Shopping in-store
1. Unlock your phone - You do not need to open the Google Pay app.
2. Hold the back of your phone close to the payment reader for a few seconds. When you've finished paying, a blue tick will appear on the screen.
3. If prompted, follow the instructions on the screen, some shops use older software that asks for a PIN or signature. If you're asked, follow the steps on the screen.
4. If a PIN is requested, enter the PIN that you set up for your Zip virtual card, this may be the same as the pin you set up for your Zip app.
Having issues?
- Make sure you have Google Pay selected as your default payment method (check settings).
- Make sure you have an NFC-enabled device and NFC is switched on.
- Try holding your phone in a different way. Your NFC antenna could be near the top or bottom of your device.
- Remove any cover you may have on your device.
- Hold your phone closer to the payment reader.
- Hold your phone near the reader for a few extra seconds.
If there is a tick but the retail assistant says the payment didn't go through, double-check that the shop accepts mobile payments.
