Google announced that starting Monday, users will no longer need to enter their credit or debit card number, billing address or other payment information on websites that accept Google Wallet for payments.
Citing a recent a recent SeeWhy report which said 97 percent of mobile shoppers abandon their mobile shopping carts, Google said the new feature will get rid of the tedious and complex system and make it possible for its users to finish a transaction in just three steps.
"Typically, on mobile websites, you need to key in 17-20 fields of information on a small screen while having to click and scroll through multiple pages to provide shipping and billing information," an official blog post by Barak Turovsky, Head of Mobile Commerce, Google Wallet said. "Google Wallet makes it easy and secure for you. Simply click the Buy with Google Wallet button, log into Google Wallet and click to complete your order. That's it - you're done in 3 steps."
Users can pay without entering credit or debit card number, billing address, or other payment information as it's already securely stored in your Google Wallet. It also enables users to view their credit and debit cards, shipping addresses and transaction history conveniently in one place.
Users will be able to set a default card for future purchases on their Google Wallet account, making future transactions even faster. It gives a kind of confidence to shop as all your payment and related information is encrypted and stored on secure servers and not shared with anyone.
