Gcash x Google Pay

[coinrifft]

Hindi ko alam pero napansin ko lang today na available na ang Google Pay sa Gcash.





Sa pagkakaalam ko maraming pwedeng bayaran gamit ang Google Pay katulad ng:

• Mga paid apps sa Google Play
• In-app purchases (coins, items, game passes, atbp.)
• Subscriptions (YouTube Premium, Google One, apps, games)

So katulad ng ibang proceso, pipili ka ng items sa Google Pay then ang payment method ay Gcash.

“This integration empowers our users to move through digital and physical spaces with greater ease, security, and reach, anchored in our purpose of making the everyday lives of Filipinos better,” said Ren-Ren Reyes, President and CEO of G-Xchange, Inc., the mobile wallet operator of GCash.

“We’re proud to work with GCash to bring faster, convenient, and more secure payments to the Philippines. This launch underscores our enduring commitment to accelerating financial inclusion and fueling the next chapter of the Philippines’ dynamic digital economy,” said Prep Palacios, Country Manager, Google Philippines.

Kakalaunched lang din kasi ng Google Pay sa bansa natin kaya integrated na siya sa iba pang mga wallet apps tulad ni Gcash. Katulad ni GoTyme ay integrated na din siya kay Google Pay. Kaya tingin ko lahat ng wallet apps pati na rin yung iba pang mga banking apps ay integrated na kay Google Pay kaya kahit hindi ko pa nagagamit yan at hindi ko gagamitin yan, malaking ginhawa yan sa madaming transactions online pati gusto cashless.

I've been using Google Pay since 2024 pero through linking my Maya debit card sa Paypal, which was also linked sa Google Account ko, not sure if that's the same thing, though. 
Basically, whenever I buy stuff in-game, the payment is made via Google Pay, which requests payment from Paypal, then Paypal requests funds from my Maya wallet. Yes, complicated siya pero nakasanayan na kasi.
This gets me thinking, this new feature ng GCash, is it more convenient than the one I'm used to? I hope they'll make these changes on Maya too.

Pero sa tingin ko available naman yung GCash in terms of subscribing sa YouTube, Google One, etc even kahit wala si Google Pay inside GCash. I think ang kinagandahan nito was probably on subscription na Google Pay lang ang pwede at napaka convenient nga nito. Just saw this news here and all I can say is that "this is so fine".

Magkaiba pa ba yung na lilink mo yung Gcash mo sa Goole Playstore sa Google Pay? Like diba for example may mga bibilhin na apps or subscription sa Google playstore, pwede natin direkta gamitin yung gcash galing dun?
Curious ako ano pinagkaiba nitong Google Pay.

Hindi naman siya ka complicated sa pagkaka explain mo,  .

Parang the same din naman yata, kung meron man pagkaka-iba eh maliit lang naman. Hindi pa ako nakakagamit ng Google Pay, although kung Paypal ang pag-uusapan eh heto ang ginagamit ko linking my credit card.

Siguro the more options the better ika nga. So maraming na tayong choices sa ngayon kung anong services ang gagamitin natin. Sa cut na lang siguro magka-iba o kung magkano ang charge na service fee pag ginamit natin sila. Pero overall, ok parin naman, at talagang moving na tayo sa digital payment.

It's a different thing. Yung Google Pay is recently lang na release sa Philippines and piling mga credit card pa lang ang pwede. Basically, may credit card ka na without using the actual physical card tapos itatap mo lang. Sa pag gamit naman nito sa GCash, I'm not sure kasi GooglePay pa lang ang nagamit ko and hindi ko pa 'to linilink. Parang ok naman na kahit hindi dahil nagagamit naman siya on normal occasions basta nag aaccept ng credit card yung merchant.

Hindi ko magets pa ano purpose ng pag link mo kasi pwede naman ilink mo na lang ang card mo directly, unless you are using the protection of Google Pay (dahil mag bibigay siya ng ibang card number) para sa privacy ng credit card number mo talaga.


*Edit.

Guys kakatry ko lang. Gets ko na. Bale yung GCash mo, instantly magkakaroon ka ng debit card na connected sa GCash account mo and nakalagay na siya sa GooglePay mo. Look.

Recently lang kasi nag support si Google Pay pag dating dito sa atin sa Pinas and bind with our card eh pero after nito maging trending maraming pinoy na ang gumagamit nila madalas na gamit nila is CC sa pag bayad nila tapos naka bind into their devices such as watch which is sobrang dali lang talaga so if Gcash AFAIK is debit card pa din ito so may pin pa atang request ito pag ginamit nyo sa phone nyo tas Gcash payment na mastercard so para sa mga naka iphone dyan tamang tiis muna tayo kasi di pa din supported ang wallet payment.

Bago lang yan actually, and mukhang maganda siya pero hindi ko pa nasusubukan.

Mostly kasi yung mga online subscriptions ko, pwede na via debit cards like GoTyme, kahit GCash pwede rin.

Pero maganda yung Google Play since widely recognized siya, baka ma-try ko rin sometime. About YouTube Premium, narinig ko rin na may NBA subscription yata doon. Baka subukan ko rin kung kaya ng budget. Pag legit kasi medyo mahal, hehe. May nakita pa nga ako sa FB, one season daw 300 pesos lang.  

nice one @crwth, try ko nga yan.

Matagal ko na ring alam ito nung magamit ng anak ko ng mag upgrade sa spotify, at yun na rin ang ginagamit ko sa pagbili pag may Google pay payment.
Ito ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit number one ang GCash, sila ang tunay na all in one payment application.
May plano ang Coins.ph na maging leading all in one payment application, malayo pa ang hahabulin nila sa Gcash, nagawa na nila samantalang sila plano pa lang.

I tried it as well, one tap activation 'lang pala, seamless at wala ka ng iba pang gagawin.
Google Pay = Google Wallet din pala, at 'yung mismong Google Wallet app (called 'Wallet), installed na pala kaagad ito sa phone (considering kaka-reset pa 'lang nitong android phone ko).
I saw the option to link Google Pay sa GCash profile ko and it says 'lang na dapat daw default account ko sa Google Wallet app is GCash.
Did some digging about this too, so far, zero fees sya when using the Google pay itself, of course, 'yung gamit mo na card (debit or credit) will have their own fees.

I will soon test this on few in-game purchases (cough* Where Winds Meet).

Oo try mo na, maganda mag tap ka na lang ng phone para sa payments and at least, hindi mo na kailangan mag transfer gamit QR etc. Pwede na siya as debit card.

Malayo pa yung kailangan nilang habulin. Lalo na sa pag alaga ng mga users. Kailangan nila maimprove yun at sa pag kakaalam ko, na hack pa ata ang discord group nila.

Feeling ko default app talaga siya basta ang region mo supports it. Dati naman wala pa eh, nung na activate at nag karoon ng GPay sa Pinas, nakainstall na 'to parati.

Hmm. Maganda ba? Hahaha. Naghahanap ako ng pwedeng bilhin eh. Hindi ko sure kung magugustuhan ko yung Silk Song pero naging GOTY sa Steam.

*^edit Free pala yung Where Winds Meet haha hindi ko lang sure kung magustuhan ko haha
