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.
Xoom, a PayPal Service
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
We agreed to select Xoom as the main payment method since it had more flexible options. It gives the user a full guarantee of transacting safely and when there is a conflict the customer support team acts quickly. The charges for sending and receiving money are relatively low …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
We have not engaged in any other online payment service since we deployed Xoom. The performance and relations with the service provider have contributed to positive production. They do not share our company's financial information with any other institution. They regularly …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
I have found xoom to be most efficient in terms of real time processing. The money gets deposited faster than any other service providers I have used. The exchange amount is quite competitive when compared with others and its association with Paypal provides an added layer of …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
It was selected really because of the low expense.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
We use PayPal for everything else. We have tried Western Union but the fees are very high and less transparent.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
It is a safe and secure payment gateway that is available and accessible in almost every country in the world. Moreover, It is provided by a trusted company that is PayPal. You can accept/transfer money from any country directly into your bank account without any major glitches …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
In my personal opinion, Xoom is tailored for bigger money transfers compared to Revolut or TransferWise. Depending on the currency and country where we are focusing, the cost of transferring money could be smaller with Xoom (mainly in the US) or actually similar/worst. In terms …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
Xoom has similar features as Venmo and PayPal but it is more advanced and easier to use. There are more options and flexibility when it comes to Xoom compared to its competitors and it's backed by the reputation and name of PayPal which makes consumers trust it more.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
Xoom has worldwide coverage - most of the competition doesn't. Also, converting currency is painful in other apps. If only the markup fees were lower, Xoom would be a killer service!
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
Our team has preferred Xoom because it is an efficient and safe way to transfer funds. We are able to be as detailed as necessary with every transaction, which gives us the confidence of knowing where our money is going. We appreciate the ease of use and the free initial …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
For me, Xoom is the best tool to transfer and receive money because it's fast and secure and your recipients don't have to use Xoom. Besides, the transfer fees are generally good and I can pay my insurance bills.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
Xoom was able to send money to countries that Wise could not.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
Xoom is a PayPal administration, so you can have certainty that your beneficiaries in India will accept their cash. It is also mobile-friendly which makes it also user-friendly. And the customer support team is highly satisfactory.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
We also use a payment service called Stripe for credit card payments. The services are similar but offer different advantages. Overall the service stacks up well against them in the fact that we can integrate the payments easily, allow for payments by phone and most users are …
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
Xoom has a very clear objective and helps solve the purpose efficiently as compared to Salesforce.org Nonprofit Cloud. The feature of being fast, secure, and easy payments is the plus point with Xoom.
Chose Xoom, a PayPal Service
Easier to integrate, nice UI, and fast integration. The users are familiar with Paypal which gives them a lot of trust in order to enter their credit card info and make a payment.

Google PayXoom, a PayPal Service
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

Xoom is best suited to send and receive money between two people who live in different countries, not only that we can also send money to our friends, colleagues, family members directly in their bank accounts. They have a great currency exchange functionality that directly converts our received money into our local currency, and deposits it into our bank account within a few minutes. The only drawback is that not many people know about it, it needs good marketing so that more people can use this service, and from my experience, I can say it is very secure and a good competitor of Payoneer.

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.

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.

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.

The implementation was largely successful. Since this was a large shift from normal practices, we faced a few teething problems, but largely I'd say it went well.

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.
