Google Pay has added PayPal integration for online merchants Online merchants that accept Google Pay in 24 countries will now be able to accept payments from PayPal through the mobile wallet.
Eligible merchants can make a small code change to begin accepting PayPal through Google Pay, as long as the wallet's already enabled on the company's site.
This furthers a previous collaboration between the services, which enabled PayPal as a funding mechanism within the wallet and allowed Google Pay customers to pay with PayPal for Google-owned services, like YouTube and Gmail.
This integration could help decrease fragmentation among mobile wallets, particularly at checkout, to boost adoption of Google Pay.
