Considered Both Products
Google Pay
Chose Google Pay
Convenience. But also Google Pay just automatically linked everything together without consent.
Chose Google Pay
GooglePay appears similar but the seller charges no commission. On the downside, there is also no payment protection. So if a transaction goes wrong and it is paid directly from a bank account or via a debit card then you have no buyer protection. This is a significant risk …
Chose Google Pay
There are other options out there but you can use both and do not have to necessarily use it as a replacement so it is a fine tool to use.
Chose Google Pay
I was not a part of the discussion to implement Google Pay into our store, but I am definitely an advocate. Amazon Pay was used sparingly but still a helpful option; I believe that Google Pay is more widespread and simpler to use. I would be interested to see how payment …
Chose Google Pay
We have used PayPal Payments as well. Google Pay is pretty on par with PayPal Payments but opens up payments to additional users since many people have a google account.
Chose Google Pay
We've used PayPal for business in the past and it can sometimes be a little problematic locating where everything is. Google Pay (formerly known as Google Wallet)'s interface is so smooth that we only need to look in a tab or two to glean important information or catalog an …
Chose Google Pay
Google Pay is almost supported with every shopping website whereas Amazon pay only supports Amazon and you need to first add funds to your Amazon Pay wallet. With Google Pay, you just need to input your UPI in and the rest of the gateway handles it for you by redirecting you to …
Chose Google Pay
This is somewhat better than Paytm because in their case when payment remains incomplete and money gets deducted, you sometimes have to wait for a long time for the refund. But in Google Pay, you don’t have to worry as the deducted amount gets refunded without any hassle. Also, …
Chose Google Pay
We have used PayPal Payments, Amazon Pay, etc. They all seem to be pretty similar so I would recommend adding any one of these to your website.
Chose Google Pay
There are many alternative products on the market that function similarly to Google Pay. I think the closest competitor I've used would be Apple Pay, but there are other products like Venmo and Zelle that are somewhat similar. I think Google Pay is at least as good, if not …
Chose Google Pay
I think Google Pay is roughly comparable to the above products. That said, Google Pay came onto the market much later than things like PayPal, Apple Pay, Venmo, and other peer to peer wallet apps, so it is easy to see why people already have preferences for other apps. My …
Chose Google Pay
Gave Google Wallet a chance when it launched and have been using it since. There were no other evaluations that took place. I have always been happy to try out new Google products and watch them grow as they develop and add features. The timeline has been a little slow but it's …
Chose Google Pay
  • Currently I'm using all of these apps including Phone Pe. But mostly using Google Pay its just because of its performance.
  • Comparing to these other apps, Google Pay have the best user interface and user experience, it is the main reason that I'm using Google Pay more than other …
Chose Google Pay
Paytm and Amazon pay are also good application but you know everyone have blind trust on Google services because of their free and secure services. Just tap and pay direct from your bank accounts making these app so easy and beautiful. No doubt Google apps UI's are always …
Chose Google Pay
I like PayPal because I can use the money instantly with my debit card, something I don't see Google Wallet offering. I like Google Wallet because everything I do online somehow seamlessly work with Google and it would be great if I could use this exclusively.
iATS Payments
Chose iATS Payments
iATS has a lot more functionality than PayPal, particularly when it comes to Salesforce integrations. Click&Pledge has the best Salesforce integration, while Classy has the slickest UI.
Chose iATS Payments
Authorize.Net does not currently integrate with Salesforce which was a critical function that we needed, so we switched to iATS a little over 2 years ago once we implemented our Salesforce database. We are currently in the process of switching to Classy/WePay for the added …
Chose iATS Payments
Each of the products listed above have positive and negative features. We still use each of the services listed, in addition to FoxyCart, and each one performs a different function for us. To be honest, I wish that we had one payment processor that we could use for all our …

Likelihood to Recommend
The most fitting scenarios for use of Google Pay generally include times in which people go out to eat or grab coffee or drinks. Other times are for planned parties where one person needs to put down a credit card to pay vendors, buy products/food/etc, and needs to be reimbursed by others who may not have cash/are not in the same office space as the payor/and other similar circumstances

If you just need a basic payment processor, then iATS will work fine. If you are looking for more advanced integrations or automated functions then you may want to keep looking. We've utilized iATS for over 2 years and are currently in the process of switching to Classy/WePay due to the extra features they offer.

Cons
  • Google Wallet had a few glitches I was unhappy with, but Google Pay seems to have corrected them. Who knows if the changes were related to the name change or if they just happened to coincide with the timing for the most part, but either way I really don't have any big complaints.

  • Website form integration into Salesforce needs improvement. You can create custom questions on your website, but there is no way to have the data import into certain fields, it only syncs to the database in the iATS fields, which makes reporting very difficult.
  • It's very tedious to set up a recurring donation, in fact, every time I do it I have to have their support team walk me through and ensure it's set up correctly.
  • No option for donors to elect to cover the transaction fees.
  • Automatic email notifications from online transactions are limited.
  • Sometimes (but not always) there is a one day delay in the transactions syncing to the database.

Usability
I feel that this system not safe. Google keep charging my credit card but they say they cannot trace the payment because there is no transaction record! I cannot stop the payment.

Support Rating
I have had no direct experience with the Customer Support team for google pay. I never faced any issues or problems. I heard from other friends and colleagues that the customer service is great. This method of payment is now more and more being used as it is more secure and also at the same time fast and easy.

There are some situations where i would choose iATS, but there are other excellent competitors that should be considered as well. Which you choose will depend on your particular needs, the size of your organization and what functionality you need

Alternatives Considered
I was not a part of the discussion to implement Google Pay into our store, but I am definitely an advocate. Amazon Pay was used sparingly but still a helpful option; I believe that Google Pay is more widespread and simpler to use. I would be interested to see how payment disputes are handled between these different payment platforms; so far, we have only had to handle disputes through PayPal, which can be complicated but have typically been resolved quickly.
