access-date=2023-06-01 |website=Google |language=en-us}}</ref>

=== Smart Tap ===
Google Wallet offers Smart Tap technology for use by developers and merchants that enables NFC passes to be stored within a customer's Google Wallet for use at a compatible terminal. Google offers the technology free of charge through the Google Pay & Wallet Console. Each pass issuer is given a Collector ID to use to configure their compatible terminals. If multiple passes within a user's Wallet match a terminal's Collector ID, a carousel will appear when tapping, allowing the user to tap their device, swipe to the next pass, and then repeat the process until all desired passes are transmitted.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Smart Tap communication flow |url=https://developers.google.com/wallet/smart-tap/introduction/communication-flow |access-date=2023-02-28 |website=Google Developers |language=en}}</ref>

Google Wallet prohibits [[FeliCa]]-based payment, transit, and loyalty functionality (e.g. Suica, PASMO, WAON, etc.) from being accessed on non-Japanese devices by restricting the initialization of the required third-party Osaifu-Keitai middleware apps on both Android & Wear OS. However, users have discovered ways to enable the functionality on non-Japanese models of [[Google Pixel|Pixels]] via [[Rooting (Android)|rooting]].<ref>{{Citation |last=Maksym |title=Enabling Osaifu-Keitai feature on non-japanese Google Pixel smartphones |date=2023-08-09 |url=https://github.com/kormax/osaifu-keitai-google-pixel |access-date=2023-08-09}}</ref><ref name=":3">{{Cite web |title=Add e-money & debit or credit cards to Google Wallet (Japan only) - Google Wallet Help |url=https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/13314575 |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=support.google.com}}</ref> This behavior is in contrast to other wallets such as Apple Wallet, which allow users with any regional device model (iPhone 7) to add FeliCa-based cards.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How do I use Suica on my Fitbit device? |url=https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/2465.htm |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=help.fitbit.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-18 |title=Add a Suica, PASMO, or ICOCA card to Apple Wallet |url=https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207155 |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=Apple Support |language=en}}</ref>

In turn, users with Japanese devices cannot access North American & European transit cards such as [[SmarTrip]] and [[Pop card|Pop]], though there is a workaround via previewing a route in Google Maps that uses the desired fare payment method, and selecting the banner that offers to add said card to Wallet.

Campus IDs are also locked to devices bought in the United States of America, Canada, and Australia. Google claims support for international devices is "coming soon," though this has been promised for several years as of 2024.<ref name=":0" />

In addition, UWB functionality for car keys is limited to regions that allow the frequency to be broadcast in personal mobile devices by law.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Safety & regulatory guide for Pixel Fold - Pixel Phone Help |url=https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/13380503 |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=support.google.com}}</ref>

=== Supported loyalty programs ===
These programs are conveyed through NFC through Google Wallet's Smart Tap feature. Some of these can be added through the Google Wallet app directly, while others must be added through the respective retailer's app or website. Programs that support One Tap are conveyed at the same time as a payment card stored in Google Wallet. Conversely, Two Tap programs are redeemed in a sequential manner, where a loyalty pass is scanned first, and then payment can be presented.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Smart Tap - Google Pay Merchant Help |url=https://support.google.com/pay/merchants/answer/7394145 |access-date=2022-06-11 |website=support.google.com}}</ref>

=== Supported [[public transport]] systems ===
Due to the open nature of the Android platform, some transit cards are only available through other Android-based mobile wallets or via their own apps (e.g. [[Navigo card|Navigo]] for Samsung Wallet or [[Transit Access Pass|TAP]] for Android). Transit cards that support direct provisioning can be issued within the Google Wallet app itself, without needing to download a separate third party application. Some public transport systems listed here support skipping verification with Google Pay on Android, wherein the only requirement for transmitting a payment or transit card is to have the screen awake. This is not supported on Google Pay for Wear OS or Fitbit OS, however. Users with watches must open the Wallet app time each time they scan their fare payment method (except FeliCa-based fare methods).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Smart Octopus in Samsung Pay |url=http://www.octopus.com.hk/en/consumer/mobile-payment/smart-octopus/about/index.html |access-date=2021-03-23 |website=www.octopus.com.hk |language=en-hk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=TAP App |url=https://www.taptogo.net/articles/en_US/Website_content/TAP-App |access-date=2021-03-23 |website=www.taptogo.net}}</ref>

All FeliCa-based cards require separate apps to be used and managed by Wallet. Suica and PASMO require the Osaifu-Keitai app, and Octopus requires the Octopus app. All these cards are region-locked and cannot be added by foreign tourists.<ref name=":3" />

Transit loyalty cards are passes that can be linked to one payment card in a user's Wallet. Similarly to a transit card, it will keep track of rides made on the system and offer fare caps. However, there is no standalone balance. All funds are pulled directly from the linked payment card.<ref name=":5" />

In addition, certain car models that support operation via UWB (AKA "passive entry") require an [[List of UWB-enabled mobile devices|UWB compatible device]], such as the [[Pixel Fold]], Pro models of Pixel 6 and later devices, or the [[Pixel Watch 3]], for enhanced functionality.<ref>{{Cite web |title=BMW Digital Key now available for Android smartphones. |url=https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/global/article/detail/T0362094EN/bmw-digital-key-now-available-for-android-smartphones?language=en |access-date=2021-12-01 |website=www.press.bmwgroup.com |language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Set up or manage a digital car key - Google Wallet Help |url=https://support.google.com/wallet/answer/12060041 |access-date=2023-03-21 |website=support.google.com}}</ref>{{main|List of digital keys in mobile wallets#Vehicles}}

=== Supported government-issued identifications ===
These territories permit their residents to save their government-issued identification credentials in Google Wallet. Mobile IDs in Google Wallet support three personal identification standards: ISO 18013-5, ISO 23220-4, and NIST 800-63.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021 |url=https://www.iso.org/standard/69084.html |access-date=2023-03-12 |website=ISO |language=en}}</ref> Users have a choice whether to present their ID via NFC or QR. Once the credential is read, the ID holder must confirm the personal information they wish to share (full name, age, etc.) The transmission to the reader device will be completed over [[Bluetooth Low Energy|BLE]] after the presentation is fully verified. Google has also announced plans for added credentials to be able to be requested by apps to present virtually in the future.
