Using Google Pay is not complicated at all. You can use the app after completing simple procedures. Simply download the app either from the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store (yes, this app is also available for iOS) to get started. Once downloaded, you will be asked to sign in using your existing Google Pay or Google Account. If you do not have one yet, you can sign up for a new account through the app itself. After doing so, you will be asked to select your preferred payment method. You can link your Google Pay account with your debit card, credit card, bank account, PayPal, or Visa Checkout account.

Simply tap the Send or Request Money Option. Enter the amount you want to send and the recipient’s information, hit send, and you are done.
