Android Pay also stores your gift cards, loyalty cards and special offers right on your phone. We’ll be rolling out gradually over the next few days, and this is just the beginning. We will continue to add even more features, banks and store locations in the coming months, making it even easier to pay with your Android phone.[/quote] Spoiler alert: not available in Canada

okay but why not paypal? paypal did it first and isn't tied to a specific phone brand
[QUOTE=bitches;48656096]okay but why not paypal? paypal did it first and isn't tied to a specific phone brand[/QUOTE] I'm confused, Android Pay doesn't seem to do anything PayPal does. What do you think Android Pay is?
[QUOTE=GhostSonic;48656206]I'm confused, Android Pay doesn't seem to do anything PayPal does. What do you think Android Pay is?[/QUOTE] I've seen physical stores in my area take payments via Apple's payment app. I've seen far fewer, but still some, stores that take PayPal. I presumed Android Pay to be of a similar purpose. PayPal allows you to attach various payment methods to your account and thus acts as a digital wallet. Seems the same to me.
Idc if it's Android Pay or PayPal or CockWallet3000, I'll use the first mobile payment option that is available in my country, accepted by stores and works on my phone. Right now I don't know of any.
IIRC apple is paying stores to not accept other forms of digital payment
[QUOTE=Map in a box;48658056]IIRC apple is paying stores to not accept other forms of digital payment[/QUOTE] .... that's not how emv contactless payments work

[QUOTE=Map in a box;48658056]IIRC apple is paying stores to not accept other forms of digital payment[/QUOTE] Doubt it. That's would open them up to a massive anti-trust suit.
Subways in south Dakota already had Andoid Pay signs

Android Pay APK [url]http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/wallet/android-pay-1-0-102576552-android-apk-download/[/url] download on phone, accept apps from unknown sources, install, win (if your american)
[QUOTE=bitches;48656096]okay but why not paypal? paypal did it first and isn't tied to a specific phone brand[/QUOTE] Well, Paypal is dodgy, it isn't hard to look for scare stories about Paypal. And Android isn't really a 'brand' of phone, it's the most dominant phone OS and every single (relevant) phone manufacturer that isn't Apple is Android, so the availability of Android Pay isn't going to be a problem.
I don't understand the point of this. I work as a cashier, and like 80% of the time, people using Apple Pay struggle to get it to work when you could just swipe your card in half the time. I doubt Android Pay will be any different.

[QUOTE=cody8295;48661248]I doubt android pay will be as shotty as paypal when it comes to chargebacks[/QUOTE] android pay is literally not even handling the money at all (unless you're using a grandfathered card that currently doesn't support emv tokenization) google wallet: bancorp ran your card for the amount of purchase, used that to fund a virtual mastercard, that was the card that ran for the merchant android pay: phone provides a tokenized card to merchant, it runs directly against your card

I somehow got mixed up with not the contactless payments but them paying labels to kill support for competitive music services.
