How do I use Android Pay?

How does it work? Android Pay uses NFC communication to make a secure credit/debit card transaction between your smartphone and the payment terminal. You’ll be prompted to tap your phone to the contactless payment terminal when it’s your turn at the counter. Use your phone to pay at a supported NFC terminal.

Is Google pay the same as Android pay?

That’s changing today, though, with the launch of Google Pay for Android. With this, Google is rolling out an update to Android Pay and introducing some new functionality that the company hopes will make its payment service ubiquitous — both in stores and on the internet.
