Google has rolled out a series of payment updates aimed at giving online shoppers more choice, convenience, and value.
U.S. consumers can now access buy now, pay later (BNPL) options like Affirm and Zip directly through Chrome autofill, with Klarna and Afterpay integration coming soon, according to a Tuesday (Aug. 12) company blog post.
This feature allows purchases to be split into installments in just a few clicks, catering to growing consumer demand for flexible payments.
To make international remittances easier, Google is testing a transparent experience in Wallet online and Search. Users can view clear fee and exchange rate details from providers like Ria Money Transfer, Xe, and Wise, then send funds directly.
Soon, this functionality will be accessible by simply searching for any currency exchange rate on Google, simplifying cross-border transactions.
Google is also expanding Chrome autofill to display rewards information for over 100 credit cards. This helps shoppers quickly identify which card offers the best benefits for eCommerce purchases, maximizing value with every transaction.
By integrating flexible financing, transparent remittances, and enhanced rewards, Google’s updates aim to meet evolving shopper expectations while helping merchants keep pace with payment trends.
