Did you know that digital wallets are projected to account for 65%<\/a> of all e-commerce payments by 2030? That\u2019s why offering fast payment options like Google Pay can make a huge difference to your fundraising.<\/p>\n

For donors using Android devices, giving through Google Pay is just a few taps away.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore why that matters, how it helps your nonprofit turn more visitors into completed donations, and how to set it up.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>What is Google Pay?<\/h2>\n

Google Pay<\/a> is a digital wallet that stores users\u2019 credit or debit card details inside their Google accounts.<\/p>\n

When donors use an Android device and have a Google Pay account, they\u2019ll see the Google Pay button while checking out at retailers, nonprofits, and more. Note that they need to have added a card to their Google Wallet first.<\/p>\n

With a simple tap, their saved card details will be filled in automatically. In other words \u2013 no scrambling for card numbers, no delays, and fewer abandoned carts or donations.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>4 Reasons Why Google Pay Matters for Your Nonprofit<\/h2>\n
\n

<\/a>1. It\u2019s fast<\/h3>\n

As you probably know, the faster it is to donate, the more likely someone is to complete their gift. Google Pay, like Apple Pay<\/a> and other digital wallets, eliminates the need to enter card numbers, meaning donors can give in seconds.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>2. It\u2019s secure<\/h3>\n

Google Pay wields tokenization and biometric verification (like fingerprint or face ID), making it one of the safest ways to pay online. So, donors are likely to feel more confident sharing their information.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>3. It supports more conversions on mobile<\/h3>\n

Mobile giving<\/a> is on the rise, but slow forms and complicated checkouts can lead to drop-off. Google Pay shortens the process and keeps donors moving through to completion \u2013 especially on mobile!<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>4. It\u2019s already on your Donorbox OmniGive™ Donation Form<\/b><\/h3>\n

If y<\/span>ou\u2019ve created an <\/span>OmniGive donation form<\/span><\/a> \u2013 and you\u2019ve connected Stripe \u2013 Google Pay is already available. No extra setup needed! That means you\u2019re meeting donors where they are, with a payment method many already use on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s an example of how Google Pay looks on the form:<\/p>\n
