Google Pay comes to Embedded Giving: faster giving for your Android donors

Embedded Giving is the fastest way to give on your church website. Donors give right from the first screen, with no account to create or phone number to verify.

Now Embedded Giving supports Google Pay. Your Android donors can give in seconds, the same fast experience your iPhone donors already have with Apple Pay.

Why this matters

Generosity happens in a moment. Someone feels moved to give, pulls out their phone, and then hits a wall. Create an account. Verify a phone number. Some donors finish. Some don’t.

Embedded Giving removes that friction. A donor clicks Google Pay, confirms with the card already in their Google Wallet, and the gift is done. Nothing stands between the moment and the gift.

Until now, that instant experience was only available with Apple Pay. But Android users make up more than 40% of the US smartphone market. Now we’ve closed that gap, bringing the same fast giving to the rest of your congregation.

What this means for your church

• Fewer abandoned gifts. First-time donors are far more likely to finish when they don’t have to create an account or verify a phone number.
• Fast giving for your whole congregation. Not just iPhone users. Now Android donors get the same few-click experience.
• A better first impression. A new visitor’s first gift is fast and familiar, on whatever device they carry.

What’s next

This completes fast, first-screen giving across devices. Apple or Android, every donor now gets the same experience. The goal has always been the same: keep giving on your own site, and remove the barriers between the moment someone wants to give and the gift itself.

Getting started

Instant, first-screen giving runs on the Embedded Giving. This feature lets donors start their gift right on your church website and keeps your look and feel all the way through. That’s what puts Google Pay on the first page, with no account needed.
