	Google Pay	PayPal Payments Pro
Considered Both Products	Google Verified User 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Courtney Birnbaum Publications & Marketing Specialist in Marketing at Learfield IMG College (Publishing, 501-1000 employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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. Incentivized Helpful? Sara Yaseen Special Assistant & Operations Associate in Human Resources at The Hub Project (Non-profit Organization Management, 51-200 employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Arush Soel DevOps Engineer in Information Technology at Bebo Technologies Pvt Ltd (Computer Software, 501-1000 employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Ajay S Insan Web Developer in Information Technology at Ultimate Devs (Information Technology & Services, 1-10 employees) 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Heidi M. Garrido Engineering Technician in Engineering at SRF Consulting Group (Civil Engineering, 201-500 employees) 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. Incentivized Helpful?	PayPal Ashlie Pappas Founder at Naturally Ashlie, LLC (Health, Wellness and Fitness, 1-10 employees) Chose PayPal Payments Pro I don't think there's really any competition here. There's Venmo (also owned by PayPal) who is now offering business accounts, but it still isn't quite the same. The closest thing in terms of ease of use would be Apple Pay or Google Pay (and there are a handful of others out … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose PayPal Payments Pro They are both great but the reputation of Paypal Payments Pro which has been around a lot longer is a significate difference when dealing with vendors. Paypal Payments Pro is a well respected name and known for making monetary transaction safe and secure . This gives us … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Chose PayPal Payments Pro From my personal experience, PayPal Payments is by far the easiest to implement and better supported and documented. Other options are either over complicated or too expensive. Incentivized Helpful? Ramakant Rout Digital Marketing Profession in Information Technology at sociodigit (Information Technology & Services, 11-50 employees) Chose PayPal Payments Pro PayPal is much easier to use and it gave me options to pay through PayPal directly when doing online purchases. Costs were also more advantageous as I wouldn't have large amounts of money to transfer. Incentivized Helpful? Blake Baron Product Manager in Product Management at Midwest Tungsten Service (Retail, 11-50 employees) Chose PayPal Payments Pro PayPal Payments, at the end of the day, was an easy sell to management and an auto integration with our eCommerce software. We already informally accepted PayPal for international customers to reduce risk, and taking it a step further was an easy next step. It was a one or … Incentivized Helpful? Jaime L. Regan Partner in Legal at Harris Beach PLLC (Law Practice, 201-500 employees) Chose PayPal Payments Pro PayPal Payments is probably my favorite payment app because it is the most intuitive, it is easy to use, and it is also one of the longest standing apps which has given ample time to become familiar with it and ensure that it works well. It allows employees to designate one … Incentivized Helpful?
