Google Payments or Google Pay is linked with your Google account and helps you purchase in the Google Play Store or Movies and Books store. Payments also help make recurring purchases of Google Workspace and Play Music or YouTube subscription music.
In the Chrome app for Android, the Payment method will work like an auto-fill that helps insert the card details on the merchant payments page.
For example, during cart checkout on Amazon or eBay, you can allow Google Payments to auto-fill the card details already stored in the Google account. However, it will first request and validate the CVV number to auto-fill details. This will help to avoid memorizing your card number and protect you from unauthorized transactions.
Though you may ask if saving the card details in Chrome is safe. I save the credit card details on Chrome and haven’t faced any issues. It helps save a lot of time and energy. Moreover, I do not have to remember any card details.
As I mentioned, the card won’t process any transaction until you verify the CVV number on the merch site.
Add Payment Card Details
You can add multiple cards as payment methods and choose the appropriate one while making the transaction. The card information is stored within the Google payments portal and synced across devices. The payment methods feature in Chrome browser lets you access this as per your need.
Here are simple steps to add a new payment card:
- Launch Google Chrome for Android.

menu for options. - Select Settings from the options list.

The new card will be valid only after authorization with a one-time password (OTP). Google may also deduct a few cents and reverse the amount in a day or two to validate the payment method.
