Furthermore, there is no fee for personal accounts to receive funds, while corporations are charged 2.75%.
Google Pay is a service from Google that combines the company’s Google Wallet and Android Pay services into one app.
Google Pay enables users to send peer-to-peer payments (via a sub-service called Google Pay Send that operates like Venmo or Square Cash), make in-app purchases, buy from websites, store loyalty and rewards cards, and make NFC payments in-store at participating retailers.
There are no fees to transfer funds from your bank account to your Google Pay balance and vice versa. The maximum amount per transaction has been reduced to $5,000, with a maximum withdrawal amount per rolling seven-day period of $20,000. The maximum amount you can pay friends and family per rolling seven-day period is also $5,000

Smartphones are becoming the new wallet for many consumers who are forgoing traditional payment methods in-store, according to the Worldpay report. In 2019, 22 percent of in-store purchases globally were conducted using mobile/digital wallets1.
“Mobile commerce is set to make up half of all global eCommerce spending in five years because the reach and scale of the technology means you can shop and buy anywhere,” said Shane Happach, EVP, head of global eCommerce, Worldpay Merchant Solutions, FIS.
“If a merchant’s payment strategy doesn’t consider mobile-first payment methods like digital wallets and ‘Buy Now, Pay Later’ options, they are going to lose market share to their competitors.”
The merchant never gets to see the actual card number.
When a customer makes a payment using a digital wallet, the actual credit card numbers, expiration date and CVV are converted into a unique ID referred to as a secure "token".
The original information is not contained within the token, and thus sensitive data cannot be extracted from the token. The entire process is referred to as tokenization.
In the United States, KYC (Know Your Customer) legal mandates refers to the systems which a business puts in place in order to protect itself from fraudulent activity.
When a customer chooses to pay using digital wallet set up on their mobile device, they've already passed identity checks and have those documents stored on file with the digital wallet services provider.
When a customer makes a payment using a digital wallet, the actual credit card numbers are encrypted and then converted into a "token". This process is called, tokenization.
This makes it 100% impossible to identify the actual credit card used. Customers cannot falsely accuse of merchant of charging their card because the data is only available on the buyer's mobile device.
Online shoppers don't need to disclose sensitive credit details or create an account to buy from a merchant.
Allowing customers to pay with digital wallets gets rid of these extra steps.
This creates a more seamless shopping experience, a lower 'abandoned cart rate', and leads to higher conversions.
If you sell federally regulated products such as hemp-derived CBD in all of its forms, delta 8/9 vape cartridges, kratom, firearms or products and services considered ‘high-risk’ by leading payment processors, then its imperative that you begin accepting digital wallet transactions.
Smartphones, tablets, laptops and smartwatches are a part of everyday life in the digital world. People have these devices on their body or in hand for everyday tasks, such as checking email, accessing bank accounts and making purchases — with and without a physical credit card.
