The new integration furthers e-commerce efforts to meet customers where they are by providing a variety of payment options. Jose Ugia, a Google Developers engineer, pointed out in the company’s blog post that customers who choose to use their PayPal account with the quicker, more seamless Google Pay integration will still enjoy purchase protection and return shipping benefits that are included with their PayPal accounts.
It also appears to be a bonus for merchants; payment received through the PayPal/Google integration will appear in the merchant’s PayPal Business Account “within minutes,” with no minimum processing requirements. PayPal seller protections are available on eligible transactions.
