Η Google μόλις ανακοίνωσε ότι πληρωμές μέσω κινητού τηλεφώνου στο Android ξεκινούν το τρίτο τετράμηνο του 2015. Με το νέο χαρακτηριστικό Android Pay, οι χρήστες του λειτουργικού της Google, θα είναι σε θέση να πραγματοποιούν πληρωμές με ένα απλό και ασφαλή τρόπο.
Η company ανακοίνωσε ότι έχει συνεργαστεί με φορείς και καταστήματα στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, και έτσι το Android Pay θα έρχονται προ-εγκατεστημένο σε συσκευές που διατίθενται μέσω της AΤ&T, T-Mobile και Verizon.
Ωστόσο, το Android Pay θα είναι διαθέσιμο για λήψη και μέσω του Play Store of Google. This means that when local stores integrate the service, you'll be able to use Android Pay too.
According to Google, the Android Pay service is accepted in more than 700.000 stores across the United States, and in over 1.000 Android applications. More are added daily.
With Android Pay, users will be able to make payments with their mobile phone through the terminals of partner stores, but the service can also be used for online shopping.
Just select "Buy with Android Pay" and you will not have to add your credit card number or shipping address every time you make an online purchase.
Android Pay affiliates, subscribers and selected retailers will provide users with loyalty programs and special offers.
In addition, Google with Android Pay service allows users to pay by credit or debit card, from many Android devices, and in thousands of stores.
Google also confirmed that it works with all the major networks payments in the United States, such as American Express, Discover, MasterCard and Visa, in order to make Android Pay as secure as possible.
Android Pay will launch alongside Android M later this year. Initially, the service will only be available in the United States. The company did not say anything about the availability of the service to others countries.
