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
2Checkout Monetization Platform is well suited for emerging SaaS businesses because along with payment processing, they offer you exposure to Affiliates and make electronic code delivery easy. The dashboard is cumbersome and reporting graphs/options are not easy to comprehend so it might become trouble when the business grows and you want to show it to venture capitalists or any investor/buyer.
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.
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.
It is surreal. Everything feels like they don't really want you to use them. I had to beg them to approve my account because of stupid approval questions. Example: give ONE url where payments will come from. (my payments will come from a page inside my webapp which means absolutely nothing to users who don't have a user in my webapp. I also have many URLs where the users can pay from) Then their API is super complicated to use. I couldn't believe how complicated it is. It is not well explained in the documentation and you have to guess until you understand the underlying logic. I wouldn't use it if I Stripe was available in my country.
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.
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.
There's no comparison. Using PayPal as my payment processor was a nightmare. PayPal was really designed for the purchaser not for the seller. Yes, they were cheap but you get what you pay for. Customer service at PayPal was also non-existent. 2Checkout on the other hand is designed for the seller. Their system is mature and feature-filled. It does everything I would need and allows me to present a professional purchasing experience to my clients. The documentation is good, but the best thing about 2Checkout is that I can contact a friendly tech support rep 24/7 via live online chat. I tell them what I'm trying to do and they help me out. If necessary they can escalate the support request and I always receive a chat transcript in my inbox afterward.
