Likelihood to Recommend
One thing Cardknox does well is to automatically update critical credit card information such as card expiration dates. This feature not only saves time, but it solves a huge headache of keeping card information updated. Before, our customers would have to call the credit card holder to get a new expiration date. Now it is automatic.

The most fitting scenarios for use of Google Pay generally include times in which people go out to eat or grab coffee or drinks. Other times are for planned parties where one person needs to put down a credit card to pay vendors, buy products/food/etc, and needs to be reimbursed by others who may not have cash/are not in the same office space as the payor/and other similar circumstances

Cons
  • Any areas in function that we found tedious or difficult were really a result of us not knowing how to use all the features Cardknox offers. Once we contacted support with our issues and received guidance, we have not had any issues or frustrations with the system. Their support is robust and wait times for a response are extremely low!

  • Google Wallet had a few glitches I was unhappy with, but Google Pay seems to have corrected them. Who knows if the changes were related to the name change or if they just happened to coincide with the timing for the most part, but either way I really don't have any big complaints.

I feel that this system not safe. Google keep charging my credit card but they say they cannot trace the payment because there is no transaction record! I cannot stop the payment.

I have had no direct experience with the Customer Support team for google pay. I never faced any issues or problems. I heard from other friends and colleagues that the customer service is great. This method of payment is now more and more being used as it is more secure and also at the same time fast and easy.

Alternatives Considered
I have spoken to over 50 different payment solutions and integrated with 3 others. Cardknox is leaps and bounds better than others in terms of customer support, payment technologies, and overall organization.

I was not a part of the discussion to implement Google Pay into our store, but I am definitely an advocate. Amazon Pay was used sparingly but still a helpful option; I believe that Google Pay is more widespread and simpler to use. I would be interested to see how payment disputes are handled between these different payment platforms; so far, we have only had to handle disputes through PayPal, which can be complicated but have typically been resolved quickly.
